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! :)
baby shower #3
My sister flew in from New York a couple weeks ago to meet baby Kurt and while she was here, she and my mom threw the three of us a baby shower! It was big day full of family, friends, and neighbors all eager to meet the little bundle. We had a great time visiting with everyone and couldn't have asked for a more special day. Baby Kurt is enjoying all his new presents and wanted to make sure his mom remembered to blog about it. :) Thank you to everyone who made the trip to come see us!
Happy Birthday Mom!

baby shower #2
Three weeks ago, my sister-in-law and mother-in-law threw me and the baby a shower. :) I didn't have time to blog about it right away, but wanted to acknowledge the special day they planned for us nonetheless. I hadn't seen Luke's extended family in quite awhile so I was happy that almost everyone was able to make it. This baby is loved already and I'm so excited for you'll to meet him or her! Thank you to everyone that was able to come!
french toast day
Today, my mom and dad surprised Luke and me with a mid-morning visit. Even though we were already out of bed, we were still bumming around in our cozy clothes and not expecting a visit. This was all part of their plan considering they had one objective in mind... a Kidnap Breakfast. In my opinion it was a success! They took us to jonnie beans and I was thoroughly satisfied with their raspberry french toast and wild rice sausage links. So satisfied in fact that I went back for lunch for some more. :) I'm pregnant so I can get away with things like this.
baby shower
Thank you to my mom and all my friends who came to my baby shower last night. I am so grateful to have you all in my life! :) Also, a very special thank you to Amy and Nicole who did all the party planning. Luke and I got some really cool gear for the baby and are excited for him or her to get here so we can test it out!
