What's in Kurt's diaper bag?



1 - Norwex Baby Hooded Towel Set: I don't have the whole set in his diaper bag; just the little face cloth.  I use the face cloth as a burp cloth because it's the perfect size and highly absorbent.
2 - Carter's Longsleeve Bodysuits, 4 pack: I couldn't find a link for the bodysuits with the mitt cuffs, but those are the ones we have (thanks Brandie) and love them!  These are so great because they prevent Kurt from scratching his face and help keep his hands warm.
3 - Zutano Chocolate Stripe Newborn Hat: my mom bought this hat for Kurt in the 3 month size and it's been our go-to item since day 1.  It fits his little 13.5" head perfectly!  :)
4 - California Baby Calendula Cream: the doctor mentioned that peeling skin is more common in babies born after their estimate due dates because they spent more time inside.  Although we just have to let it run it's course, this cream is very gentle and soothing and seems to help.  It also comes in a 4-ounce size.
5 - Bum Boosa Bamboo Baby Wipes: I don't even know where to begin with these wipes.  They're simply the best and I feel good using them on Kurt because they're pH balanced, alcohol-free, paraben-free, sulfate-free, chlorine-free, and smell absolutely amazing!
6 - aden + anais Organic Sky Blue Swaddle: we actually have a few aden + anais swaddles and a couple blankets.  They're all so cute and cozy... and their burpy bibs are pretty amazing too!
7 - California Baby Calming Shampoo & Bodywash: I don't think you could go wrong with any California Baby product!  We got a 2-ounce travel size bottle for the diaper bag, but they also sell the shampoo & bodywash in a gallon, half-gallon, 19-ounce, 17.5-ounce, and 8.5-ounce sizes.
8 - Timbuk2 Cookie Tote: last but not least the diaper bag!  I love all the compartments and the shoulder strap, which is a must for any diaper bag.  It's not too large or heavy; it has enough space for diapers, wipes, toys, bottles, blankets, etc and is definitely durable.  Oh, and I got it 50% off so it was a thrifty purchase!  :)

Nursery Furniture

I’m so happy with the furniture I picked out for the baby’s room!  Yes, I picked it out and Luke gladly gave his stamp of approval.  :)  We went with the Argington Bam collection and I just have to tell you why.  First, they used solid birch wood (and birch plywood), which is a hardwood.  Most nursery furniture today is made with softwoods, which tend to be less dense aka durable.  Not only will this furniture hold up against wear and tear better, but so will the environment because the wood was harvested from sustainably managed sources.   Also, they finished the furniture with stains, glues, etc that contain zero formaldehyde and are 100% non-toxic.  Did I mention that the bassinet and crib exceed all safety regulations?  Lastly, I like that the bassinet and crib heights are only 33.5”.   Since I’m only 5’2” lifting Baby in and out will be a breeze!

Thanks Mom and Dad for your help with the nursery furniture!
