Bellybars are helly good

Of all the extras that the evil woman at Mimi Maternity has tried to pawn off or upsell at the checkout (creams, potions, cord blood banking, college savings), these faux food bars are my absolute favorites. At the time, I bought the Baby Needs Chocolate Bellybar to use up my gift credit so I would never have to darken their doorway again (that’s a hormonally-charged story for another day).

Anyway, I loved it! Love love loved it. In fact, just thinking about the one single (overpriced) bar I had that one day eight or twelve weeks ago makes me tear up and salivate. It was tasty with pretty good ingredients and just a little too expensive to turn into a habit.

Maybe you can add them to your registry or tell your mate that having them on hand will help curb your pregnancy mood swings? Good luck scoring a case!
