Being a Mom, the Second Time Around Featuring mamaRoo Infant Seat

 photo IMG_3433.jpg
It’s true what they say…there is something special about your second baby. The second time around you allow yourself to see what you didn’t see with your first baby. You know how quickly babies grow up so you tell yourself to remember every little detail. Remember their soft squishy cheeks, their tight grip on your finger, their soft sweet sighs. Remember the first time they smile and the first time their eyes light up when they see you.

 

The second baby is your reminder that these days don’t last forever. That time isn’t on your side. A reminder to slow down and enjoy the little things.

Second babies are pure sweetness and joy wrapped up in a tiny little body.

 

It’s heartbreaking how quickly babies turn in to toddlers, then kids, then teenagers, isn’t it? But with that second baby you know this. You remind yourself frequently to bury your face in those chubby arm rolls, kiss that fuzzy head, and just hold that baby for hours. Because it doesn’t last forever. You blink, and it’s over.

When you have your first baby you are desperate for some time to yourself. If you are anything like me, you shed a few tears over the life you use to have…you wouldn’t change things for the world but you mourn the “old” you. The you that could stay out late and sleep in. The you that could eat whatever she wanted and take a nap when she felt like it. But with that second baby you know none of those things really matter. You don’t mourn your old self…you embrace the time you have with this sweet little baby…..a baby grows up so much more quickly then you ever could have imagined. Something that I wished I would have had with my first baby is the 4moms mamaRoo infant seat.

The mamaRoo infant seat has five unique motions to help soothe your baby. It’s the only infant seat that can replicate a parent’s natural moments. It moves up and down and sways side to side just like a parent does when soothing their baby. Sadie’s favorite motion is the Tree Swing. The mamaRoo infant seat weight limit is 25 pounds.

 

The mamaRoo would make a perfect gift for any first or second time mom-to-be who is looking for a way to ensure their baby is comforted and soothed the way only mommy knows best! Visit the 4moms website to learn more about the mamaRoo infant seat and check out their subscription site for more information.

    I'm expecting a little girl New Year's Eve and I didn't put the mamaRoo on my registry. But apparently my aunt bought one for her daughter to use with her son and he is like 3 or 4 now and she might let me use it. I'm crossing my fingers and hoping!

Thankfully our Scout Elf, Spike, showed up this morning with an @elfontheshelf official Scout Elf Carrier and an Elf Pets Official Carrier for our reindeer too! Now our North Pole pals can safely travel with us wherever we go! The kids had so much fun taking their pals on a winter walk to enjoy the snow! And see that cute little stowaway in Belle’s arms? Meet the Bogie – a brand new friend from the North Pole who is ready for some love and adventures! I just love enjoying all of these magical moments with my kids. It really does not get any better than this! #elfontheshelf #elfpets
#ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure yo #ad It’s that time of year! Time to make sure your child is up to date on their well-child visits and vaccines! As the chief advocate for my kids, I always want to make decisions that are the best for them and for our family. There isn’t anything I wouldn’t do for these little loves of mine, and I know all of you can relate! That is why I vaccinate my kids. Vaccinating your child is one of the safest and most effective things you can do to protect them against serious preventable diseases. If you live in Michigan like we do, it’s time to schedule that well-child visit and make sure your kids are up to date on their vaccinations! I’ve done a lot of research and talked to our pediatrician at length about what is best for my family and I would encourage you to do so too. It’s normal to have questions—it makes you a good parent! But make sure you are getting answers from credible sources. Remember, vaccines are safe, effective, and help protect everyone. Ultimately I decided to vaccinate my children because not doing so puts them at risk of contracting a potentially deadly disease. I want the best for my kids. If you have questions or need a reliable resource, check out @IVaccinateMI for information and tools based on real medical science and research to help Michigan parents protect their kids from vaccine-preventable diseases.
