Wordless Wednesday

This is SO how I feel right now! I look around my house and all I see is baby gear and toys! And since my in-laws are coming to town in 2 days I'd better get to it...

Happy Wednesday!

Wordless Wednesday... Baby at peace

(Which is why I have the 3 minutes necessary to post this! Now if only I could get the other 2 quiet at the same time!)

MIA, for a good reason!

Well, I've been MIA for a week or so, for good reason...


Our little one finally decided to join us last Thursday, only 10 days late (and after 5 days of contractions and an induction!) We're both doing fine and we broke out of the hospital on Friday afternoon, then spent the weekend adapting to our new larger family and getting ready for the first day of school, which was yesterday.

Once I can I'll update you guys with more information (and post a ton of winners)... free time for blogging is currently very hard to come by!

41 Weeks 1 Day Update

Well, from the title it's obvious that I'm still cooking a baby!

I've been having contractions since Friday morning (ugh!) By Friday afternoon they were 5 min apart but mild. Went to the hospital and got sent home. By Friday night they were 3 min apart but still mild and they continued all night.

Saturday morning they stopped and then started again by afternoon, getting stronger. Since then they've continued, stopping for several hours, then starting back up erratically, then finally finding a steady rhythm at about 6 or 7 min apart, strong enough to make me stop what I'm doing but never progressing beyond that.

The doctor seems to think that all these contractions are a good thing (obviously he's never been in labor for 5 days before!) and he says it bodes well for an induction tomorrow morning.

I've never before had contractions for more than 12 or so hours, and I have to say "this sucks!" Hopefully we'll get to meet our very very stubborn baby tomorrow!

Waiting for Baby Event... Kicky Pants Review

I love companies created by moms and dads, and Kicky Pants is one of my new favorites! Kicky Pants was created by Erin Cloke when she was on bedrest during her second pregnancy. Since then her husband has joined her in the company.

Kicky Pants carries a wide variety of cotton and bamboo clothing, all of which are designed by Erin! They offer clothing for baby, kids, and even mom!

Kicky Pants even makes toys for your little one.

Kicky Pants sent me this adorable outfit to review:

It's made out of bamboo and is one of the softest baby outfits I currently own!

I especially love the ruffled butt!

Waiting for Baby Event... WrapADoodle Review

I've spent a lot of time this pregnancy looking at swaddling items, mostly because I can never keep my kids swaddled. They always kick or punch the blankets off of them (I think I'm not a very good swaddle-maker!)

So when I found WrapADoodle, I was ecstatic!

WrapADoodle is the easiest way to swaddle, and they're adorable!

WrapADoodle comes all tied up in a cute package.

Simply open it up and put baby in the giant pocket.

Tie the ends to swaddle baby's arms.

Finish off the knot. Baby is now swaddled but can still kick her legs as needed.

WrapADoodle will custom make them for you using a variety of different fabrics and they also make make matching BurpADoodle Burp Cloths! Or you can choose from WrapADoodle's pre-made sets on etsy!
