Organized Much - Itzbeen Baby Care Timer :)

While most mother's would just go with the flow. Im really big on having things written down and kind of having a routine when it comes to keeping my day organized. With babies, there's no telling what will happen NEXT (lol) But I still went ahead and got the Itzbeen Baby Care Timer. I already know It'll be my right hand for the first few weeks/months of motherhood for ME.







The Itzbeen comes with different timers. For example in the picture you see a diaper icon, a bottle icon, a snooze icon and an asterich icon. (pretty self explanatory) Each one of the timers will show you how long it has been since the last task you've done. So the last time you changed his/her diaper, last time you feed your baby, last time they were awake or sleep. Then you have the asterich icon which you can use for any other task you may have done that day that isn't already listed.

If you're planning to breastfeed (like myself) or already breastfeeding. on the Itzbeen timer you will see an icon of a woman breastfeeding her baby with a L and R switch. It helps you to remember which breast your baby feed on.


I don't have short-term memory loss. I promise! (lol) But, with a newborn I've seen it for myself how HECTIC things can get and my mind is ALWAYS doing 10,000 things at once. So I think a few timers will help me out til I get the swing of things. I know how overwhelmed I can get when it comes to multi-tasking. (lol)


You can get the Itzbeen timers in Babies R us ONLY, regular Toys R us stores don't have this device, WalMart, & I think Target may have them. Their 24 dollars. Very small, and it comes with a clip so you can clip it onto your clothes, your stroller wherever need be.

I hope this was helpful. & If you have a friend who's expecting. This would make the perfect Baby Shower gift :)

Donovian's Baby Shower =D

How many Jelly Beans do you think is in the bottle? (lol) this was a door prize game I had my guest play when they first got to the shower. At the end we picked from a bowl of names and whoever was close to the actual number of Jelly beans got a prize! :)



There were 175 Jelly Beans in the bottle :)


I had soo much fun! All of my close friends and family were there. We played some really fun games. First game we played was the Baby Animal game. It's like scramble, you had to unscramble the words of baby animals. It was really hard! lol! But, there was a winner. We played A musical chair like game where you had to toss a Diaper with a melted almond joy in it until the music stops (self explantory, but yeah you get the idea) lol! & The last game we played was where everyone had to measure my belly using tiolet tissue. Whoever had the LEAST toilet tissue left goin around my belly won. -You'll see a few pictures of that in my video.

"Why did you have two Baby Shower cakes" - Where it was made.

(lol) Sadly knowing my temper and what-not. I would usually respond "why does it matter" - Which I still feel that way. Why would it matter if I had 10 babyshower cakes? It's MY babyshower and nobody else is paying for it. So uh-helloo!!?


Anywho! (lol) The first cake I wanted was the Polo Cake. Because It was soo cute It was already said we we're just going to freeze it until Donovian's first birthday party. Or at least freeze the booties & Just let a selected few get to taste that one. So yeah, that's that. We actually ended up cutting it. Well just the hat part of the cake. Im still going to freeze the booties for him. :)





The second cake, was the cake that we agreed could be demolished at the shower. (lol) & That it was.


Cake Info:
Alot of people wanted to know where I got my Polo Cake made. IF your on facebook look up 'CEO custom cakes' If you live in Georgia, her shop is on Camp creek. She also has a twitter @ceocustomcakes :) The phone number to her shop is (404) 795-1403.

32 Weeks & Swollen! LOL



Hey guysss!

I now weigh a whopping 207lbs! As you can see in the pictures I have swelled up quite a bit. My Dr. office advised, MORE water. (Go figure) My body is retaining alot of fluid. But this isn't anything NEW. You put on a good amount of weight when you're carrying two <3 (well, I'am lol)

- My appts are STILL every 2 weeks. Well, until I hit the 35 week mark that is. Then I'll be visiting EVERY week until my babyboy is hereeeee :)) I have been experiencing braxton hicks quite a bit too =/. Sleeping is STILL soooo uncomfortable =/ (lol) luckily It won't be too much longer before I can finally sleep how I want (YAY).


My babyboy's heartbeat was a healthy 145 !!!! He's BEYONNDD active. I keep trying to catch him, but It's like he hears the lens on my camera and stops as soon as I start recording. lol! I've been feeling elbows, STRONGER kicks. Lots and lots of jabs though lol, you can actually see HIM move across my belly now <3 He's getting a lil' snug in there now. It catches me off guard everytime! lol!


Hope all is well!
sorry for the essay! :( (lol)

xoxo, Bunny
talk to you all in 2 weeks :)

30 Week Update!








YAY! almost there :)

If you watched my 28 week update video. You'll know since then I've been waiting for my results from my GTT (glucose tolerace test) to come back. Everything was good! My visits have gone from every 4 week visits, to every 2 weeks. & starting from 35 weeks I'll be visiting my Dr's Office every week until the BIG day :)

I now weigh 200 lbs! So Im looking at 220 by the time Donovian is born. Im carrying another person with me, what to expect?!?! LOL His movements are ALL day now, he usually stops while Im eating (go figure) lol - only for 10 minutes or so then he's back at it. LOL At 28 weeks I was told to record his movements. Now, I just can't keep up! Last time I tried I could only record 10 kicks in 2 minutes. (using the babybump app) But It was really 26-30 kicks in under 3 minutes. Now? Hell, too many to count LOL - His heartbeat was perfect. We're in pretty good health. So im happy about that.

If you didn't get to see me drink that yucky stuff,the video is below! LOL
Talk to you all in 2 weeks (April 5th is my next appt) Which Is just a routine check-up, so I might just post a picture up. It's not til 35 weeks where I get my last and final test done. Which is the Group B Streptococcus test (test given to test for an intestinal bacteria) Then from there I'll be on stand-by til my lil man bust that bubble! LOL

xoxoxo

28 Week Update!

Sooo, the Glucose drink. I'll admit It was nasty. But it wasn't as BAD as I thought it was going to be. My mom recorded me drinking it, LMAO. So yeah, laugh at me if you want. But, It was really hard for me to keep it down. I now weigh, or should I say WE. lol 197 lbs. I took a tour and registered at the hospital where I'll be having Donovian. The place is PERFECT! Now, that Im in my last trimester I will be visiting my OB every 2 weeks & then of course it'll turn into every week until my babyboy is here :D


So now that I've finally taking the diabetes test. Im just waiting on results. Everything has been perfect so far. So, I pray my results come back within normal range. & In the video I recorded Novi's heartbeat! :)

Enjoy the video lol!
