Baby Savannah - 2 Months!

 
 
Weight: We don't go to the doctor until Tuesday, but I'm thinking you are at the 11 pound mark!

Medical Issues: Just the acid reflux. You are taking a medicine for that 2x a day and it has helped SO much!

Sleep: You are sleeping so great sweet girl. Your daddy gives you your last bottle at 10PM and you are waking up around 5-5:30AM. No complaints here! 
Clothes: 0-3 months! I packed up your newborn clothes right around the 6 week mark. Your growing so fast!

Visitors: The regulars! aka our families. You even got to see Aunt Meg which was a real treat. 
Diet: 100% breastmilk! Thankfully we haven't had any issues where we've needed to supplement with formula.

Baby Gear Love: Baby Einstein DVD's (you sit in your bouncy seat and just kick your little legs and flail yours arms - sweetest thing EVER!), your Snugabunny swing, and your NEW activity mat from Grandmo that you are memorized by!
Crying: This has changed so much, thankfully! You typically only cry when your tired, hungry or have a dirty diaper.
Likes: You love being held and snuggled, your really liking your baths now (you just hate putting clothes on after!) and cruising in your stroller. Thankfully the weather is starting to  warm up so we can go to the park more on my last few weeks off of work!
Milestones: Baby dedication March 17th, your smiling now, sleeping through the night! 
Postpartum: Feeling pretty good, I had my 6 week check up and it was a great report! I'm still struggling to lose the last 10 pounds of baby weight. Other than that, feeling back to normal!

Baby Essentials - Month One!

Baby Essentials - Month One!

Baby Essentials - Month One! by kneal0503 


As a new mom, you learn about different products from your girlfriends - what worked and what didn't - so I definitely wanted to pass along the things we used and why we loved them so much! These are just a few of many that were MUST have's in our house during the first month Savannah Jane was here! 

Wubbanub - I mean these are the cutest pacifiers out there! Savannah Jane loves hers during the day (doesn't take it at night?!) She has a caterpillar and a pink dog. Not only are they adorable, but they are super easy to find when they fall out of her mouth.
Fisher-Price Snugabunny BouncerThis was a MUST have in our house the first few weeks Savannah was here. She was so little so she fit perfectly on this. It vibrates and plays lullabies or nature sounds. She still hangs out in it today!
Dr. Brown Natural Flow bottlesWe started out with the Phillips Avent bottles, but Savannah was experiencing lots and lots of gas. So we switched to Dr. Browns and have been so pleased! They totally reduce gas, spit up and overall fussiness after eating. Score! 
*PS They are really not as big of a pain to wash as everyone makes them out to be, promise!
Pampers Swaddlers - best diapers out there! (My opinion of course!)
Aveeno Baby - We have used just about all the different products they offer and love each and every one of them! SJ has sensitive skin - so these lightly scented or fragrance free products are perfect for her sweet skin.
Desitin - Another must have when SJ's hinney gets red!
Fisher Price Calming Waters Vibrating Tub - This was recommended to me by a fellow mommy friend and Savannah LOVES it! She just chills and is always calm and relaxed when bathing. The newborn sling is removable, so we will be able to use the tub until she transitions into the BIG tub. 
Kissy Kissy brand gowns - Literally she wore these every SINLGE night. When your getting up every 3 hours to feed your baby it makes life easier not having to snap all those darn buttons after a diaper change! Any minute saved for sleep in my book is worth it! They make them for boys as well.  

I will be posting our Month 2 Essentials next week to get back on track. I can't believe my sweet girl will be 2 months old this weekend! Where does time go?
