Occupation: Creator of the MWH Method
How would you describe your pregnancy style? I like a comfortably fitted dress with a jean jacket around my waist during the day and leather jacket around my shoulders at night. White keds, all day and all night. Then you know Iâm definitely one to throw on a hat for a good daytime accessory.
What is one pregnancy ritual youâve built into your routine? Lymphatic drainage massages weekly! My latest addition has been celery juice first thing in the morning.
Whatâs your favorite pregnancy product that you cannot live without? I love the Hatch Belly Oil.
What will you miss most about being pregnant once the baby arrives? I was quick to say nothing because Iâm not the biggest pregnancy lover, but when I really think about it Iâll miss all the special moments of Benjamin cuddling up to my bump and saying the sweetest things.
Whatâs one piece of pregnancy advice every mama to be needs to know? Everyoneâs body adapts to pregnancy differently, so you canât compare your journey with pregnancy with anyone elseâs.
Whatâs your top 5 registry essentials?
1. Maxi Cosi Pria 85 Car Seat because itâs safe and is compatible from birth to 85 pounds.
2. Babybjorn bouncer is a must when theyâre infants if you want to get anything done!
3. The Snoo, Happiest Baby Bassinet. I havenât tried it yet, but all my mom friends rave about it so Iâll definitely get one.
4. Babyzen Yoyo Stroller because itâs light and easy to travel with.
5. Artipoppe Baby Wraps because theyâre so beautiful and soft, though theyâre definitely a splurge!
