I posted the image above last night after the scare on Instagram.
Last night we had a little bit of a scare. I had put SweetPea to bed at 9 p.m. I was working on the computer at about 10:45 when I heard her call out saying she needed to go to the potty. This is a huge step for her with her potty training process. She is completely potty trained during the day except for naps and we are working on night time potty training. I ran up stairs and she was burning up!
Her diaper was already wet, but she did want to try and go potty. I brought her down stairs with our first aid kit that my sister made for me as a baby shower gift back in the day. We have an unreliable ear thermometer and of course the battery was dead. Then I remembered that Nuby sent me this wonderful medical kit to review. The thermometer was very easy to use. You put it under your child's arm/tongue, press the button, and wait for it to beep. SweetPea had a fever of 101.3! I immediately cringed. And ran to get some Tylenol and a luke warm wash cloth. Our medicine dropper that came with our Tylenol started dripping and was making it where I couldn't get ANYTHING into it. But the Nuby Medical Kit comes with a medicine spoon that saved the day, PLUS SweetPea thought it was neat to "drink" her medicine from.
I am so thankful for this all in one kit from Nuby. It has everything! Medical Kit includes:
- Sure-Dose™ Medicine Dropper
- Medi•Nurser™
- Nasal Aspirator with Ear Syringe
- Medicine Spoon
- Nail Clippers
- Digital Thermometer
Thank you Nuby for saving the day! What are some of your go to cures when your little one is sick?

Welcome back to our weekly series! This week we are discussing preparing the nursery and registering. At 32 weeks preggo, I am just starting to actually get the nursery together. With that comes registering. I just registered. Online only. Mainly because I just found out that I was having showers. With SweetPea, I started registering as soon as I found out we were pregnant and even did walk through of the stores. I had received a ton of things as hand-me-downs, but knew we needed a ton more. The funny thing about registries is, no one seems to buy from them. There are those few people who do. And then there are those gifts that aren't on your registry, but they are so wonderful for different reasons. With SweetPea, everyone bought us clothes. I had received a ton of hand-me-downs from my former boss and although it was nice to have new stuff for her, we were over whelmed with the amount of clothes we had that she wore some things only once and some things not at all. That's one of the many reasons I'm excited about not finding out the sex of this baby before delivery. There are so many things we need again (because we got hand-me-downs the first time around, so although they made it through 3 babies, they weren't going to make it through a 4th) that don't have to be gender specific. Diapers, Lotions, Soaps, Wipes, etc. Plus I did register for some bigger ticket items that I am not expecting anyone to get us, like a new camera, a double stroller, a travel swing, and a Shark vacuum.
I honestly didn't think I would be getting a baby shower because this is my second baby and some people keep telling me I shouldn't because there isn't anything to buy since they don't know the sex (I think they are trying to guilt me in to finding out). But my husband's cousin asked about throwing us one because as she said "Every baby deserves to be celebrated". I thought that was just beautiful. And I am excited about the shower. She found these very cute neutral invitations on etsy (I don't know the shop).
The other great thing about registering is the free gifts you get! I registered at Babies-R-Us and Target where I received some AWESOME little gift packages. The best so far was actually from Motherhood Maternity though.
Since we aren't finding out the sex before hand, preparing the nursery means something different for me. We haven't been decorating like we did with my daughter (although we didn't go all out with hers because we were on a VERY limited income at the time).
A few things I think you should remember going into making your registry and completely your nursery:
1. Not everyone likes registries.
2. You aren't going to get everything you registered for (that's where gift cards come in handy).
3. And you will be grateful for EVERYTHING you get. Regardless on registry or not. Promise.

Do you have any go to registry items? What's your favorite part about getting your nursery together?
I am so excited to give baby wearing a real try with the upcoming arrival of baby number two, due late March. I tried with SweetPea, but I didn't have a good carrier like the ones that Boba provides. But running after a 3 year old all day, I am going to have to be able to breastfeed & hold my newborn all at the same time. So that's why I'm excited to announce that I am officially a Boba Ambassador!
Boba was nice enough to send me The Boba Carrier 4G in Dusk as a welcome gift (comes with an infant insert), so be sure to check back for a full review on that once little Appleseed arrives in late March. I'm thinking based on the stats, that the Hubby could even test it out on SweetPea before then!
The company says, "Boba designs thoughtfully crafted products for active parents who want the time and freedom to create a real and caring bond with their child, while living life to the fullest." You can really see this mission come through in the products they sell. I am so excited to be an advocate for this brand! Make sure to check out Boba at http://www.bobafamily.com/ and be on the lookout for more from Boba!
I’m a Boba Ambassador. I participate in Boba events and online conversations, and receive thank you gifts for my participation, but all opinions and experiences expressed are my own.
Last week the Hubby was on vacation. It was so nice to have him home. We got SweetPea moved over to her big girl room and are starting to get the nursery ready for the newest bundle. Here are some pictures of his vacation. We also celebrated his 30th birthday!

Pish Posh Baby is a high end baby store, online and also has a physical store located in Jackson, NJ!
Their store is unlike any other because they have a car INSIDE their store to try out car seats for installation. They also have different tracks/terrain to try out different baby strollers. If you live near NJ, I suggest you drop in and check out the Pish Posh Baby store!
With baby number two on the way, I am definitely making sure to check out Pish Posh Baby and all the wonderful strollers they have available for pre-order for 2014. You should check them out too!
