{Baby Hungry, Life Changes & Woombie Giveaway}
Alright… so that title was a bit… okay, a LOT misleading. lol.
And if you’re reading this Mom, NO, I’m not thinking about having more kids. ha!
I’ve just been going through this weird “feeling” lately. And I’m sure that some of you know it.
That… “I’m no longer a baby-makin’-Mommy” anymore… but a,
“I have kids in school now, Mommy”… stage of life.
It’s a very strange transition. All of a sudden, you don’t have as many things in common with your ” still-baby-makin’ friends” as you did before.
For ME, it was really hard having 3 babies all at once.
I felt like I was forever going to be the Mom with “all these babies”, who always looked strung out, and disheveled and who would permanently have a diaper bag attached to her shoulder!
I even joked, at one point with Cason that I thought wheeling around a carry-on sized suitcase would be easier then hauling around that freakin’ diaper bag that weighed about 50 lbs!
FIY: If you plan on having twins, and then a newborn, only about 19 months later… please know that instead of having the cute tiny boutique wipe container… you’ll need to upgrade to the big-daddy-beauty.
Take my word for it… You’ll thank me later 🙂
Believe me. I wouldn’t have had it any other way. I can’t tell you HOW lucky I am to have all of these adorable girls close in age.
They are the very best of friends, they get along SO well, and it’s been really fun to watch them all experience life together! From potty training to the first day of school and making new friends… The list goes on.
I would’t trade it for the WORLD!
But I have to tell you, now that I’m in the “Kid’s go to School, Mom” mode, I seem to cherish those little ones even more! Maybe that’s why being a grandparent is so much fun!?
I recently had the opportunity to spend a weekend with my sister and adorable niece and felt like I couldn’t drink in enough of her!
The sweet smell of baby skin, the big smiles, and the mindless baby chatter…
It made me long for my “babies” at home! (yes, they will ALWAYS be my babies, lol)
While watching my sister I was so impressed by all the knowledge that she had!
How prepared she seemed to be! Making her own baby food, teaching Abigail basic sign language…
What!?
There were SO many things that I didn’t know, before I had my babies! I was still a newly married 23 year old with 3 little lives and a hard working husband to take care of, now!
Wam-Bam-Thank-you-Maim! ha!
But…
Now that I’m the oh-so-mature, age of 28, (rolling my eyes… lol)
I can look back and see all of the AWESOME things that Cason and I DID learn! Like:
* How to stay with a routine.
* Why consistency REALLY IS key!
* How to start teaching our kids logical reason
* How and When to discipline
* How to work as a team and as a Family unit
* And most importantly, how to continually improve our communication skills and crazy-over-the-top love for each other, through this hectic new life, full of kids, work, and busy schedules!
Please tell me I’m not alone on this one.
So, this being said…
I’m here to admit. I’m baby hungry.
Not like…
“I want to HAVE another little one,”
baby hungry…
just more…
“I want to cuddle, swaddle, rock and kiss YOUR baby”
… kinda hungry 🙂
Do other Mom’s who KNOW that they are done having kids, ever get this way too?
It’s natural right?
That being said, I’m continually in aw, of all of these fabulous new
“We can make the little things, easier…” baby products that have come out, in the past few years.
Something that wasn’t around when I had babies, that I think is just fabulous is…
Have you heard of this!?
I don’t know about you, but MY babies HAD to be swaddled to sleep.
ALL of them.
The tighter and more secure that they felt, the better they slept!
We were masters at the swaddle, Cason and I 🙂
But here was the problem…
The SECOND you picked that baby up, to cuddle and love it, you had to deal with something that looked like this…
Blanket in baby’s face, and all-up in the way! lol
So annoying.
So check THESE out!
An ADORABLE solution, right!?
Honestly, this little contraption could have made my life SO much easier.
And I’m loving that they have convertible Woombie’s as well!
So you can buckle your baby in a car seat, WHILE they are snuggly and warm 🙂
Can’t do THAT with a bulky blanket.
There are some really adorable styles to choose from too:
Even though MY babies aren’t… “babies” anymore, I can think of about 10 friends and a few sisters who would love one of these for their tiny ones.
And lucky you!, Woombie is offering House of Smiths readers a chance to
win a free Wommbie of their own!
All you have to do is leave a comment here on this post, letting me know that you would be interested in trying out one of these fabulous new,
SAFE-cuddling cocoons!
Speaking of safe, check out all the amazing
benifits that Woombie offers, vs. a regular blanket.
Also, through May 5th, Woombie is offering a discount of 10% with the code: SweetDreams, on any purchase!
Good luck entering ladies… and remember,
If you ever need anyone to cuddle and love on, that sweet new baby of yours… gimmie a call.
🙂

