It's no secret there are COUNTLESS products on the market that claim they help prevent stretch marks during pregnancy or they're the most moisturizing to your skin. Seriously it seems like every single brand has their own belly oil or cream or lotion, all with different prices ranges Trying to narrow down which one is the best is extremely overwhelming. I know I was overwhelmed with all the brands and creams and which one would work the best for me. Also the amount of product within the container, I'd run through it in no time. At 12 weeks I decided it was time for me to begin looking for the best moisturizer (even though I was still just bloated at that point, I wanted to get ahead of the game).

It's that time of your pregnancy, your doctor says you need to have your glucose test done. You hear from other people how awful it is, how bad the drink taste, the side effects, etc. Well I'm here to tell you that it's really not that bad....There's really no reason to be scared. I wasn't nervous about it until it got to become a few days out. Like most of us expecting mother's do, we over think. I honestly was okay if I failed and had GD and had to monitor it for the rest of my pregnancy, what I was worried about was failing and having to take the 3 hour glucose test FASTED. I don't do well with fasted blood work (when I got my full hormone panel done I passed out then thew up, but that's a story for another day). I researched and read what to eat and the best way to "pass" the test. So here's what I did and my honest opinion about my experience. 

Let me tell you, I have LOVED receiving all the hand me downs people have so graciously given us , for free. I didn't plan on putting baby clothes on my registry and with all the hand me downs and second hand items I've bought, I won't have to. So lets get into the Laundry Striping process. As I'm sure you know, laundry striping is when you soak clothes in a tub of very hot water with a mixture of cleaners, and let it sit for a few hours. This deep cleans/kills germs and gets those pesky smells out of used items (clothes, toys, covers ,etc.). So here's what I used and did.

FREE!!! Yes, you read that right, FREE. Did you know that there are companies and stores that offer free sample and goodie baby bags? Well you do now and I'm here to tell you how to get them! P.S. some items are full size and it's not the same items in box every single time, so your box might have something different than mine

When you do a simple Google search of Clomid, the definition is: "a non-steroidal fertility medicine. It causes the pituitary gland to release hormones needed to stimulate ovulation (the release of an egg from the ovary). Clomid is used to cause ovulation in women with certain medical conditions (such as polycystic ovary syndrome) that prevent naturally occurring ovulation."
