Jillian's Pregnancy Must-Haves

1. I loved reading Expecting Better by Emily Oster. She’s a renowned economist who wanted to make informed decisions about raising her kids based on facts and research. I also just ordered Bringing Up Bébé by Pamela Druckerman and plan to read it while on maternity leave.

2. Glow Nurture app

4. For beauty, I love Mama Mio products. Their face
wash and boob tube are awesome!

5. I have gone through about five bottles of Bio-Oil to
prevent any stretch marks or skin irritation as my bump grows.

6. I didn’t realize I could use a heating pad until I was
already in my fifth month, but it has been a lifesaver for my back ever since.

7. When it comes to local restaurants, Chris and I are creatures of habit. You will find us rotating between Mi Cocina, Taverna and The Porch on a weekly basis.