I definitely would have loved this about 20 months ago and will love one for my next babe.
Andree and Josh says
We are trying to have a baby. I am hoping it will happen for us soon! These look great, and the styles are so cute!
Krystal says
Ooh, I'd love to try this out with our new little one on the way. It will be our 8th in 12 years, so I've been around the block. I love that with each baby we've had, new things have popped up to help take care of them!
LDA says
I am expecting my 3rd baby! My first two were colicky and I'm hoping and praying that this one won't be, but I'm thinking that the Woombie would be the best solution! I've just seen these recently and definitely would LOVE to have one!
Danielle K says
I'm expecting my first baby this year and would love one of these 🙂

Jet says
With my new baby only 16 months after my first, I would love anything that would make life easier getting this 3 month old baby to sleep!
Thanks for this amazing idea!
Katie Hale says
I would love to try it out! We are working on baby #2 so this would be a perfect first item to have!
Alicen says
Oh for neat! I too am done making the babies, but would love to give this as a gift to my best friend who I hope will be getting a baby soon. cross my fingers, and eyes, and toes, and, well you get it. 🙂
Amanda says
First, I have to admit… I have stalked your blog for quite a few months and never commented! I love your blog!
Item #2: I am not currently to the baby-making stage of life, but I have a few pregnant friends who I would love to give a Wommbie to! So I would love one (but for my friends)!
Item #3: I know my husband and I are not yet ready for baby-making, so I feel you today on wanting to love on a baby that just so happens to have come from someone else!

Wow! What a great product! I would love one to give to my sister, 1st baby : )
Crystal W. says
I have seen these online and am very interested. We are expecting in October and I know how well my niece responded to her Miracle Blanket for swaddling. I would love to have a Woombie on hand to try out!
Unknown says
i don't have babies but i do have LOTS of friends and family who would absolutely adore this! great giveaway.
Brett and Michelle says
I have been eyeing these for a while! I am about to have baby number 3 and I would LOVE to have one of these to put her in!

Tammy says
So I don't need a wombie, but I totally related to your post today! I am struggeling daily with leaving the "baby making phase" and entering the "baby raising phase". My youngest is 2 and I am TOTALLY craving someone elses infant baby to snuggle and smooch and spoil. I miss that so much it makes my heart hurt. I do not, however, need anything else hurting with the work of adding a 5th child, so we will be happy at four. Your pictures today just about killed me though. 🙂 My neighbor that used to live across the street just had their first baby yesterday. I can't wait for her to come visit!
Catherine says
My baby is 23 and newly married so, believe me, the baby paraphanalia has come a long way in that many years. As for the baby hunger … wait until you are contemplating grandchildren …. whoooo boy.
Lisalulu says
I'm a grandma and I get baby hungry… for grandbabies, and these little 'wombs' would work perfect!!!! and I can snuggle them too!!!
Jenafer Lowe says
I would love to have one of these, I'm an expert swaddler with my friends kids so I know the benefits of swadding. We are starting our adoption journey and I have fait that any day the phone will ring letting us know someone is interested in placing their child in our home. I would love to have a Woombie to make those nights as a first time mom even sweeter!
Emilee says
I would love to try out one of these when our next little one comes along!

