Just be careful when pitching the tent and getting any dirt under your nails. I know its a bit over the top but you dont know whats been on the grass before hand. Its always good to have that little bottle of hand sanitizer. Have fun!

I wish I did! Despite spray I still get eaten all over! And lucky me, I go into l&d on Wednesday and one got me right between the eyes! That'll make for some glorious first moment  pictures!

I went camping earlier in my pregnancy & was just fine. I would recommend an air mattress & pillows. I didn't have either & it was way un-comfy! Avon has this lotion called "skin so soft" that people clam work as a bug repellent & they also make a bug guard that is really good. I've also heard of eating lots of garlic. Hope you have fun! Wish I could go but it's way too hot for my big ol self. LOL
