A lot of people have asked, “what are some of the things you purchased in the first trimester?” I have to say, being that I’ve been so sick, I’ve hardly bought anything! It’s not that we weren’t excited, we were just a bit preoccupied with trying to make it through each day.
I did however buy myself a little pick-me-up as soon as we found out, this customized, amazing smelling Palo Santo candle from Le Labo that I’ve had my eye on for years now!
I was feeling a little blue about being sick, anxious about being newly pregnant and sad that we couldn’t share the news, so I decided to order this candle and customize it to my sweet little bebe. (If you look closely, you’ll see it says For: Bebe Grey)
Not only did it brighten my spirits seeing our little secret on something so cute and v real, but Palo Santo is known for it’s spiritual purifying and energy cleansing properties. Most importantly, Palo Santo is said to bring love, good fortune and mental calmness. Any newly preggo (especially first-time) mama knows, you need all of the positive vibes and good fortune you can get. I figured, whether you believe in it or not, it could’t hurt right!? Plus it really is the yuuuummmiest scent!
The only other things I’ve purchased in the first tri have been things to provide some relief from the nausea and sickness, which I promise to tag in a later post.
