Puj Hug Review

I was given the opportunity to test another product from the company, Puj. I absolutely love their baby bath tub, the Puj tub pujbaby.com. Now they make the Puj Hug and Puj big Hug, hooded hands-free towels. I think the towel is a great idea. I only have a few complaints. First, the towel I was given didn't seem like it was very good quality. Some of the towel was frayed and I though the stitching looked a little sloppy. Honestly, their products are good quality, so maybe this was just a fluke. Next, I thought the size of the towel was too small, even for a newborn- it covered her body but I wish it was just a little bigger. Lastly, I feel like the price of the towel $35.00 is pretty steep. Unless you can afford to splurge, than I wouldn't recommend this over most hooded towels I've seen. There are several good things about this towel though. Unlike a lot of store bought towels, this towel was very absorbent. I love the fact that you can wear it around your neck, making it a lot easier to lift your baby out of the tub. I also really like that it has a tab to hang it up.  Really, if the price was lowered and the towel was slightly larger, this towel would be an absolute must-have for any parent.

(notice the happy baby in the puj tub)

Cute packaging that flips open so you can feel the towel

Just put the tabs around your neck and pick up your baby

Babies don't like be taken out of a warm bath!

Hang the towel up to dry!

September: a month of surprises

It's a little scary when I think about how fast time is flying by. I celebrated my 25th birthday last month and I still find it hard to believe, that me, the baby of the family is that old! Crazy. On my actual birthday, Jordan and I had some meetings to go to, so we had a family dinner and decided to celebrate on the weekend. Mike and Dejah watched the girls for us and we went out to eat and did a little shopping. It's always a BIG treat to go on a date, just the two of us. Sometimes I feel like we have to try really hard to have a conversation when the kids are around because it is just so loud. I love being out with just my husband.
    All month long we had been waiting for the anatomy ultrasound. I think everyone figured we were having a boy since this pregnancy has been incredibly different than the first two. I felt like it was a boy. My doctor even said she thought it was a boy (when they did an early ultrasound), so I just assumed that was the baby's gender. We were in the office for less than a minute when the doctor asked "Do you want to know the gender?" "yes!" then... "It's a girl!" I think we were a little shocked and we just kind of laughed. It still hasn't really sunk in. This baby sure had us fooled! Luckily, we make cute, funny, happy, crazy, smart, amazing little girls...so we are happy another one will be joining our family. I'm confident we will have sons one day- gotta fill that hole in my heart =)
We decided this baby's name will be Andie/Andy/ We are still working on the middle name...well narrowing it down between two.
   On Saturday, my sister Arwen took me out for a pedicure for my birthday gift, and when we came home I was greeted with a surprise party!! It was awesome. I have never been thrown a surprise party before! This was the best time to do it to because I had several clues to figure out what they were up to but I guess my pregnancy brain made sure I was oblivious to everything. I do have to say I'm proud of everyone for keeping it a secret because, I am really very sneaky at finding things out. Ha!
 It was a great month, even though it flew by. I love my family so much. It met a lot that they did that for me and I even had a pinata, yes, at 25 I still wanted one.

I want to win!

I don't normally blog about contests, but I really want to win this pack and play. We really need one since February isn't too far away and this baby will be sleeping and getting changed in our room.  The cute blog, 4 Men 1 Lady is giving away the Breeze play yard. this pack and play looks so awesome.  You only have to push a button and it's all set up...hence the name Breeze! It's also a changing station and a bassinet...perfect. I think we should win!

Puj Snug

We had the opportunity to be product testers for this awesome company, Puj. They recently came out with a spout cover for the bathtub- something every parent should have to prevent injuries in the tub. The Puj Snug comes in three colors, Aqua, Kiwi, and White. The girls loved the fact that it was an elephant and loved the softness of it. One thing I really like about the design is that it is cute but it is subtle enough that the girls don't think it's a toy. The cover comes off easily, but we keep ours on all of the time because it is designed so that we can switch the faucet to either a bath or a shower without always having to take it on and off. It is a simple product, but a great product. For more information on this company and their products, check out the link below.

Already In Love

I love being a mom. There are so many great things about it.  Seeing this sweet little baby fills me with so many different emotions. All good ones of course. 12 weeks in and it's amazing how much I love this little squishy. We found out I was pregnant the week of Father's day. I was feeling pretty sick even before I took a pregnancy test. That same sick feeling has lasted these last 12 weeks. I think I officially am out of foods I can eat that I haven't thrown up. It's all worth it though. Jordan has been awesome and really has stepped up taking care of the girls when I am lacking the ability to do so and family family that is always willing to help out is just and added bonus.  I had an ultrasound yesterday and got to watch baby move around for a little while. It was so cute! We are thrilled to meet this little baby and have our little family grow by another adorable, amazing child.

A Sweet Little Moment

We have been having a family prayer every night. Kennedy is usually really eager to say the prayer and is understanding what she should include but Harley usually lets go of our hands and babbles during the prayer. Tonight however, was different...it was special. We told the girls to come say a prayer and Harley says "hands" and reaches for mine. Then she bowed her head and said her own little prayer which included Jesus and amen. It was all we could understand and it was short but it was one of the best moments of parenthood so far. I guess our trying to make it a habit has paid off. She is such a sweet girl.
