I can't believe I forgot to post this..... Here goes...

Baby Adam,

One year ago, today, my life changed dramatically.  It was the day I found out that you would be joining our family.  It was the beginning of our new life, knowing we would have a family in about 9 months.  We didn't know who you would be or what you would look like, but we loved you so much already!  No words can explain the way I felt when I found out I was going to be a mother.  It was the most amazing feeling in the world.  Thanks for making our lives so much better, baby boy.  We love you more than we could have ever imagined.

Love forever and always,
Your Mommy & Daddy

Questions for Mama's

I have a few questions for any of you Mama's out there who would be willing to help me out!

1.  When did you start feeding your child foods other than formula or breast milk?
2.  What did you first feed them?
3.  When did you start on fruits and veggies?  What kinds?
4.  When did your child start sleeping through the night? More than 8 hours....
5.  Anything you recommend when moving towards solids?
6.  When did you start to get on a schedule with naps, feeding and bedtime? How?

Thanks so much! I'm sure I'll have more questions eventually, but this is a good start!

Pump Recommendations

I've been trying to decide on a breast pump to buy, but I have no idea which one to go with.  So far I've looked at the:

Avent - ISIS iQ Duo Electric Breast Pump, BPA Free

&

Medela Pump In Style Breast Pump 

 They are both a bit pricey, but I like the features for the most part.  Still, I have no idea which one is better or if there is an even better pump for the money out there.  Do you have any recommendations or suggestions!?!?!  I am so lost!

Thanks!

Help!

I need your help!  What are your suggestions on all things babies? 

I'm talking:

carseat
stroller
jogger
cloth dipers
bottles
baby wearing slings

Everything!

I'm new at all of this and I'd love to hear your favorites and not so favorites.

Baby Neenah

A few weeks back, I talked about meeting our friend's, Nick & Katie's, new baby girl, Neenah Noelle.  Well, I finally have a few pictures to show you!!!

 

Isn't she adorable???  (yeah yeah yeah, I know it's kind of hard to see her clearly)  Hubby looks quite nice with a little girl in his arms :-) We'll have to get working on that in the next year or so :-)

P.S.  That shirt in the last picture makes me look like I have a huge stomach (or that I'm pregnant) and I wanted to let you all know that it's just the shirt! :-)
