Baby Shower Celebration: Sponsor Spotlight: Undercover Mama

So far all of the products I have shared with you for the Baby Shower Celebration have been for the baby. How about something for mom this time. I was thrilled when Undercover Mama agreed to sponsor my event. I have seen the Undercover Mama shirt reviewed on other blogs and I love the thought of this ingenious shirt. 

I am convinced that breastfeeding is very important for babies. But I still feel very self conscious when I am out and about and need to nurse the baby. I am a very modest and very private person. I have a nursing cover that I use, but none of the girls have been very receptive of this silly cover over their heads. Besides, as the babies pull at the cover it is very common for my sides to be exposed. Enter, the Undercover Mama shirt:

Created by a mom who was frustrated with the lack of options for nursing wear:

"The Undercover Mama is a strapless camisole that attaches right to any nursing bra. Layer it under any shirt, keeping your style without having to invest in a whole new wardrobe of nursing shirts. Essentially, Undercover Mama easily transforms any shirt into a nursing shirt!

With two attachment options included with every shirt, Undercover Mama will work with any nursing bra...and you can continue to use it as an undershirt with your regular, non-nursing bras when you are finished breastfeeding."

The Undercover Mama is available in 7 different colors. You can purchase one for $24.99, and right now they are offering a quantity discount plus FREE SHIPPING if you order 2 or more shirts. 

You can find Undercover Mama on Facebook and Twitter

Thursday Blog Hopping: February 23, 2012

It's Thursday!!  I know I haven't done any blog hopping this week, but we only got home from the hospital on Monday night. And every time I get on the computer it has been exasperating this lovely headache I have gotten ever since having the c-section. So my computer time has been a tad bit limited. However, if you would like to do some blog hopping today head on over to my "Blog Hops" page to see the Thursday Blog Hops I have found.

Wordless Wednesday: February 22, 2012 (w/linky) Welcome Baby Harold

In case you haven't heard, Harold Edward III joined our family on Friday, February 17th 2012 at 7:43am via c-section. He weighed 7lbs 15.3 oz and was 20 3/4 inches long. We are so excited to welcome our newest blessing. The girls love their little brother (in fact if you want to see what Amelia did Saturday morning head on over and check out my Tiny Talk Tuesday post)

Presenting Harold Edward III (otherwise known as Harold Junior Junior):

Amelia had been promised she would be the first to hold her baby brother.

Steven surprised me with this cake:

It has tiny babies to represent all of our children (my 3, Harold's 4 and our 4 together), plus little baby bottles all around.

Getting ready to go home:

Tiny Talk Tuesday: February 21, 2012

 Tiny Talk Tuesday is now being hosted by Kelly over at In Everything
Well, our special little boy is here!! Harold Edward III (also known as Harold Junior Junior) joined us via c-section on Friday February 17th.  The children were told that they would get to come and visit on Saturday. This is what daddy told me happened on Saturday morning.  Amelia came into our bedroom fully dressed except for her shoes, woke daddy up, stated she had made and eaten her own waffle breakfast and gave daddy some clothes. Then she said, "I'm ready to go see baby Harold."
They came to visit mommy in the hospital a couple more times. While they were there the last time I was changing his diaper. Amelia looked over and said, "What’s that coming out of his butt?” After an uncomfortable pause I told her it was his...well...penis.

Today she was looking at him and said, "He looks so much cute."

I guess daddy was picking on his mom, who is down helping with the children, a little while ago and Tabitha told him, "If you pick on her one more time, I'm going to call her your grandma."

Hannah's vocabulary is growing quite fast now. It was so cute last week, we were going through a bag of clothes that had been given to us for Harold. We kept saying "Harold" as we pulled them out. Then suddenly Hannah piped up and said, "Har row."

Let's see, she also says, "cor" for popcorn, "cree" or "cream" or "i cream" for ice cream, and ball for football and ball.

Baby Shower Celebration: Sponsor Spotlight: Woombie

As a parent of 7 children I know the importance of swaddling an infant. I have just never been able to get the hang of it. Yes, after 6 older children and one newborn, I am not able to perfectly swaddle a baby. 

The creator of Woombie, who happens to be an RN, searched for a way to make a swaddle that would not come unraveled and would keep a baby from overheating, but at the same time allow a baby to stretch. The Woombie was born in December of 2007.

Here is a quote from their website:

"Parents love The WOOMbie because of its easy IN/OUT design, stay put zipper which will not open or unravel and its unique 4 way stretch material. In a nut-shell, the WOOMbie helps to maintain the comfort levels of both baby and parent, easing undue stress and promoting a more  peaceful environment, which is greatly, greatly needed and appreciated during the first few months  of life during transition from the womb."

    

They have expanded their products to include variations of the original Woombie, plus Eco Cushions, Blankets, Hats, CozyDry Towels, Mox Mittens and more.

They state:

"We are Environmentally conscious, as all of our products are manufactured in an eco-friendly factory and manner. No harsh chemicals, no flame retardants. We practice strict compliance per CPSIA standards.  Strict safety testing using CPSIA standards and testing in a CPSIA third party accredited  testing facility are top priority."

Head over to their site to check out all their great products.
