    Jammies Infant Sleep Sack Review

    This might be the cutest baby product I’ve reviewed… of course being owl obsessed I’m loving the sweet little owls found on this sleep sack! I was so excited for the opportunity to review this and be able to use it with our sweet new Baby Bird… and OWLS!!!!   How adorable is that? I received this in the mail while I was still pregnant with Bird, but I immediately opened the clear package to inspect the fabric… so so soft. Perfect for a newborn with sensitive skin! Boogie and Bubby both loved being swaddled when they were born, so I had high hopes that Bird would be the same…

    Baby Bird is HERE!

      She’s here! She’s here! She’s here! Sweet Baby Bird decided that December 8th was to be her birthday, so she finally arrived at 40 weeks and 2 days gestation!   All night prior I had menstrual like cramping, it was uncomfortable… but more annoying than anything else. I didn’t think anything of it because it didn’t feel anything like the beginnings of labor I had with Bubby. I tossed and turned, drank water, used the restroom… nothing helped so I just dealt with the cramping and tried to sleep. I had my 40 week appointment scheduled for 10:30am and thankfully, Janelle and I had planned ahead for her to…

    Baby Bird – 40 Weeks

      How far along? 40 weeks Total weight gain/loss: A total of 12 pounds. Maternity clothes? Yes… though even maternity clothes aren’t good at covering my belly anymore. Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie! Sleep: Sleep… I haven’t gotten much sleep this week. J started his new job so the kids and I have been commuting with him and staying at the grandparents’ houses so that we’re closer to the hospital and J when I go into labor. Last night I slept okay though, and J let me sleep in a little too. Best moment this week: Nothing to do with Bird, but J started his new job… and he’s SO incredibly calm and…

    Baby Bird – 39 Weeks

    How far along? 39 weeks (and 1 day…) Total weight gain/loss: As of today I’m not sure… I gained 12lbs in a WEEK apparently according to my last appointment… so I need to weigh myself again soon to see how accurate that was. Maternity clothes? Yes… though even maternity clothes aren’t good at covering my belly anymore. Stretch marks? Same old ones I’ve had since Boogie! Sleep: Sleep…I wish I could sleep. Best moment this week: Finished our Christmas shopping for the kids! We are READY. Movement: Her movements are bigger and more visible now, though she’s running out of “womb” so it hurts… 🙁 Food cravings: Salad, hummus, pita bread Gender: Girl! Labor signs: Nothing major, just the Braxton Hicks…

    This is a few days late… we celebrated Bubby’s birthday on Saturday (he turns 2 on Wednesday!) so things got a little busy around here 🙂   How far along? 38 weeks (while this post is late… this picture WAS taken on Saturday at 38 weeks!)

Movement: This baby girl is…
