I swear by this stuff! I used it everyday of my pregnancy. It prevents itchiness and stretch marks (which I know are in my genes). L'Occitane 100% pure organic shea butter, $40. Photograph by L'Occitane

A hypoallergenic and toxin-free nail polish—perfect during pregnancy when you're trying to steer clear of chemicals. They have a beautiful color selection. Scotch Naturals nail polish, $14.99 per bottle. Photograph by Scotch Naturals

Great for days when a shower is just not in the cards, plus it smells amazing and is so inexpensive. I've tried tons of name-brand dry shampoos, but I always come back to this. Suave Professionals dry shampoo, $3. Photograph by Walgreens

The Bluum Box is my current favorite way to discover new brands and products that are amazing for both me and Everett. Makes a great gift, too. The Bluum Box, starts at $11 a month. Photograph by Bluum Box

Each item in the 14-piece Hatch collection can be worn pre-, post-, and during pregnancy—talk about wardrobe staples! I've loved wearing both the Soiree dress (left) and the coat (right). Prices start at $98. Photograph by Hatch Collection

My favorite moisturizer to use on Everett after his baths—it makes him smell like apricots. I also use it on my legs to make them feel super silky. Burt's Bees nourishing baby oil, $8. Photograph by Burts Bees

Available at honest.com

These diapers cost about the same as the name-brand diapers at the store, but are nontoxic, eco-friendly, and stylish! The Honest Co. diapers and wipes bundle, $79.95 a month. Photograph by Honest

Available at amazon.com

This book is an amazing way to document the growth of your baby even if you don't have much time. Mom's One Line a Day: A Five-Year Memory Book, $11.50. Photograph by Amazon

I am the worst at remembering to keep myself hydrated. These water bottles are beautifully designed by a company that's environmentally aware—definitely on my must-have mama wish list. KOR hydration vessels, starting at $11.95. Photograph by KOR

Available at pendleton-usa.com

I have a small obsession with baby blankets. This one is next on my list. Pendleton Chief Joseph Muchacho blanket, $72. Photograph by Pendleton USA
