wait whaaaaat? WHEN did you move???? You haven't posted anything about that. what did i miss xD ?? you bought a house??? ooooooh how lovely! Please do a House tour one day! would love to see it. lucky lucky people. Your baby is gonna be so happy here :)
The new place looks so amazing and cozy! Pregnancy looks so good on you, too! Cannot believe how fast time flew and its almost baby time! Wishing you and baby a safe and healthy delivery! xx
I feel you on the planning things out in your mind and thinking you can get it done because that is what you used to get done easily when you weren't pregnant.. Pregnancy brain is real and it bugged me so much because I was finishing up my studies and I constantly had to adjust my planning. Hang in there mama, a few more weeks and your precious little one will be in your arms and everything will be worht it! Also, you look fab pregnant and you have such a cute bump! Good luck with everything in the next couple of weeks ;).
Solly baby wrap is soooo worth it! I bought a used one and loved it so much! I sold it after my son was too heavy for it but now that I’m pregnant again, really contemplating getting one again! Lol. The dim light thing also sounds super convenient. I used a Himalayan salt lamp (which I loved, but was/is heavy and isn’t portable lmao) bc of it being such warm light and not being super disruptive of our sleep patterns for nursing and changing diapers at night! Also totally feel ya on the bassinets being so expensive. We had a crib but coslept up until recently (my son is about 2.5, and he just started sleeping in his room more full time but he still sneaks to our bed at some point every night lol) and with my son, I used the Swaddle Me (I think that was the brand??? Got it off amazon) deluxe cosleeper but it was a pain in the asssshhhh to get him in and out of for breastfeeding so I didn’t even really use it at night time. We ended up just totally cosleeping and I used the little cosleeper for just some of his naptimes throughout the day when he wasn’t in the carrier or in my arms/on the boob lol. I plan on getting a Snuggle Me lounger this time tho! They’re softer structured and seem so much better. I love the idea of the side car style bassinets but this mama just cannot afford the ones I want so I’m settling for a cosleeping lounger lmao. Also snaps in the beginning totally might not be a big deal. But once you’re home, you’re totally likely gonna want zippers! I have made it clear this time that I don’t want any buttons and only want zippers (my babe will be born in the fall tho so it’s a lil different I feel? Like you can totally get away with less clothes/less fuss over sleepers and such, where I’m prob gonna be using zip up sleepers as my kiddos uniform for a few weeks 😂) especially at night time tho, like I tried to do snaps at night and it was so frustrating and I’d end up waking up and realizing it was all jacked up and uneven lmao. It’s doable during daytime for sure, especially if the outfits cute and you HAVE TO HAVE IT (relatable) but I cannot be bothered this time around 😂 also for a nursery chair, we totally had an antique rocking chair, I thought it would be PERFECT but it actually was a bisshhhhh for nursing in lmao. It was so uncomfortable. We ended up buying a recliner instead 😂 cheaper than a glider, plus’s fluffier!!!
Victoria Zimmerman no problem! I love sharing whatever worked best for us! I know how helpful it can be to get (some) advice (some not so much lmao) or product recommendations so I love helping out other mamas whenever I can! I hope everything stays smooth sailing for ya mama! 🥰
The Solly is a fabric wrap that you essentially wrap snuggly around your body and then put your babe in that. I've heard they're good for newborns and small babies that like to be held nice and snug.
It is so frustrating to have mental energy and motivation and your body makes you slow down! I’ve faced the reality that I am useless after noon, so I get done what I can before lunch time and pretty much rest the day away (as much as possible with a toddler!)
I got a free glider on Facebook from a mom who didn’t need one anymore! Also I’m using the hatch baby nightlight from amazon which you can set lighting and sounds from your phone! Figured I’d share in case you wanted to look at those options! And then I just recovered the cushions myself!
My daughter slept in a pack n play (the kind with a removable bassinet) in our room when she was a newborn, so it's possible to get away with not buying a bassinet! We also used it for traveling and it worked just fine
I ended up settling on a travel crib with a bassinet attachment, which I'm happy with because we'll use the travel crib all the time over the next few years.
3rd trimester is so real, I felt the same way last summer leading up to my due date. You're doing great Mama! I intended to be minimal too, but ended up buying a lot of things towards the end of pregnancy i didnt plan on. We got the Babyletto Toco glider and love it! Although I wish we sprung for the Kiwi glider for those nights when you fall asleep with a congested baby on your chest.
Wait wait wait.... when did you and Michael buy and move into a house!?!!! Did I miss something??? I was so confused when you said “upstairs” at one point..and then I realized you’re not in your apartment and I was like “whhattt!?”
I’m glad I’m not the only pregnant person who is just like “I don’t feel good” all the time 😂 it’s the heat! You could get a playpen with a mattress and you can use it as a bassinet too!
I bought a secondhand Solly baby wrap for half the price on Facebook Marketplace! Definitely check there. I got lucky and it was the exact color I wanted and caught it quick after being posted. I'm excited to use mine in October. 😊
The fact that you put like a little "just so you know..." Like so people won't judge you in the comments is just a huge reminder of how judgemental people are on EVERYTHING when you're pregnant (/vegan/alive lol, basically always!!) Feww that's what we call haters gonna hate ;) you're glowing!!
Be a rebel! Cut off those tags! Maybe keep them somewhere (like wherever you're keeping manuals for all the baby stuff) in case you hand down the cover to someone else in the future.

Thank you! And oh my goodness I can't imagine being a student and being pregnant at the same time. You're a rock star for that!

All great points! I love having access to seasoned mamas such as yourself! Thanks 😘

what is the difference between the solly baby wrap and the others you got from your sister? :) you glowing, Victoria!
The Solly is a fabric wrap that you essentially wrap snuggly around your body and then put your babe in that. I've heard they're good for newborns and small babies that like to be held nice and snug.
Your house is gorgeous!
It’s probably too late now, but Amazon workers are striking on Prime Days this year. Just FYI.
Yeah I saw that. I ended up getting aloe vera and a night light from Amazon, but neither were on sale 🤷♀️

Nice! I got a nice little night light off of Amazon that I think will be perfect.

I'm on the hunt for a practical, comfy one that we'll actually want to spend time in. We'll settle on one and it'll be perfect.

Just recently 😊

I had my eye out for second hand solly wraps, but ended up just going for it and buying the one I wanted since there's so much I haven't had to buy.
Why are you not telling us that you moved or anything about it!?
Can we at least get a house tour soon!?
Love you!
I'll fill you all in soon. It just happened at the end of June so I'm still trying to get my sh*t together lol
You could get a packnplay for your bedroom 🤷🏼♀️ may not be what you want but it’ll work.
I ended up getting the light weight travel crib I wanted that had a bassinet attachment for when they're itty bitty.
Just buy a pack n play with a bassinet setting
Omg you moved?!?!?!

Haha gotta cover your bases online or someone will come for you 🙃
Honestly though, when did you move?? 😅
The end of June.
@@victoriazimmerman your new place looks awesome!! So happy and excited for you!!💗💗

Oh I'll definitely be cutting them off, I just didn't have scissors in that moment lol
Use a laundry basket instead!
