Are These Swaddling Blankets the New Black??

Yep. They sure are and now I know why!!! I have to confess that I'm kind of a baby/stroller stalker...not in a creepy way, but when I lived at the beach (we moved in June) and would walk along the strand every day, I would check out strollers, babies, etc. And I would see these muslin baby blankets everywhere. They are Aden & Anais Muslin Baby Wraps and they are perfect! I got a couple at my shower and I am in love with them! So soft and perfect for swaddling (we practiced on the pups!). They are light and also can be used to cover up while nursing, as a sun shield, as a burp cloth, basically they can be used for almost anything!!! I love the colors and prints! Darling! So here is some insider info: Babies R Us and Target both sell a version of these...but they are not as big and soft and when I feel both to compare them-I would rather spend the extra $ and get the better quality...but that's just me :) They are sold in just about every baby boutique and you can find them online too. A "Yummy Mummy" must have!

2 Months to go!!!!

Wow-is time flying for everyone else or just me?? I have about 2 months left to get ready for this little sweetie to make his debut and it has hit me like a ton a bricks! I am slowing down w/ the maternity shopping bc I realized that I don't have that much time left (thank goodness-I'm ready to wear normal people clothes again!). But there are a few staples that have been very good to me throughout this pregnancy and I wanted to give one in particular a shout out: Gap Maternity Basic Leggings. These are the most comfy maternity leggings out there. Ive tried them all and some, while comfy, tend to fall down throughout the day giving a not so cute "saggy crotch" look. Others dig into my sides(sides is a nicer word for fat). And some are just the wrong material/length/etc. The Basic Leggings are nice and comfy and cheap! Twenty six bucks a pop! Not too bad at all and if you are open to different colors, the blue-ish and purple-ish color are on sale. Gap Maternity has online sales all the time-so I think I even got my black ones for cheaper than $26! LOVE, LOVE,LOVE!
