A dear friend, Sydney Bush, asked me a few months ago if I had a pair of "Jaeggins" (pronounce it like your from Tennessee). I didn't know what the heck she was saying, so after someone translated for her I got thinking that I might need my own "jeggings". Syd raved and raved over hers....
Well pregnancy sprung up and I lost hope of fitting into those "skinny" looking "jaeggins" and prayed they would be around post baby. However, that didn't have to be the case. On a recent trip home to NJ, my best friend (who is also pregnant with her 2nd), surprised me with a gift of jeggings! To my surprise, they make MATERNITY! For anyone that knows me, I am leggings girl... I wear them with t's, tunics, cute dresses, etc. Pregnancy just got a whole lot cooler with this gift.
So which Jeggings are hip? I did a quick little write-up a few pairs I've seen family/friends wear and then of course if you're expecting the 'Secret Fit Belly' ones are just too die for.

Belli Skin Care: Acne Clearing Facial Wash
Having beautiful skin is so important! During my pregnancy with Massimo, my skin was just awful and I never found a product to help clear it up. With this pregnancy, my skin is definitely different (probably because I'm having a girl!)...it's more dry, breaks out on occasions and there was no way I was going 9+ months without a great product.
Walking through the aisles of our local health store (pharmacia), the beauty specialist pointed out the Belli Skincare line, suited for pregnant woman. I quickly snatched the facial cleanse up and have been using it PROUDLY for 2 months now... it is amazing! It has the perfect texture on your skin, smells great and leaves my skin looking clean and new. I highly recommend it for ALL woman!!

Mighty Mommies: 9 Months of Fitness
After I had Massimo, I so desperately wanted to get back in shape. The gym was hard to get too, because I was so busy with baby, and a walk just wasn't enough. 9 Months of Fitness, WOULD have been the perfect DVD for me to get back in shape, gain strength, and do it in the convenience of my own home!
I recently bought this DVD, because not only am I expecting #2 but it just happens to be made by one of my very close friends here in LA. Autumn brings an amazing mix of legs, arms, and even abs to this 45 minute weight/strength workout. I don't know about you, but when I'm pregnant, I tend to forget about doing weights and focus more on walking/light cardio and yoga. This DVD is the perfect workout for all you expectant and new moms!
