THIS PRODUCT!
Why you ask?
It might just be one of the best baby products ever invented, thats why!
Isaac is now 2 months old and still likes to wake up to eat every hour and a half to two hours. When he gets a bath with the Johnson’s Bedtime Bath soap and then gets covered in the bedtimie bath lotion he sleeps for about four and a half to five hours! Yes, you heard me right. He sleeps for a full 3 hours longer. The lotion bottle says on the front that it’s “Clinically proven to help babies sleep better” and they aren’t lying. Not to mention it smells amazing. If you are a mom of a baby who still does not sleep through the night I recommend you giving this line of products a try at their next bath.
When Isaac gets older and stops using this lotion, I am going to have to make a candle that smells just like it, I believe it has become my favorite scent. It reminds me of both of my beautiful boys!
I wonder if it helps adults sleep better too? Hmmm
Today was the big day! I am now 22 weeks pregnant and we had our appointment at the Doctor for our sonogram.
First off, I want to start off with my feelings leading up to the appointment. I had a mixture of excitement and fear. I have discussed in previous posts that I have lost a lot of weight. Almost 30 pounds since I became pregnant. Most of it was weight I needed to get rid of! Up to this point I have not gained any of that back. The Doctor was not concerned about this but I was. I was scared that I was doing something wrong and when I go to the sonogram today they would tell me that the baby was under weight! My wonderful husband had tried to convince me that everything was going to be fine but it was hard to put those fears to rest. At the same time, I was excited to find out what we would be having. It is so hard to go in stores and see stuff you want but not know what color to buy! I am also tired of referring to the baby “it”. I was dealing with my anxiety this morning and actually ended up getting sick after eating lunch. It has been over a month since I’ve gotten sick! I knew that I needed to calm down and trust in God that everything was going to be ok!
We get to the Doctor and they called us back for the sonogram. The tech starts doing all the measurements and I’m just laying there thinking, wow, I can’t see anything on that screen! It looks like a bunch of black with an occasional white spot. She then told us that the baby was measuring a week farther along than my due date. It weighs 1lb 3oz which is big! My fears were wrong! The baby is just taking all my weight! Once I heard that I was able to relax a lot!
Finally she gets done with the not so fun parts and started to show us things. I kept feeling little movements and she said it looked like the baby had hiccups. That is one of the cutest things to me! We got to see a profile of the face and two little feet. It was amazing! Jordan was trying as hard as he could to see it but he told me later that he couldn’t see anything in those pictures. One day he will be able to! Then the Tech says, “Do you want to know what it is?” Chris and I both said YES!! She zoomed in on a section and said it is clear that this is a BOY!!
I have to be honest, I was a little disappointed, I really wanted a girl, but after about 2 seconds that passed and I started thinking about my baby boy! Jordan and Chris were so excited!
After printing us off 4 pictures we were done and ready to see the Doctor. I went to get weighed and I had gained three and a half pounds! Most women hate when the scale goes up but this was a good sign for me. At this point in my pregnancy I am suppose to gain about a pound a week. I was at the Doctor three weeks ago so I am right on track. My appetite has come back for the most part. I am eating every meal but my portions are NOTHING like what they use to be. I usually get kids meals everywhere we go and have trouble eating even that much!
Dr. Coulter-Smith came in and said everything looked GREAT! Both the baby and I are healthy! I go back in four weeks for the dreaded hour long glucose test. I pray it comes back negative because I REALLY don’t want to have to do the three hour one!
Thank you everyone for your prayers and congratulations! We are so blessed to have so many friends and family!
