Quite a few people emailed me after seeing Piper’s photo in Saturday’s post, for the bouncer chair and blanket info in the photo. I LOVE both if these!!

The chair is the BABYBJÖRN BabySitter Balance. I’ve had a number of bouncy chairs and this is BY FAR my favorite! A good friend passed it down to us and I couldn’t be more thankful!

The blanket is a Aden & Anais Muslin Swaddling Blanket I really, really love these! They are HUGE and fabulous for swaddling. My kids have...

People ask me all the time about what I can’t live without for the babies. And I’m not really sure that there are just a couple…that’s why I have the Baby Favorites Gallery. But there are definitely a few things that my sleep deprived brain is so thankful for!

Gina Ford is my hero. She wrote a series of books starting with The Contented Little Baby: The Simple Secrets of Calm, Confident Parenting. When we had our first baby, I thought I knew it all. I mean I had been babysitting since...

Our family was given an AMAZING gift from so many of our friends! One Fab Friend in particular offered to organize a few dinners for us for after Piper was born. I loved the idea, but didn’t really think we would need THAT many dinners! Maybe a couple weeks worth at the most.

HAAAAAA, HAAAAAA, HAAAAAAAAAAA! I was sooo clueless! As my sweet Fab Friend’s email to everyone said,

“Baby Coady #3 is only a month away and as many of you know 2 babies = HARD….3 babies = CRAZY MIND NUMBING HARD!”

Oh she...

Even when life is crazy, and you’re not sure how you will survive, for me I look at my Littles and am so thankful for each of them. That’s not to say that they are perfect and that every minute is easy, but it is to say that they make my heart smile!

For my birthday last year, Addie (and Dada) gave me a sweet little necklace with Addie’s name. Then when Hayden was born a couple of weeks later, they gave me a tag with Hayden’s name on it. Now I know there are a few different Mother’s Necklaces...

OK, baby is here, I’m still at the hospital, but I can assure you that I’m DREAMING of, (longing, salivating, DYING) to get my pre-3-year-pregnant body back!!! I’m no fool, I know it will take some time (even if hubby is hoping it will be back by Monday…), but get it back I will!

But I have a secret, (though not so secret when you publish it in a blog read by thousands…)

I am IN LOVE WITH YUMMIE TUMMIE shapewear!

I found this amazing line through yummie tummie for mummie, er, mummy!
