A Few Of My Favorite Things...

Some things I can’t live without…

My Moby Wrap
Best. Invention. Ever. I love it. Mom gets to have her hands free. She loves it. Bron gets to be next to Mom. Both of us are happy campers.
Big Blankets
We got a ton of blankets as gifts and thank gaw. Because we use them all the time. Bronwyn is quickly comforted by swaddling her in aforementioned blankets.

Breast Pump
I would have gone crazy without a pump. Sometimes Bron doesn't feed every 2 hours but I'm ready to express milk. The pump has been a life saver and a comfort measure for me. Plus it has given me freedom early on to leave the house and let Kevin bottle feed her. It's especially handy during those 3 am feedings when Kevin can help out and feed her.

Organic Wool Nipple Pads
Never thought I'd type nipple pads in a blog anywhere but such is motherhood. It reduces you to talking about things like nipples and poopy diapers (just wait, I'll get around to it). But the ones I bought at Best Loved Baby in Tacoma are the best! They're so soft and the natural lanolin in them essentially means they're self-cleaning since lanolin is akin to soap.

Video Monitor
This is definitely one of the perks technology has to offer. It's hand-held and portable so I can keep an eye on Bronwyn from anywhere in the house. It's nice when she's asleep in her crib/cradle/etc and I want to go to the bathroom or get ready for the day.

The Backseat Mirror
Super handy for when I drive and want to see Miss B in the backseat. Is she asleep? Is she choking on her spit up? Is she looking at herself in the mirror again (yes she is)
