Loved

Mommy and Jellybean have been feeling very loved recently do to the influx of gifts they have been receiving recently. Mommy is so thankful to be able to have such wonderful people in her life to help her welcome Jellybean into the world.

Mommy learned from her mommy forum that contacting companies that specialize in baby products is a great way to receive free samples and coupons so Mommy decided to contact a few companies to see what she would get.

This pile is just some of the things she got from Medela, Lansinoh, MAM, an Dr Brown's. Among the items are a free bottle, pacifiers, breast pads, breast storage bags, and lotions & creams.


Mommy's friend Stephanie recently went away to Taiwan for vacation. While she was there she was nice enough to pick up a this adorable little giraffe puppet for Jellybean! She also got Mommy this tote bag for Christmas. Mommy can't wait to use it!


Mommy recently caught up with a high school friend, Jessica, who she had been out of touch with for a while. They met for lunch nearby and she surprised Mommy with a box of all kinds of baby essentials! Jellybean is all ready for his first bath with all different kinds of baby washes as well as lotions, wipes, sun tan lotion, and a travel kit with mini travel supplies for Jellybean.

Lastly Mommy's penpal Amy sent Mommy a little package with yummy healthy bars to eat and a wonderful butter lotion to help soothe itchiness and prevent stretch marks!
Amy, who is an amazing artist whose work Mommy adores, also included this sweet card and a beautiful doodle she did of Mommy, Jellybean, and Gus.

Mommy loves the little sketch and plans on framing it and hanging in Jellybean's bedroom.

Amy's work is so delicate and serene.

Lastly here are some more recent belly shots. Mommy isn't sure exactly when these were taken anymore but they most likely around 19 and 20 weeks.

Mommy thinks this is 20 weeks 3 days
