Monday Must have's... Mommy gear

For some reason Marlow is always a pure delight on Mondays. Maybe she's tuckered out from the weekends or maybe I just have more energy. Either way I seem to always have time for me again on Monday and life seems easy.... well as easy as life can be with a 1 month old.

I'm thinking of starting a Monday Must have's for each week and it seems only natural to kick it off with Mommy gear that gets me through the week.

My must haves for this week!

1. 30 day Shred work out video - That's right... exercise... it's a mommy must have. Of course everyone is different but I actually felt ready to hit the weights by 2 weeks post partum and this video has been my savior. 20 min to tone is just what I need with a an unobliging baby girl. Some days it takes me 3 tries to really get through it, but if I start over each time it's really a great work out. Thank you Jillian.

2. Moby - I think we tried about 3 different slings and I really love this one! There's several different holds (for nursing too). I can actually get some things done around the house with this hands free wrap.

3. Wipee Warmer - I know everyone says not really get one. In fact we didn't register for it and only bought one after the 3rd week. Which is right around the time my husband went back to work and night time diaper duty became all mine. Our little girl hated the cold wipes in the middle of the night so I figured if I'm changing her, I'm getting it. We're all a bit happier with those night time changings.

4. Wink post pregnancy compression garment - want to get that flat belly back... get this!

5. Balance ball - This is just about the only way Marlow will really get to sleep. She's not much for rocking or walking around but bounce on this and she's out!