Emily says
My newborn saw this and squealed! I think he's trying to tell you something! We would love this!
Anonymous says
I am know in this mode to. I have three: 8, 6, and 3 and we're done. I recently told my friend while watching the Baby Story on TLC that when your in the still having babies mode you watch and think "oh, that is amazing, I want one" and then you know your done having kids when you watch and think "oh, that poor lady, she has no idea what she's in for. staying up all hours, smelling like through up." TOO funny. My little sister recently had a baby and I LOVE him! Cuddle and kiss, smell and love him. The second he gets fussy or needs a diaper change I can give him back and he goes home. Love that even more.
Thanks for letting me know that feeling the way I do about not having anymore is normal. I too feel like the older mother in the ward that all the young moms can ask for advice. Awesome stage!
Katie Johnson says
I definitely need one.. My little girl has to be swaddled or she smacks herself in the face, but she figured out how to escape her swaddleme! This looks great!
Elizabeth O. says
These products look adorable and so useful as well. I'd love to enter in the contest. Thanks.
Designed by Chance says
I would love one of these they look so useful.

Heather says
I'm that totally disheveled Mother right now so if you ever need a couple babes to snuggle, just give me a shout out. i've got a couple wandering around this house somewhere…
Shauna says
My baby is due in about a month…I would LOVE to give this adorable "Woombie" a try! Ü

My youngest LOVED to be swaddled and I could definitely use this for our next baby in August!!
clayshaper07[at]yahoo.com
Jody says
As a mommy who is not yet done having babies, I would love to win one of these Woombies. I'm sure it would have been worth its weight in gold when my first was little; he loved to be swaddled but we could never do it just right. Perhaps I'll have a Woombie for my next few babies?
Forget Shyness Reviews says
these look great. i'd love to try one out.
littleheathen9109 @ yah00 d0t c0m
Lindsay says
I first saw this a few weeks ago and thought it was just awesome. We have a few new little ones in the group (although none of them are mine for now :D)and this looks like a great product to try.
Unknown says
My son just loves to be swaddled. There are only so many little blankets that can be tight enough for him. I would love to try these out!
Audrey @ The Cloth Parcel says
I'd love to give a Woombie a try! My 5 month old loves to be swaddled.

I just started following your blog and I just adore it 🙂 My new baby, Cohen, and I would LOVE to win one of these! He just can't get enough of being swaddled.
Bree says
I have a 10 month old and a 2 1/2 year old and I KNOW I will absolutely miss the fun baby time. Ofcourse not the sleepless nights, newborn back poop, teething, etc!

Jordans says
First comment! Cool! Just so happens we had our second child in March. He was born premature and spent several weeks recovering. He is home now, but still loves being wrapped up cacoon style. I would love one of those cute Woombies!!! So adorable!!!
Brenda says
My daughter and son-in-law are beginning their family this year and I can finally start gathering up goodies. I'm old-school and know about swaddling but I had no idea about Woombies, they look awesome! I would love to be able to wrap a grandbaby in one! Pick me Please?
Juls says
Oh man, the first comment never wins, but I really hope this time it does! 🙂
ragamuffinbeauties says
I love these pics of your girls & niece…and that one of Cason holding one of the girl's is precious! I especially love how this is so genuinely written from your heart! Lots of inspiration of how to do a review the right way.
Unknown says
Confession: I am nursing my 2 month old baby as I type all swaddled up! This Wommbie would be awesome to try out!!
Andie says
This would have made so many things easier…. especially in our Utah winters.
Anonymous says
This would really come in handy when I have my new baby in November. My son always had to be wrapped like a burrito to go to bed! This is a wonderful idea and I'd love to give it a try.
Candace says
JJ had one of those in the NICU.. LOved IT!!!
The Parish Family says

