I cannot believe the twins are turning one this month! After
all the sleepless nights and tears (the twins' and mine), we're finally near
the one year mark! In celebration of this milestone, I wrote a list of my
favorite things that I used during my first year of being a twin mommy. I
wish I could do an Oprah and tell all of you that I will be giving each one of
you all of my favorite things but for now, I'll just share my list and hope you
can find something you like too.
This binder helped me fit into my pre-pregnancy jeans after just a month of using it. It also provided great back support that helped me
stand straight and move around better. What more can you ask for?
I applied this on my tummy twice a day after giving birth
(then put on my Wink binder). It worked like magic and helped tighten the skin
around my post-baby belly.
Postpartum hair fall really got me. But after only one week of using Zenutrients gugo shampoo, I already noticed less breakage. Now at
almost one year postpartum, my hair is growing back and is looking nice and
thick.
The fabric and fit of this dress is so great that I was able
to use it during pregnancy and a few months postpartum. I really admire Kate
Middleton's style and this dress reminded me of the fuchsia knot maternity
dress she wore in her first official pictures with Prince George.
This lipstick is perfect for everyday wear. It keeps me from
looking washed up when all I can manage is a bit of moisturiser and lipstick before leaving
the house.
Bloom swaddles
I just love Bloom swaddles from Baby Company. They helped
get the twins to sleep when they were newborns and now that we no longer
swaddle, we use them to cover the twins' strollers when they're asleep or as a
blanket for cold car rides among other things. They're super soft and come in
really nice colors and designs that I'm tempted to use them on myself as a
scarf!
The twins wear their Uniqlo mesh onesies all day, everyday.
I love that they're stretchy around the neck and shoulders which makes dressing
up easy. They're also soft and cool which makes them perfect for our tropical weather.
Dr. Browns bottles
After trying different bottles, this was the only one that
helped Audrey with her colic and spit up issues. Washing can take a few minutes
longer because of the extra parts that make up the bottle's vent system but
it's worth it.
This diaper bag has plenty of pockets which makes it easy to organise and locate the twins' needs. It has plenty of space yet still looks compact.
Its neutral color and design also make it possible for me and Joey to share one
diaper bag.
