Lizzie's 4 Month Check In!

Happy 4 Months, Sweet Pea!
Saturday, April 9, 2011
Happy Saturday, everyone!
So I have been using our Wii Fit for my exercise. (I also have been walking and of course doing house cleaning and taking care of the baby which regardless of what any website says, I have a flight of stairs to run up and down so it counts!)
Anyways, today my baby girl turned four months old.
So we decided to create a Mii (the people used for each player in the games) so we could weigh her each month. It's a little off because I couldn't put her exact birthday or her height but none the less I created one. (She weighs 12.2 pounds BTW! :] )

I made my husband weigh himself and see what his Wii Fit age is. He hadn't used the Wii Fit in almost two years! (And wants me to get Zumba. I refuse to bring another exercise program into this house that isn't used - we already have P90X.)
Anyways we took this picture once we made Sweet Pea's Mii.
My DH is asleep because he's so lazy and I'm looking at him annoyed! HA!
Stone Mountain for My Bday

Thanks, Momma!
Lizzie and I spent the night with my mom the night before.
We went to Target beforehand to get some snacks and stuff where I bought this cheapo carrier that sucked...or maybe I'm just bad at babywearing...

It was hard to find a spot I felt comfortable nursing. :C
I was going to feed her in the 4D theater, BUT it scared her and she was inconsolable.
My niece and nephews did the rock climb, but I had to let Caleb borrow my shoes. So my mom basically bought me an upgraded pass so I could watch the laser show. :/
I seriously felt really bad about that, but she said it was okay as long as I had a good birthday gift.
Which I did.

Still had a good time. And I finally got a good nursing session in right before the fireworks, which she just slept right through!
Fun times!
A year has gone by....
Saturday, March 26, 2011
Last year we had just started trying to have a baby, my husband gave me the best birthday party ever.
This year we have a three month old and we're going to a one year old's b-day party tomorrow. :)
Last year we were hanging out with friends every weekend and partying and drinking.
This year I drink TONS of water so I can feed my baby.
Last year I had no bed time and I would stay up late.
This year my LO goes to bed around 8:30 and if we stay up late it's because we have a grumpy, crying baby on our hands.
Life has changed so much in a year. It's so crazy to think that I had a BABY! That still blows my mind. I wonder when it won't feel so surreal anymore...
Lizzie turned 15 weeks old on Thursday.
I weighed her on the Wii and she weighs 11.8 pounds. She's my little munchkin. She's able to do everything she's suppose to so she's thriving and I couldn't be more thrilled. :)
Happy birthday to me tomorrow! Goodnight!
Newborn Favorites - Birth to Three Months
Thursday, March 24, 2011
As a first time mama but a previous infant care provider, I thought I knew what I needed for a new baby. Here are some of our favorite things. I'm hoping to make this a series so let me know what you think. :)
Lansinoh Nipple Cream
Now I haven't tried any other nipple creams but would I? It's the only kind I received as a baby shower gift from my only dear friend who breastfed PLUS it's the brand they gave me at the hospital! Hello! Hospital recommended! We go through a ton but the price is worth it. Love. This. Stuff.
Bright Stars Activity Mat
Lansinoh Disposable Breast Pads
I have tried Evenflo Disposable Breast Pads, Nuk Disposable Breast Pads, and neither product can compare. Lansinoh has sticky tabs some they don't move around in your bra, they are soft and not scratchy like some other brands can be which is a MUST during those first tender weeks, and they are individually wrapped which is great for throwing them in the diaper bag.
Bumbo seat with tray
Boppy Nursing Pillow
I love my boppy so much it comes everywhere with me (except my mother-in-law's because she has the same one at her house :]). I know I have talked about the drama about women being asked to leave or cover up when nursing. I say feed your baby wherever you are comfy. I only feel comfy with my boppy so I don't mind going to my car. It's a personal choice but no one should tell a women where or how she can feed her baby.
Medela Nursing Stool
LOVE my Medela nursing stool! Of course it's Medela. :) My dear friend (;]) gave me her old one. And I loved it when I was pregnant and had issues with some chairs and I love it even more now that I am nursing so I can have help holding her at the perfect nursing level.
Nuk Pacifiers
I was terribly against pacifiers. I thought they were just gross. But I was becoming a human pacifier and I was exhausted. If you are against them, that is your choice, just remember each child is different and it's always easy to judge something you have no idea about. Nuk silicone BPA free pacifiers seem to be Sweet Pea's favorite.
Pampers Swaddlers
So soft! Another favorite that the hospital gave us. Sweet Pea can only wear Huggies or Pampers because every other brand (or off brand) seems to break her out and although it seems Huggies can be cheaper after the coupons they give out, I love the softness of Swaddlers also Pampers indicator seems to work better. Yes they have a cool indicator that tells you when the baby is wet which is awesome when they are newborns who pee a little but frequently.
Koala Baby Blanket
Huggies Wipes
Maybe not as soft as Pampers but they get the job done better in my opinion because they are thicker. Which is better for those sticky meconium poops. They also do better in a wipe warmer, IMO.
Fisher Price Exersaucer
Why I love it? Two reasons: It can easily fold up and be stores out of the way and you can buy other replacement toy pieces and exchange them out if you need to sanitize or if you just want to change them up.
Munchkin Wipe Warmer
I thought wipe Warner's were a dumb buy that new parents register for but they don't really need. Sweet Pea was born in the winter. It snowed on Christmas and, remember Snowpocalpse? The world is scary to a newborn who has been in the warmth of their mother's womb and the shock of the cold wipe is what I think makes them cry so much during diaper changes. Sweet Pea always did better with a warm wipe.
Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Infant Swing
This was a hand-me-down from my boss (the Bouncie seat I also mention is part of the set). They make ones now with plugs that don't require to just have batteries which would have been nice but I still love this swing and most importantly so does Sweet Pea. She loves to watch the fish spin (we are missing two LOL), she loves the music, and she likes it to go side-to-side in the swaying motion. Sweet Pea is the last baby to use it and it won't last o our next but we love it.
Bassinet
This was an awesome yard sale find my mother-in-law found. It comes with a mobile that plays all different types or music and noise. Sweet Pea loves the 'womb' sounds. I love the bassinet because she is in arms reach. It also vibrates which is kind of cool and it has a storage basket on the bottom, oh and it also rocks but you can make it where it won't if you don't want it to.
Fisher Price Ocean Wonders Bouncie Seat
Aveeno Baby Wash
Why we like it? Because it's gentle on baby's skin and moisturizing. Sweet Pea had a little bit of baby acne when she was first born and this seemed to help.
So what were some of your newborn to three month old baby's favorites? Did I miss anything?
