Some of my favorite "Momma" things...

Ahhh, have I ever told you how hard it is to blog with two babies? Well, it is! Anyways! While Journee naps in her bed and our trusty swing keeps Emersyn sleeping here's a post I have been waiting to do.

Some of you may know, I am getting a nephew in early May, My brother and sister in law Aaron and Michelle are expecting.
Annnnd, My other brother and sister in law Kaley and Jord are expecting a baby in July. We don't know the gender yet but are anxiously awaiting...I have LOADS of baby girl things I would LOVE to pass on...We will know of Feb.

I also have friends expecting (YAY BABIES). I thought this would be a neat post, being a 2nd time Momma I feel like I have learned SO MUCH MORE the 2nd time around and am so happy with some of my purchases that make life easier.

Here are a few of my favorite things...

http://www.bebeaulait.com/products/bebe-au-lait-nursing-covers

Breastfeeding Mom or not. This cover can be used to shelter babes from the sun or to nurse comfortably in public. Its wide and long. I have NEVER experience a "peep show" in public of a bare tummy or worse, BOOBS. Well worth every.single.penny.

(I purchased mine at bobebe)

Soother Clip. Although Emersyn doesn't like soothers, Journee did and I loved this light weight, oh-so-cute clip.
(Also purchased at Bobebe)








Bugaboo Chameleon.

LOVE THIS! For a single child, obviously.

Light weight, Tiny frame for all of this teeny mall isles. Not to mention, a bassinet which we used all the time if Journee needed to sleep at someones house.

(Also bought at Bobebe)

Can be found on Kijiji.





Ergo Carrier. A LIFE savor for walking with a toddler.
We used this for Journee and can STILL use it. You can carry baby/toddler up to 40lbs, COMFORTABLY.
When using with a newborn you need an infant insert.
Has great pockets for cell phone, keys, soother, etc.
I always have my stroller and my Ergo. You just never know :)

Thank you Lord for my Woombie. Enough said.
No seriously, the single best swaddle system. Emersyn is going onto 4months and I don't see her not wearing this to bed anytime soon. Again, super affordable and WORTH IT! You can get all different sizes and colors.
(If you want to know where to buy it, let me know)

A natural way to soothe baby!
My mother in law first bought these for Journee. They have colic for sore tummies, Cold, and teething. All worked for Journee. The only one so far we have used for Emersyn, works.
(Can be bought at your local drug store)


Cloth Diapering.
I wish we would have done it sooner.
In a previous post I share the diapers we now use as well as where they were purchased.

No smell, no mess.
Love our diaper genie. Even with cloth diapers, we still toss wipes away.
(Can be bought anywhere baby supplies are sold.)
We buy our refills from Costco

BOTTLES
Unfortunately, I don't have any real bottle advice.
I can tell you, I do not suggest Avent bottles as they leak.
I have used Playtex with the liners, I like the pre-sterilized liners so the only thing needing to be sterilized is the nipple. YAY less washing :)

I own this breast pump and LOVE IT! Its tiny, light weight and can go anywhere.
However, I do not suggest buying a pump until you know breastfeeding will work for you. Its a lot of money to spend if you decide to a. Not pump or b. Formula feed


BLANKETS
You can never have too many. period.



Thats all I can get to right now. I am being summoned by my 3month old :)
