Oh no, now I'm looking at baby things!
I dread the thought of my inner shopping addict
going overboard on baby things. I can see the signs already. Last night I was
itching to pick up the entire Burt's Baby Bee line - gimme that buttermilk
lotion, and the buttermilk bath soak, and the apricot baby oil, and I restrained
myself and bought a sleepytime pillow spray instead. Oh, and I've become a
collector of unguents that purport to prevent and/or fade stretch marks:
Badger's Evolving Body Balm (with extra virgin olive oil and essential oils),
Derma E's Cocoa Butter and Vitamin E cream, a Vaseline "Mark Minimizer" lotion.
I even concocted a salve out of cocoa butter, jojoba and avocado oil, and
various essential oils - except I remembered too late that clary sage isn't
recommended for preggies.
It won't be long now, though. There are entire floors of department stores to plough through instead of sidestep, as I used to do in my pre-pregnancy life. I can't wait.
