Yummi Bears and Pose Prints

Taking vitamins has not come incredibly easy to me during these last few months. The first three were the hardest because I felt SO sick all the time and could barely stomach taking a pill, but managed to shove enough of them down that I think I did ok. Now that I'm in the third trimester, I take my prenatal every night, but have still had a hard time with one kind of vitamin/supplement in particular - Omegas! I've always know the importance of taking Omegas/Fatty Acids and felt that it was really important to take some while preggers to help with my little bun's brain development. The problem with most of the Omegas is that they come from fish oil and no matter what a company does to them, they taste like FISH. Lee doesn't seem to have a problem with the Omegas coming back to haunt him throughout the day, but I always have. This of course proved to be a HUGE problem during my 1st trimester, but I found a solution.....YUMMI BEARS! They are gummy bears made specifically for children in order to help them better take their vitamins, but I've found them to be super tasty for me too and a way to get in good Omegas without tasting any kind of fish. The YUMMI BEARS Omega 3,6,9 are derived from vegetarian omega sources...interesting. I buy them at Whole Foods, but I think Trader Joes now has a gummy Omega supplement as well, so check them out. When browsing the site online today for YUMMI BEARS, I noticed that they do have a gummy product for adults but I haven't seen them sold anywhere yet. Check out the link:

With my shower coming up in March, I've been searching online for cute shower thank you notes, came across the site Pose Prints , and fell in love. I haven't indulged too much in this pregnancy...well, at least not on buying things for myself or the bun. Food indulgence is a whole other subject ;) Since I've been a good girl and not gone overboard on my spending thus far, I'm considering going overboard on these thank you notes because they are too cute. Pose Prints offers invitations, baby announcements, etc. that you can personalize with a virtual person that you create to look just like you (or close) which is printed on the card. Check out the card that I designed below. Does it look like me? The cards aren't cheap, but something so different and clever that I pretty much can't resist!
