Back from our Babymoon
March 29, 2009
There is a ridiculous amount of marketing to pregnant women. The stretch mark creams alone are overwhelming (and by all reports completely unuseful). Part of this marketing is that one should go on a “babymoon” before you have your baby. I personally think this is a great concept although totally commercialized. (I.e. I get emails about once a week about how I should pick out some “babymoon outfits” from particular stores.)
Well we went on our Babymoon to Chicago!!! While not a tropical vacation with mocktails it was really wonderful. We saw Heather’s grandmother and mother. Heather’s grandmother has been in poor health and it was good to see her doing so well. It was also good to share our excitement about this baby with both of them and to hear stories of their births and early times with their babies. We both came back feeling refreshed and happy. I can’t believe is it only a few short weeks until our baby arrives.
I have to differ albeit slightly. I have to admit I am blessed with good genes, however, the Palmer’s line is excellent and helped me in certain trouble spots, however I began to use as soon as I found out I was having my son. I also used the leg gel for swelling the breast firming cream while I was nursing these are excellent products. Not post natal though.
