The Baby Chapter

I've been writing this post in my head over the last few months since our baby was born.

3 months now. 

3 short months ago he came into our lives and completed our family.

Each night when I wake up to feed my little guy these thoughts have been running through my head.

I felt like I finally needed to write them down.

It's anywhere from 2:00-3:30 am when we are up together. Just the two of us.

The house is silent and dark, aside from the soft glow from the lamp on my nightstand, and I sit in my bed staring at this incredibly beautiful face as he is breastfeeding. In these moments I am in awe. In awe that me and my husband created this little being. That he is ours. That these kids of ours have been entrusted to us to be taken care of, loved, and taught. 

I am in love. In love with my life and my family. Yes I am exhausted, and yes part of me wishes I could give in and close my eyes and go back to sleep, but the other part of me is screaming 'No! Stay awake and stare at him as long as you can!' 'Breathe in that baby smell!' 'Memorize this moment!'

You see, this little one is my last baby.

Mother's Day Giveaway Sponsored by HALO

Hello all, I have some exciting news!

A few weeks ago I posted a review here on my blog for a SwaddleSure swaddling pouch by HALO.
(You can check out my full review here).

Today I am excited to introduce you to the HALO SleepSack Swaddle. The SleepSack Swaddle is a great product that keeps your newborn all snug and wrapped with it's unique 3-way swaddle feature, hopefully helping them sleep better and longer!
Here is more about it from HALO:

"Many parents find themselves trying numerous different swaddle products to find that right match for their baby.  The HALO SleepSack Swaddle’s unique 3 way swaddle feature matches baby’s sleep style right from the start– swaddle arms in, arms out or hands-to-face.  As the swaddle adjusts to baby’s sleep style, baby is more likely to sleep well (meaning Mom and Dad can sleep too!).   The HALO SleepSack Swaddle is also the #1 choice by hospitals for safer infant sleep."

With Mother's Day on our minds, I have teamed up with HALO for a little giveaway.
One winner will receive not one, but two HALO SleepSack Swaddles. One to keep for themselves, and one to give to a mama friend in need!
But wait, there's more!

General Conference Review Game

* This post is about General Conference. We are members of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, (aka Mormons), General Conference is a world-wide conference held twice a year where we listen to talks given by the leaders of our church regarding Jesus Christ and our Heavenly Father, raising a family, serving others, etc.
It is for anyone and everyone who would like to listen.
You can find the videos of the speakers at lds.org.

So General Conference wasn't even a week ago and I feel like I have forgotten a majority of the talks and topics already.
That is, the talks I actually got to listen to.
Sitting through 4 sessions of conference with 3 kids at such varying ages means we hear maybe half of what is being said.
We have been able to get our kids to sit and listen to the morning sessions while doing a quiet activity, but even then there is still some talking and distractions going on.

That's kind of how this review game was born.

I realized even if we were getting a chance to watch all of the talks, I myself am not very good at remembering what they were all about.