Beck says
This is such a great idea! My babies loved to be swaddled, too. 🙂
Amy Waller says
Girl, you can come to Florida and babysit mine anytime! 😉 Hehehe.
I would LOVE to try out the Woombie. I don't swaddle my little girl anymore because she always came out of the Swaddle Me blanket. So annoying. But, I know she would sleep better if she had something like the Woombie!
*crossing my fingers*
Kate says
my little one is 3 months old now and this would be PERFECT for her naps and bedtime! what a brilliant idea… and cute to boot 🙂
Mandi @ Sweetly Home says
My sweet girl is soon to be turning 4 months old and though she isn't the biggest fan of a tight swaddle, I do have a niece who is due in July! I'd love to pass a Woombie on to her!
Spencer Family says
Count me in!
April says
I don't even have kids yet, but am planning to in the near future and I would LOVE to try one of these out. I was never very good at swaddling my sisters (at least not as good as my mom who worked in the NICU), so I definitely think it would come in handy one day.
Abbey D. says
My friend's mom just got her a Wombie for a shower gift!! She said she's heard amazing things about them! Where were they when my son was an infant?!
Sarah says
I would love to try this with our next baby!
Just started following your blog, love your style and your girls are adorable!
Shawnte says
Oh I totally need one of these! I had my little Katelyn 10 weeks early. She is still in the NICU but doing so good. She loves to be swaddled and the tighter the better! I hope she will be home by mothers day. I checked out their site and would love the little ballet pink with ruffles woombie. So very cute! I know Katelyn would love it too 🙂
C&C says
I would love to try a woombie on our next little one! Our baby girl was a pro at kicking herself out of her swaddle, and it was such a pain!
Eric and Hilary says
i would definitely be interested in trying one of these 'babies' out! the designs are so cute!
Unknown says
Thanks so much for letting us know about these! I just checked them out and added one to the registry for our boy coming in July. We would love to win one!
Katie says
I'd love to try a Wommbie with my 2nd baby due in September! I love reading your blog!
EmmaJ says
I would love one of those! My kids are like Houdini with their swaddles and yet when they don't struggle they sleep so well.
Sarah says
I would love to try one of those with our next baby!
Just started following your blog – love your style and your girls are adorable!

Lyndsey says
Awesome give-away! COunt me in!
Melanna says
I am surrounded by mommies with little babies. Not sure if we'll have one more or not, but if we did, I would LOVE one of these. And if we don't, well I know some mamas who could use it!
Leslie Miller says
My sister-in-law is expecting her first baby and this is a MUST HAVE for her. When my son was born she asked if he wore diapers so I am guessing swaddling is NOT in her vocabulary. I know she and her fabulous husband would be so thankful!
Katrina says
I would love to try one of these out for the baby on the way!
ykatrina at hotmail dot com
XO, Katie says

This looks like a great product. The ruffle ones are particularly cute.
Michell @ Girl In Air says
Your girls are precious! Makes me want a sister…Well my girls are 20 and 18 years old and my son is 20 months old…all too big for the Woombie…
But I would give it as a wonderful gift for a friend.
Thank you
Stefanie says
I am due in October with baby #4…wish I would have found something like this for my 1st 3, they all loved to be swaddled. Although, Mommy was the only one who could swaddle them even though Dad tried & tried! I would love to try one of these for my newest blessing-to-be!
Forsythe says
We need one of these. We as well are professional swaddlers and I know this Woombie would be perfect. What a fantastic invention! Thanks for the giveaway,

Those things look awesome. I would love to try one!

How precious! We have 5 babies that we will be welcoming into our family in the next 6 months or so (each with a different set of parents of course). What a perfect way to keep a baby all cuddly and warm!
Kristen says
I've seen these and don't have the money for all the special little frills- only very basic necessities. Would be nice to win one! 🙂
Sarah says
Yes, swaddling is huge at our house! We're expecting our first baby boy any day now (after 3 girls) so I'd love this!!

My baby is 8 months old and doesn't like to be swaddled anymore…I didn't see these until just recently and I want one so bad for the next kiddo!!! Hopefully they will want to be swaddled if I use this right away! 🙂 Loved your post by the way! 🙂

Oh Boy! I wish I had this 5 months ago! But…of course I know someone that would absolutely love this, My sister who is due with twin Identical girls in 5 weeks! (or in 1 or 2 or 3…we're waiting for her to literally pop!) But with two crazy older sons we are looking for anything to make her life easier, and if it's adorable like these it's a added bonus! (Oh then I'll pray for twins on my next go around and let her regift to me:) It's a win, win!

I am expecting a new little one in November and would love one of these!!! 🙂
Joshua and Cameron says
I would love to try one of these. My baby is too big but we are going to try for another one soon.
Ashlee Marie says
My current youngest is starting kindergarten in just 1 year… Some mornings I think, why oh why am I starting all over again!!! But I'm mostly excited. My babies were also all swaddlers, they would sleep MUCH longer the tighter I could get them, so I would LOVE a Woombie for my newest little one (but not sure if I want a boy color or girl color quite yet…)
Hannah says
Cute!

