At some point during her pregnancy, your friend will want to trade in her old shoes for a comfortable new pair that support her tired, swollen feet. Slip on shoes are PERFECT because she won’t have to bend over to put them on or tie shoe laces. Plus, these Jessica Simpson faux fur slippers are so cute!

Journaling her experience is a perfect keepsake for her and something she can share when her child gets older!
