Pregnancy & the first year with a baby are one of the sweetest things in life, but also one of the hardest, yet rewarding things as well. A lot has changed since I had Connor 9 1/2 years ago! I’m constantly discovering new products and saying to myself “Well they didn’t have this ten years ago!”
I love being a Mom and the last seven weeks with our new baby Heidi have had many ups and many downs. Connor started his first day of school today and we are finding our new routine. The days of lazily laying in bed reading a book are over for now, but I know that this season doesn’t last forever. I’ve been through it before and looking back it does go by so fast. Of course in the midst of the sleepless nights and crying it seems to be super slow.
You all know how much I love BabbleBoxx and getting to try all the new products and share with YOU! There are some fantastic things for expecting Moms & new Mamas. I was recently sent a BabbleBoxx to try out and use with Heidi.
This box included all of these great items:
My pregnancy with Heidi was really good except for nausea in the beginning and a ton of extra amniotic fluid towards the end. If you know me you know I can’t stand to throw up. I will absolutely do ANYTHING to prevent it. These Ginger Chews from Prince of Peace are definitely something I would give an expectant Mother. I was constantly eating and drinking things with ginger in them to curb the nausea…and you know what…IT WORKS! These chewy treats are easy to carry on the go in your purse or bag for whenever nausea hits. I really loved the taste of the new tropical Ginger Chew with Mango. Ginger has been used for thousands of years in many cultures as a food, as well as a natural remedy. Ginger contains numerous anti-inflammatory and antioxidant compounds beneficial to your health. Ginger also supports digestion and can bring comfort to the stomach, especially during pregnancy.
This next product I am OBSESSED with! I love this Soothie Snuggle! The Philips Avent Soothie Snuggle combines a plush toy with a Philips Avent Soothie. Heidi has been using this every day since we received it. Let me just say don’t give your baby a pacifier unless you want to stick it back in 5 million times a day. Heidi loves grabbing onto the monkey and it’s easier for her to find, hold, and love her pacifier. She can even stick it back in most of the time! I also love that the pacifier is detachable to make cleaning simple. There is a sealed weight sewn inside the end of each limb that stabilizes the plush toy.
We also love the Philips Avent Natural baby bottle. We use these exact bottles already, as they are what works for us. I’m exclusively pumping right now and our fridge is half full of these Avent bottles. They wash and wear great too! The ultra-soft, breast-shaped nipple encourages a natural latch and feels just like mom. We love the air flex valve that helps reduce feeding issues such as gas and colic.
I thought this Medipro Baby First Aid Pod from Me4Kidz was super cool! Can I just tell you how many times I’ve been asked “Mom do you have a band-aid?” This kit has so much more than just band-aids. It has 105 items to keep you prepared with all your basic first aid needs. These neatly organized pods can size down when you are wanting a smaller first aid kit & easy to store in your car or on the go.

As an “advanced age” Mother this go-around I’m always moisturizing my skin and trying to keep it healthy. This Anti-Aging Vichy LiftActiv Peptide-C Anti-Aging Moisturizer feels and smells amazing! It goes on super smooth and helps correct multiple signs of aging including wrinkles, dull skin, loss of contour definition and loss of firmness. Vichy’s LiftActiv Peptide-C is a paraben-free anti-aging moisturizer that helps to correct the visible signs of collagen loss

I have been wearing this Playtex Nursing Bra & Maternity Panties from Hanes this week. They are super comfy and soft. The bra makes it easier for me to pump often and the panties are the softest cotton. The bra has a QuickStrap® making it easy to open and nurse anytime. It’s also specifically designed to fit comfortably under the belly & flexes to fit as your body changes.
Thank you Babble Box for all these fun products as we adventure through this first year with baby! We love them all & are excited to use them 🙂
