Week Change Ok , so I'm an idiot. But I also think this whole age thing is confusing as crap! When we are born we are in our 1st year but then we turn 1 year old and when we are 1 year old we're actually into our 2 nd year! It works the same way with weeks.

Since he turns 12 weeks old today this whole past week has actually been his 12 th week, not his 11 th ! Confusing? Yes!

When I walked in and saw this it was too cute not to snap...

Body Pillow: I have used it every night since the first trimester and it's a lifesaver. It does take up a LOT of room in our queen bed but it is so comfortable and helps me sleep on that dreaded left side! It's tough to sleep while pregnant and a body pillow is a must have! Boppy makes a super popular one here. 2. Bella Band: Right when you find out you're pregnant buy one. I wore it all the way up until my 8th month! I was able to wear all my normal pants but just left them unbuttoned. It really does stay up! It's also great when you don't really have the full pregnant belly yet, just the "beer gut...