~Love Lis says
Super cute! I've tried becoming a swaddling master with my niece and just can't get the hang of it. It looks like I've found my answer! 🙂
Dana says
I would love to give it a try! My sweet little 9 week old loves him some swaddle and probably would love it too!
Janna says
I would love to win this!
Sarah says
What a great idea! Would love to try one out! 🙂
Jessica says
I would love to try one of these. I just had a baby and he loves to be swaddled but the blanket is always bunched up and in the way especially in the middle of the night.
Unknown says
This would be awesome, I'd never heard of them before! My daughter had to be swaddled too, much longer than any of my friend's babies so it's a good thing she was short and still fit in the swaddling blankets. Baby boy is due in August and it'd be great to have one for him!
The Peterson 5 says
I would LOVE to try one. My new baby will be here in just a few weeks!
Haley says
Wonderful post! I've seen the Woombie in action, and would love to get one for my niece who should make her arrival in July 🙂
haleycboyd[at]gmail.com
Rachel says
Oh goodness I need one of those!
The Dietzen's says
This is amazing!!! I would love one of these….trying to swaddle in a regular blanket is so tough! they always find a way to break free 🙂
Miki says
Adorable. I just want to eat those little baby burritos! I need one of these, because let's face it, I totally suck at the blanket swaddle.
Kenton and Marianne Ogg says
I would love to try one of these out! We're currently hoping to get pregnant and one of these would help me out quite a bit.
Lynette says
Wow, I didn't even know those existed! I would love one!
Holly and Brad says
I would LOVE one of these. My 2 boys loved being swaddled (we swaddled them til they were 10 months old, can you believe it?!) and I'm sure the little Miss I'm expecting in July will be the same. Thanks for the giveaway!
Sarah says
I LOVE the "new baby smell" and new baby cuddles!
Chantol says
I feel the same way. I can't wait for my sister to have another baby so that I can hold, cuddle and snuggle her baby 🙂
Nick and Melanie Munns says
I want one!
Anna Hone says
YES PLEASE! This looks like a wonderful idea! would love to try this on my baby and babies to come…..;)
Emily, Store Manager says
Those are AWESOME!!! I totally want one for my next little one… and I would also like to carry them at my store… we have a little baby section where I love to find unique things to offer our guests. These would be the perfect addition! –

Emily, Store Manager says
Those look AWESOME & ADORABLE! Would love to try one out on my next little one… and would also like to carry them in a store I manage. We try to carry unique items and these little woombies look perfect…
Heidi @ Honeybear Lane says
Goodness can you say BUSY!!! You are wonder woman, dealing with those three babies all at once. I wanted to die today just taking my two boys to Costco. If you're missing this, maybe you should read this post I just wrote: honeybearlane.com/2011/04/help-my-three-year-old-is.html
I love those woombies, I haven't seen them before. I always used those swaddlers–the baby straight jackets. It would be fun to try it out!
Amy says
Oh I want that!! Really bad! That is new since I had my last & there is sure to be another one…so I will start my stash now!
Jake and Caylie says
so cute! I want one to give to my new neice!
Unknown says
i'm new to your blog and love it! my 2 month old would love this! go me!
Katie says
I sooo relate to your comment about forever more having a diaper bag strapped to you and looking disheveled all the time. That's me!
The Woombie looks awesome!! Would be SO nice to have.
Natalie says
I am expecting my FIFTH child in two months. I'm wondering why these woombies weren't invented like 12 years ago! I would LOVE to have one.
Anonymous says
My 1 month old baby would defenately sleep better with this thing!
Bud & Kim says
I saw these about the time that Abby was ready to stopped being swaddled. I am for SURE getting one for our next baby. Swaddling was the ONLY way Abby would sleep at night and she went from not sleeping to sleeping 7 hours at a time in just one night after we figured it out. Oh and sis…you can come swaddle my girl any time. 😉 Love ya!
Amber says
What a FANTABULOUS idea! who wouldda thought of that! Not me..thats for sure. I would love to try this out, that is such an awesome idea, my babies love to be swaddled too, but like you said, the blankets are a pain in the butt!

