Cold Pack for Baby Boo-boos

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Okay, I am not normally one to purchase plastic silliness, but these little “Peas Cold Therapy” packs actually sound like a legitimately useful item to have on hand with a little kiddo.   I’ll have to watch for them to be on sale at CVS.

Stack N’ Smile Photo Blocks

Friday, July 31st, 2009

Just another idea for something I want to remember.

I have this paranoia that our child, while very young, will not know his/her grandparents, aunt & uncle, cousins and extended family back in IL upon sight.  So when I saw an ad for these “stack n smile photo blocks” I thought what a perfect idea is might be to have something like that for our kiddo.

Having this soft little block the baby can safely slobber on, chew on, and look at to remember what my parents look like sounds pretty cool!

Portable Placemat

Friday, July 31st, 2009

I’ve been pouring through the zillion baby related magazines that have flooded our home during the past nine months.  They came from all sorts of sources and have some neat ideas, but where on earth do you keep track of an idea you might have for a future use without clogging your house with paper…yup, our blog, cuz it has a cool, easy to use category function!!

So every once and a while I’m going to post about something on here that I either thought was a good idea, a neat product to purchase in the future or just something I want to remember.  And hey, it might be useful info for someone else too.

I found this ad for a portable placemat that I thought was pretty neat.  Not necessarily something I want to buy, but maybe something to try sewing down the road.  I always watch infants take those paper placemats at restaurants and with one hand whoosh the food and fragile placemat onto the floor.  So the thought of having something more substantial, washable and potentially less likely to end up on the floor sounds good. Plus, I’m all for reusable, washable stuff!

Great Ultrasound Results

Friday, July 31st, 2009

We went to the ultrasound appointment yesterday and the baby is doing great, got a perfect score in fact.  So that gave me a one week reprieve to go into labor on my own.  I need to have the baby by next Wednesday or that is when the midwife wants to have a final induction/c-section conversation.

Prayers…prayers…prayers!!  (no pressure or anything…)
