how i am getting by

So I am doing pretty well considering iver came early, i have no maternity leave and have two other crazy kids on my hands. I am getting by with a lot of help from family and friends and some great products.

I thought I would let you know what is making my life easier these days, in case you are wondering and care. I always appreciate a good tip so hopefully you will too.


My "taters" and I are enjoying supportive bras and camisoles from Bravado. I am also enjoying Momzelle nursing tops. I am a fan of the all black selections so that the nursing flap is more incognito. Plus black is slimming.

I can't get through the day without Supergoop's Pocketstick SPF 30 chapstick. Something about nursing makes me super parched. I am drinking lots of water and shellacking my lips up with Supergoop.

My daily diaper bag is a giant tote by Le Sport Sac. I find these to be so great to just toss in the washing machine, and since I still cart around diapers for the toddler plus all of the newborn stuff, I prefer to have one big bag. I am thinking of treating myself to a new style for the spring... still undecided on which one.

To keep the older kids busy when we are out, I make sure that I have TravelKiddy's on hand. They do the trick and if the girls get bored at all, I just switch their activity kits and voila! No more whining. Awesome!

Iver is loving to wear cozy bamboo coveralls and tees by Kicky Pants. We get ours at What Every Baby Needs which is local and online! Cannot wait for the new stock to arrive so we can stock up!


I wish my pre-pregnancy jeans fit. However other than that we are plugging along through the days, and sleeping pretty well through the nights. Stay tuned for a post about how I will deal with my first business meeting since I am exclusively breastfeeding! I promise it will be scintillating!
