I am officially three days overdue and waiting, waiting, waiting for this baby #3 to arrive! I know from my past births that you can prepare for the baby arriving but sometimes you forget to prepare for yourself AFTER the birth! I know with my first two, my husband was making many trips to the store when I needed items for myself!

But I feel much more prepared this time! I recently received a great Postpartum Kit from HelloFlo and I can't wait to use all the great items!

Most of the items in the kit are made by women-owned businesses. Naama Bloom, Helloflo’s founder, has called it the package she wishes she would’ve gotten when she came home from the hospital after having her kids.

I love that this box contains A LOT of natural and organic items which is so important to me including organic tea, organic Hard Candy, and organic lip balm.

Besides the great natural and organic products, they included so many USEFUL items like leak-free underwear, nursing pads and heavy pads...things I sometimes forget to stock up on right away after baby!

This kit is a great gift idea either for another expecting or new mom or as a push present for YOURSELF! It is so helpful and full of great surprises!

With the birth of my 3rd child happening any day, I am definitely going to need a good stroller and car seat combo and it is going to HAVE TO BE Easy-to-Use, Versatile, and Last for a long time.

I have found all those features in the new Omni 3-in-1 Travel System from Urbini. I absolutely LOVE how it allows me to take my new baby from infant to toddler years with one stroller. I love that my baby can rest easy in the detachable Petal Infant Car Seat or stay cozy in the built-in bassinet: they are interchangeable on the stroller! Plus, the stroller seat is reversible and will grow with my child because it can be rear-facing or forward-facing for children up to 35 lbs!

Little Me Baby Clothes

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

Believe or not, but my baby will be arriving any day now and I have been nesting like crazy to get ready for baby #3! My favorite job so far has been washing and putting away all the tiny baby clothes and picking out what my baby will wear for the first outfit!

Since we aren't telling the gender until after the baby is born, I can't tell you exactly what my baby will be wearing as their first outfit, but I can tell you it is AMAZINGLY CUTE and from a great online store called Little Me®.

At Little Me, they create unique clothing that celebrates those fleeting years when newborns transform into young toddlers. At the heart of Little Me is this time of exploring and delight—the magical years of discoverhood. Their products let little ones be little—whether they’re napping, throwing cereal on the floor or crawling through deliciously muddy grass.

They use fabrics like soft cotton, terrycloth and velour. They believe babies should always be comfortable, snuggly and safe, free to do what they do best: play, sleep and thrive.

Here are a couple of my favorite outfits from Little Me...whether you are having a girl, boy, or it's a surprise - they have it ALL!

For a first outfit or Take Me Home Set, I love these two: 

For a Little Girl: 

For A Little Boy: 

And for when you don't know the gender, I love this Gender Neutral footie: 

As you can tell, I found SO MANY CUTE, CUTE outfits for any gender, size, and baby! These clothes make the perfect baby shower gift, new baby gift, or guilty pleasure purchase for new parents and I highly recommend Little Me as the place to get them! 

Buy It: You can purchase all these outfits and so many more from the Little Me website.

Less than four weeks until Baby #3 is here!!! And, although I have to wait probably about 6 more months before I use it, I am really excited about my new Bentwood Highchair for my new baby!

It provides a beautiful, safe place for baby to eat during mealtime and I ABSOLUTELY LOVE THE Espresso wood color and that it isn't just all plastic parts like most highchairs!

It is the only highchair you will need from birth to 50lbs!!!

I love how small it folds up, especially with our small space right now! The wood finish complements any home décor and is so stylish. Plus, it is really easy to keep clean with a front adjustable tray with removable dishwasher safe tray!

Most of all, I love that this high chair will be with my child from the first feeding to up 50 lbs!! My children are so short that I know they will need to use it as the table booster!

• Infant insert is for newborn feeding only.
• Seat pad has a vinyl coating.
• Compact fold for easy storage.
• Can be used as a table booster for toddlers.

If you have a new baby in your house and want to give Dad a gift this Father's Day that will help him with those nighttime wakings and feedings he is doing and be a hero to you and the baby, check out these great gifts from Philips AVENT:

Saving the day (and night) -

Philips AVENT Nighttime Pacifier

Philips AVENT BPA free nighttime pacifiers soothe your baby and are made of odor-free silicone, which means baby is less likely to reject them. These pacifiers are for babies up to six months old.

Easy to sterilize and damage resistant, the pacifiers are a convenient solution for new parents. Their specially designed shape encourages healthy development of baby's teeth, palate, and gums.

When your little one gums the nighttime pacifier's collapsible nipple, the nipple will give way, respecting the shape of baby's palate and encouraging the natural development of your little one's teeth and gums, even when the pacifier is positioned upside down in the mouth.

My favorite part is the pacifier's ring handle glows in the dark, giving babies something to focus on as they drift off to dreamland--and making it easier for you locate a missing pacifier in the dark. (Strength and duration of glowing depends on lighting conditions.)

• Glow-in-the-dark security ring allows dads to locate pacifier in the dark without waking baby
• Collapsible nipple works with the natural development of a baby’s teeth and gums
• Durable, long-lasting and will not become misshapen or discolored over time

Buy It: You can purchase both these products from your local retailer.

B3 All-in-One Bra from Simple Wishes

A product was given for review for my honest opinion. No other compensation was given.

If you have ever pumped your breast milk whether on a regular basis or just when you need a little extra for a babysitter or night feed, you know how inconvenient it can be to whether at work or at home! Any mother with a new baby already has trouble juggling all the new responsibilities...you add in more children and it is just plain hard work!

That is why I am loving the new B3 All-in-One from Simple Wishes, the makers of the Signature Hands-Free Pumping Bra. This awesome bra affords moms the chance to nurse, pump hands-free or do both all at once to accommodate their breastfeeding needs and busy lifestyle!

It features the following benefits:

- Versatility: Multifunctional by design, moms can unlatch the nu rsing clip for full access or use the easy-access panel for hands-free pumping.

- Comfort: Made of ultra-soft material, it’s like a combination of your favorite sports bra and yoga bra, both supportive and shaping.

- Supportive: Designed to maximize skin-to-skin contact during nursing but strong enough to support for hands-free pumping.

- Maternity-friendly: Six rows of hook-and-eye in the back closure allows for 2” of additional rib cage expansion throughout pregnancy.

- The Perfect “10”: The bra distributes the weight of bottles and expressed milk between 10 strategic points.

The Simple Wishes B3 All-In-One Bra is really comfortable to wear and molds to your body and gives you support, comfort and convenience unlike anything you've experienced from a nursing bra before. This innovative bra is multi-functional - wear it while breastfeeding, hands-free pumping or both simultaneously!

I love the halter straps that help hold the pump in place - that was always one of my biggest problems when pumping with a bra on. I just never seem to have enough hands! The B3 All-in-One Bra solves that problem for me! And I love that I don't have to switch bras now just to pump. Before, I would wear my nursing bra to nurse my baby and then have to take it off, switch it to one that I can pump with and then switch back to the nursing bra for the future feeding for my baby. What a HASSLE! NEVER AGAIN with the B3 All-in-One Bra!

AND it is easy to take care of! Machine wash cold, gentle cycle, non-chlorine bleach when needed. Wash with like colors. Wash with back velcro panel attached. Hang to dry. Do not iron. Do not dry clean. Wash before wearing. 84% Nylon, 16% Spandex. Fabric Oeko-Tex Certified to be toxin free.

Buy It: You can purchase the B3 All-in-One Bra for $59 from Simple Wishes
