1. Ice Packs! As your body starts to swell or as every body part starts to hurt ice packs will be your best friend! This is a great way to cool off too. I iced ankles, feet, knees, and my back.. I will admit I attempted to ice my ribs but Jackson didn't like that so... don't try that one.
2. Humidifer: Must must must for the third trimester. At night my nose would get really stuffy and this really seemed to help.
3. Batteries! As you start putting together all that great baby stuff you will quickly realize you need tons of C and D batteries so start stocking up now. We made the mistake of telling the lady at Buy Buy Baby uh we have tons of batteries at home we don't need any... that was until we realized we needed C batteries. Who uses C batteries?!
4. Massage: Whether it's your husband or a professional you will need lots of back and foot massages! I did get two professional massages and the one during the 3rd trimester was AMAZING. I felt great! I would highly recommend it. I went to massage heights which was reasonable and they were really good.
5. Flipflops: For those swelling feet. Ouch! I gave up on any other shoes a long time ago.
6. Body of water...ocean/pool: To float in. The ocean was the best option for me- it's a little cold and you can float in the waves -love it! The pool water was too hot for me. The water helps your back/feet and being hot! Plus it is super relaxing. And if you doggy paddle around that counts as exercise :)
7. Bigger maternity clothes: Boo. Like I mentioned before I only bought a couple more things to get me through the last month. And I steel Jamie's t-shirts when we are hanging out at home. I also wear the same workout outfit everyday.. don't worry I wash it.
8. A good book or tv series: To keep you off your feet and for those times when you are exhausted but can't sleep. The Olympics came at the perfect time! In fact I wish it was longer!
