Love to Dream

Just recently, I started using the Swaddle Up from Love to Dream for Evelyn, and her and I are both big fans! I love how cute it is, and that it truly works to help her self soothe and stay asleep in both her crib and bassinet.

Unlike traditional swaddles, the Swaddle Up allows baby to keep their arms up by their head/face which is not only a more natural position, but it also allows them the opportunity to use self soothing techniques like sucking on their fists. The snug fit helps calm the startle reflex and helps baby feel secure so they can fall asleep faster and sleep for longer intervals. Also, one of my favorite features is the two-way zipper so that middle of the night diaper changes are fast and easy.

Love to Dream also makes a selection of transitional swaddles, sleep suits, and sleep bags for baby as they get older and bigger, and we are so excited to try the whole line! Click here to shop for the best and easiest swaddle ever, and as always please don’t hesitate to reach out to me with any questions!

Two Months With Evelyn

Two months down with our little Evelyn, and I can’t even believe how fast time is flying! My little sweet potato is growing like crazy! She is 10 lbs 5 ounces, 20.25 inches long, and is wearing 3 month clothes and size 1 diapers. This month she has started to become way more aware of her world, and woke up one morning a few weeks ago greeting us with all the smiles! This is my third time, and I still get giddy over baby smiles, I think they’re just the sweetest!

A few days after turning 1 month Evy celebrated her 2nd first holiday, St. Patrick’s Day! We got her all dressed in her green, but she wasn’t very impressed...

The next day, we finally did some newborn pictures! (I like to wait to do pics at 1-month because my little Oompa Loompas always have jaundice, so by 4 weeks old they usually look a lot less yellow.)

We spent a lot of time just snuggling this month, and it was just the best! I know I will miss the cuddles when she’s too busy for me, so I am soaking it all in!

Miss Evy also decided to go on a nursing strike this month, so she is now almost completely bottle fed. I already miss nursing her, but she is thriving on bottles and finally going 2-3 hours between feeds instead of every hour, so I know it’s better for us both!

We ended the month with Evy’s first Easter! It was a wonderful, relaxing day, and we finally got our first picture as a party of 5! I love this little family of mine so much! :)

The day after Easter, Brian went back to work after being home for a glorious 7 weeks! I was so nervous to take on 24 hours of the girls by myself, but we made it through! Baylee has been the biggest help on days when Brian is on shift! I just love watching the bond between her and Evelyn grow every day!

Miss Evy you belong here more than you will ever know! I can’t imagine life without your sweet face! Mommy loves you my little 2 month old!
