Great Maternity idea- rental pregnancy clothes!

 (me in my various degrees of pregnancy- and the best part...not one of these shirts is a maternity shirt-just big normal shirts!)
this is such a great idea- which I, and I'm sure others have thought of- rental maternity clothes!
You rent all kinds of clothes you're not gonna wear again- prom dresses, costumes, even wedding dresses...and who wants to wear maternity clothes when you're not "maternity" anymore! ha ha
No one wants to wear pregnant clothes when you're not pregnant anymore, because it just makes you look pregnant! ha ha ha
Well, unless you buy some big shirts from the non-maternity section, like I did.
H & M, and Old Navy is where I went to buy normal clothes in big sizes to fit over my belly!

So if you know someone who's preggy and is in need of some pregnancy clothes, but doesn't want to spend a bunch of money....hit if Old Navy or send them this cool link to just "borrow" some pregnancy clothes for cheap, see click here: www.minefornine.com
(I'm gonna go post this on my pregnant sisters facebook...hee hee)

Who want a closet full of gathered, pleated or "wrap" style pregnancy shirts....? ha ha ha

now they just need one called, "stylish-funky-trendy-and-don't-wanna-wear-any-ugly-maternity-clothes"...ha ha ha

glad I just gave my sister the last of my maternity clothes...she has her own maternity company, called, kandee's pregnancy klothes...ha ha ha
hugs bigger than a pregnant belly, kandee

Pregnancy 101: what to eat

Eat Giant Zuchinis! ha ha ha....I just thought this picture was hilarious!

Since I've gotten so many emails about "what's should I eat when I'm pregnant?"..."what vitamins should I take when I'm pregnant?".....
here I present to you...Kandee's Pregnancy 101: what to eat and what not to eat when you're pregnant!

I tried to eat as healthy as possible...but I did give in sometimes to cupcakes and crepes....
crepes in San Francisco on Haight Street
standing next to the Crepe trailer in London..posing with a Andy Warhol-esque Nutella piece of art!
(ha ha..from these pictures you'd never guess I've only left my house 2 times in the last month! Both to go to doctor appointments! ha ha ha...forget world traveller...I feel fancy when I get to come out and type in the living room when little Cupcake is sleeping!..ha ha ha)

So here are some links for the prenatal vitamins I show in the video:

Garden of Life VITAMIN CODE Raw Prenatal Vitamins www.gardenoflifeusa.com
or I just got mine at Whole Foods
FLORA SMART Probiotics-www.renewlife.com

Now let's get a watchin'! I made this so everyone will have a jump start on giving their future baby the best start possible!

huge love and prenatal vitamins...ha ha ha

The Best Bras for Breastfeeding and Maternity Boobs!


THESE LADIES BRING A WHOLE NEW MEANING TO HANDS-FREE! ha ha ha
if you are breastfeeding, you might as well use all your old bras as a hands-free cell phone device, like this clever lady...until you're done nursing! ha ha ha
OR LIKE THIS LADY...(ha ha ha)

"oh Leslie, you'll never guess what I'm doing...I'll I can say is, I'm multi-tasking???!!!"
"no way!?! Let me guess! You're working on your computer while pumping breastmilk too!?!"
(ha ha ha ha)

What's a girl to do to hold her milk-makers in place?

I'll tell ya...and as a mama who's nursing baby #4....I've got some boob news to make you say...
HIP HIP BOOB-RAY!

And I just had to show this picture to you because it made me laugh! ha ha ha

BEST MOST COMFORTABLE NURSING / MATERNITY BRA:

WHY I LOVE IT:
It's made of cotton, so you won't get sweaty boobs like with a synthetic fabric 
It doesn't have any underwire to dog into your already stretched out ribs
Super soft straps
Cut low under the armpits so it doesn't feel like you're armpits are being tortured
Super comfy
It doesn't make your boobs look like your wearing a nursing or maternity bra! ha ha ha
I got mine a Babies R Us, and I wish I would've bought 2 now!

AND since you need to support your boobs while sleeping...and  hold nursing pads in place, so you don't wake up to a cold, wet shirt soaked in your own milky-ness...ha ha ha
my fav nursing pads are the:

why I like these:
they are thin, don't stick to your boobs, and again...they are thin...ha ha ha...no one wants to feel like they have diapers on their boobs! ha ha ha)


BEST NIGHTTIME NURSING SLEEP BRA 


MAJAMAS ORGANIC The Easy Bra
(you can buy the non organic one too, it's a little cheaper)
I couldn't sleep another night with the awful $14 nursing bra I got at Wal-Mart..the hook were digging into my back like a fish who had been caught! I ordered this incredibly, comfy bra from www.diapers.com and it arrived at my door in less than 2 days!
Why I love this bra:
it is so comfy I am wearing it all day
it has no hooks or uncomfortable straps
is super soft
you hardly even feel like you have a bra on! I love it!
I am going to order another one, to have a back up! I bought the white, now I'll get the black! ooh la la

Don't worry...you'll get to wear your fancy bras again one day...and you'll fit into your old pants faster when you're breastfeeding! ha ha ha

WOW BREASTFEEDING FACT:
the average breastfeeding mama, burns 500 calories a day breastfeeding! Awesome...to put that in perspective...the AVERAGE PERSON BURNS ONLY 200 calories running for 30 minutes! Yeah Breastfeeding Work Out! ha ha ha


off to go "workout" ha ha ha....and by that I mean go nurse my little one...
your friend, kandee
