I promised a birth story, so here it goes. It really isn't that dramatic. We had a scheduled c-section for May 9th at noon and she was born at 12:15. I never felt a contraction or went into labor. I got an IV went into the operating room, got my spinal, and then she was born! This was my third surgery so there was a lot of scar tissue they had to get through, but other than that, it was … [Read more...]
Are you addicted to Pandora Radio like I am? I use Pandora on my iPad and at school for when I am there late grading papers. I love how you can type in what kind of music you like to listen to and "POOF" all of a sudden it is playing music that you wouldn't normally listen to but love! It is kind of like it is ready my mind. Now moms and dads everywhere can listen in with their little … [Read more...]
I have two kids in diapers. I just realized that this is the first time I have said that. I knew this day would come, and now I have to say that I do in fact have two kids in diapers. Hopefully soon I can go back to saying that I have one kid in diapers, but for now this is my reality. Having two kids in diapers can be exhausting. It can also be very expensive. While I am frugal and … [Read more...]

I am still in denial that baby girl is going to be here next week! I am so looking forward to not being pregnant ever again! Reality is starting to set in, however, because I haven't been getting much sleep lately. The lack of sleep for the first few months is something that I am not looking forward to. I am fortunate to be off from school for the summer, but still I do have a three year … [Read more...]
As we all know, babies are expensive. The first time around we made sure that the products we bought for our firstborn would work for any additional children we might decide to have to help defray costs. Our stroller is a grey/blue that works for boys and girls. Our car seats are black and are gender neutral, and our diaper bag is brown and would work again for either a boy or a girl. We … [Read more...]
I had another ultrasound yesterday to check on my growing fibroid so I got a lot of cute pictures of our little girl. I thought I would share some of them! I can't believe we will be seeing our little girl in less than 3 weeks. While it feels like I have been pregnant forever, these past couple of months have gone by quickly. I am not sure I am ready, … [Read more...]
I worried a lot my first pregnancy, this one has been a little easier. I don't worry about all the pains and aches. I generally know what to expect this time around. What I didn't expect was how much love I would have for my son. I didn't know that people could love something this much. What did you least expect when you were pregnant or a new Mom? We all have great stories to share, … [Read more...]
I had Spring Break this week (thank goodness) and wanted to switch our room with the kids' room. We live in a very small house with only two bedrooms and ours was the larger room. Since the kiddos need to share a room until we move, we wanted them to have the bigger space. I thought a week was plenty of time to do it... I guess I didn't account for my moody behavior and lack of … [Read more...]
I had to save my favorite baby item for last! What a wonderful couple of months we had here at A Mom's Impression. I loved bringing all of these wonderful baby items to you with amazing giveaways as well. All of these products are going to make welcoming baby girl in May so much easier. I do have a couple of more products that I will share this month, but for my grand finale, I am bringing … [Read more...]
