MOMMY is Nesting!!

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Last week I washed and put away a load of baby boy clothes!  So ADORABLE.  It is so different going through boy clothes then the girl clothes with my daughter.  I can visually see some of the fun stuff we will have with our lil guy.  I can picture daddy and son wrestling on the floor, tons of little cars all over the floor, another PACKER FAN to cheer with me, and so many more fun things to think about.  With my daughter we play with babies, tea parties, princess princess princess stuff.  It is just such a blessing to be able to experience both a daughter and a son.  LORD guide me in raising each of them to be a Godly man and women of YOU!  :) 


Today already I thought I better start getting ready for the hospital.  So I packed the diaper bag, diapers, wipes, a couple onsies, a outfit, and a bottle.  It feels weird to think about a diaper bag since I have not been carrying one for  some time  now.  Selah was an easy potty trainer and there was not much of a need to carry a big bag around when we went places.  


Now I am thinking what do I need in my bag for the hospital.  
comfy pajamas
shampoo/conditioner/soap
toothbrush and toothpaste
hair brush
lotion
Lip balm
a few treats
nursing pads
nursing bra
slippers n socks
Camera and video camera
Music CD- I want my hubby to make me one
2 Outfits for the baby-Need to pick up a preemie size...just guessing but I think baby will be early like his sister.  She was 5 pounds 12 ounces.
Car Seat
Robe
cards or game
DVD


I will want my computer and phone charger, cant pack that yet
I also know the hospital will supply some things while there!  :) 






Am I missing anything important??  With my daughter i was not prepared at all... She arrived 4 weeks early and I was not prepared.  Luckily the hospital was not far from our house.  My hubby had to make a few trips back and forth.  This time the hospital is not far but not as close so I would like to be prepared.  :)

I think you pretty much got it covered for what you need.

Suppose I should start thinking about packing also! Not ready for this baby yet and I have been induced both times around my due date so not too concerned. If you go early we might have our babies at the same time :D

"The Reading Game" Review and Giveaway

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Description: The first book in  The Reading Game  learn-to-read series tells the story of a skunk without a stripe who is rejected by the other skunks but finds acceptance among some cats and becomes their defender.  It’s told in rhyme, is beautifully illustrated, and is 32 pages long.  It will be the first book the student reads, and there are five more to follow in this groundbreaking learn to read program. Each of The Reading Game's six stories is told using just thirty new words.  These are broken down into six sets of five words.  The student learns to read each set of five words by playing a simple word matching game.  Frequent exposure through play hard wires these words into long-term memory.  Rote learning is transformed into a fast-paced game with a winner every few seconds. After completing Skunk, Game 1, the student has learned five words (can, cat, is, me, not).  Playing Game 2 adds an additional five w...

Book Review: "God I feel Scared"

By Praises from a Wife and Mommy!
Kids have big feelings, but none of their feelings are too big for God. In this picture book from licensed counselor Michelle Nietert and Tama Fortner, young readers will explore what it means to feel scared and discover how to manage their emotions in a healthy way. Scared is a feeling that can be hard to face, but if we listen to it, we can learn things about ourselves. In  God, I Feel Scared , children will discover that it’s okay to be scared and that God is with us in all things, including fear. With simple, accessible text, scared becomes an emotion that kids don’t need to avoid and instead something they can use to better understand themselves and grow closer to God. The bright, emotive art by Nomar Perez will draw kids in, and a note in the back provides tips and techniques parents and caregivers can use to help young children process their feelings in a beneficial way. God, I Feel Scared  teaches kids ages 4 to 8 how to: Identify the feeling of fear and recognize thin...
