*Giveaway and Freebie at the end of this post.
This is my baby sister:) A couple weeks ago, I went out to visit her when she looked like this...

| for the record: baby was a surprise and we took pictures with both the boy pin and girl |

| The Buth Family |
And we are OVER THE MOON excited to celebrate this little guy! Jackson, you are a precious gift from God. I'm just wondering why you couldn't come a couple days early, so I could have been there to snuggle you?!?! I'll admit I'm a wee bit jealous that my husband is going to get to see him first:( But then again, my husband maybe deserves some boy time with 5 girls at home:)
So FEBRUARY has even more reason to celebrate now. Welcome to the world Jackson!

Since Baby was a surprise, I had my sister pick out a boy fabric and a girl fabric, and told her I would sew any baby stuff she wanted once baby arrived. I couldn't really get a jump start on sewing....I had to wait!
So this week I've been busy sewing Dinosaurs! With 5 girls, it was fun to drown myself in boy stuff:)

| Small Wet Bag |
Don't worry, cause Mom has extra dry clothes in the wet bag! And then contain the mess by slipping the dirty/wet stuff into the wet bag.
And when Jack gets fussy and tired, she'll just need to pull out his snuggle blanket to help sooth him.
When he gets bigger, he can tag his backpack for school or his suitcase for trips to Grandma and Grandpa's house.

This luggage tag on her diaper bag is a great place to stash his Doctor's Business Card as well as lost and found information.

These early days are just about feeding and sleeping. But he is going to have the cutest drool and spit with this dino set. Are late night feedings any easier or better if you have cute accesories? I think so:)
 |
| Bibs and Burp Cloth |
 |
| Paci Keeper |
Clip on one end attachs to the bib or his outfit and elastic on the other end keeps the paci from falling. I tried to make it versitle since I didn't know what his paci preference would be.
 |
| Paci Pocket |
And my sister can stash a couple extras in her paci pocket attached to the outside of the diaper bag. An extra paci is always close at hand.
No doubt that they are going to be GREAT parents.
EVERYONE deserves to be equiped for greatness!

ReplyDeleteI "Like" you! But I think you already knew that! : )
ReplyDeleteRachel, what a sweet offer! I "like" your page and shared it so that others can like it too! My tip - every time you sit down to nurse, drink a full glass of water! Must-have item - baby wrap to wear your baby. God's blessings! Kris
ReplyDeleteI liked you on facebook and a must have baby item for new parents...Johnson's head to toe baby wash.
ReplyDeleteThis is my 2nd attempt to try and post a comment. First, congrats to the new parents! He is so precious and loved by many! Welcome Jackson! Secondly, if I could "love" your Facebook page I would but I do already like it. Now as for advice.... I'll be a new parent as well in just a few weeks, so I'll pass along information that was given to me with regards to breaking bad habits. Don't focus on the habit but look deeper into perhaps why they have this new bad habit. Self soothing or boredom? Replace the habit with an incentive and keep in perspective that many times the habit will, without intervention, stop on its own.
ReplyDelete"Liked" you since I found out you made the luggage tags and crayon holders (which travels to church every Suday with us) for your sisters wedding! My parenting tip/advice for the new parents would be make sure you have time for yourself and your spouse! (note to Becky: any day you want, we will babysit while you make a trip to the wineries with Adam!) Must need baby item: Extra clothes for the car/diaper bag for those uh-oh moments!! Cant wait to meet baby Jack and looking forward to purchasing some items from the shop for my baby #4 on the way!!
ReplyDeleteAlready like you! So excited for my college roomie! Best tip, sleep when you can! My favorite baby item has been my Becco carrier!
ReplyDeleteAlready "Liked" your FB page. My tip - If you have offers of help - take the person up on it! It is very hard for a first time mom to "give up" the baby, but to have some time out of the house with hubby can be good for both mom and baby. Also, If mom isn't happy, then baby isn't happy. Rest when baby is resting. Don't worry about cleaning as much, if any one comes over to visit, they will understand (if they don't, then they obviously don't have kids!) that the house isn't as clean as you normally would keep it. God's Blessings on your new little one!
ReplyDeleteRachel- you know I like you on facebook and all the time. I have given numerous baby sets and note pads as gifts. The diaper keepers seem to be a real hit and would have been nice 30 years ago, but I was using cloth diapers for you and your sister Becky. My advice to both of you is to spend as much time as you can with your little one as they go off to school and other states and don't have as much time to spend with you.
