Knocked up is the new black. Accessorize accordingly.
Tummy Time
Big is beautiful (for now, at least). Let photographer Cheryl Kaufman capture your belly in a natural light. Then follow up with documentary-style shots of your new family.
Mocktails and Dreams
Quit pouting at that forbidden tequila bottle. Invest in a copy of Preggatinis: Mixology for the Mom-to-Be and get creative with booze-free bevvies.
Skin to Skin
Start bonding from conception with Epicuren Baby all-natural baby skin care. Essential oils calm and soothe mama and child. The handy diaper spray offsets new-mom butterfingers (Vert, 1121 Abbot Kinney Boulevard, Venice; 310-581-6126).
Hope Is on the Way
Put in your two cents while you still can with a Twelve Wishes for Baby book. Fill it with photos and five simple rules to live by (Francis-Orr Stationery, 320 N. Camden Dr., at Wilshire Blvd., Beverly Hills; 310-271-6106).