I feel you and your pain. I am the mom of three. My two and three are twins. I had them about 3 years after my first. They are turning 8 next week. And I am baby hungry. My husband and I became swaddling pros when our first had acid reflux and then just trying to keep two asleep at the same time. My baby sister had her first last week and I would love to give this to her, or keep if for myself if I can convince my husband he is baby hungry too.

Wynter says
I would love this for our new one on the way! I always sucked with swaddling so we just kinda gave up on it with our first. Poor kid, ok so poor us.. maybe thats why she was up every 2 hrs… hummmmm

I'm still in the having baby mode… but love all the cuddles and noises too from our one year old, and the next one is on it's way too!! We would love to try the Woobie, looks like a fantastic time saver. Our first had to be swaddled all the time too. Thanks for the opportunity!
Kristen says
With 3rd son in 23 months due in June, YES I NEED A WOOMBIE!!! 🙂

Love your post for the parenting 101. Although I am a mom for 2 years already, I still feel like I am new to the new stage. always looking for ways or tips to improve my parenting skill.
I would love to be the winner of the giveaway for my new baby. I wish I know there was such thing for swaddler for my son when he was a baby.

Haha Shelley! We are done as well! Adoption is hard work. I am feeling that 3 is a good number! So, I don't want a Woombie for me, but I would love to gift one to my sweet friends who are praying for a baby through the miracle of adoption.

Oh my gosh! Whhy did I know these existed?? I would absolutely LOVE one, especially because I'm now transitioning my four month old daughter out of my bed, and she won't sleep unless she feels secure. They are too cute and genius!! I have a serious crook in my neck from sleeping all funky because I don't want to roll over on/squish my cutie pie.

This post is adorable..let me tell you. I was one of those women…done having babies stage, heck I have teenagers, I started making plans to go back to school, and other stuff like that that us mom's put on the backburner to raise our kids..finally my children were all going to be in school..only to find out we were suprisingly expecting again with our 5th! AHH..as much as it was a shocker and still can't believe it. We are excited to meet our newest little one in just a few weeks. So..a woombie would be a great have!

Totally think that what you're feeling would be normal. Not that I can speak from experience, cause I have 6 weeks til girl #2 is due. But it's crazy to me how I can look at my 21 month old and think she's so big!!! (I'm sure I won't be thinking that when #2 get here).
So if you need to take a baby break, come see us in SE Idaho in a few months!!

Becky says
That is a fabulous invention. A real "why didn't I think of that" kind of thing. So, I must have one…but not for me, for my sister who had a new baby a week and a half ago…she is so darling and I get to love her, rock her and hold her and then give her back! Amen to the baby days being over, but still having baby fever. becky_brum[at]yahoo.com

I would love one of these for me…if we ever have another or maybe even to give to my bestie who is pregnant right now! 🙂
Kolbi Young says
Brilliant! My baby still liked swaddling at bedtime until he was almost one….definitely provides a sense of security. Even now, when you lay him on your shoulder, he wiggles his arms to his sides, just like they were positioned while swaddled in a blanket. Funny things kids do!
Joey says
Thank you for this post! I have a newborn son who is 4 weeks old today and a 2 1/2 year old daughter. I wouldn't trade them for the world, but it has been a very hard transition. Thank you for the encouraging words. I broke down for the first time last night, I think mainly from exhaustion 🙂 It is so nice to hear how other Mom's made it through the sleepless nights and shower-less days 🙂 I know one day when I am a Mom with school-age kids I will miss these days, it is good to be reminded how special these days really are.
pinkalishious says
your babies are so cute!!! Its sounds to me, you aint done having babies, lol. I had 2 boys close together & thought i was done that my family was complete, then 4yrs later i had my baby girl who's now 7 yrs old, & i lost one, i do get that feeling that my family is complete & i know that, when i see a screaming baby or a toddler playing up, im know its not for me anymore, gone are those day's, dont get me wrong i cherish my babies, & motherhood was so much more easier back then for me, but with a disabled child, a middle child & a princess, another just wouldnt be right & i love them all just the way they are!!!
Happy Day's x x

Oh, I have baby fever too, and my youngest is going to be one in May…how can it be possible to have baby fever, when I still have a baby (no idea).
I honestly think that it's because EVERYONE I know is having a baby. Which is why one of these Woombies would be GREAT! Dang, I so totally wish I would have known about these 12 months ago…oh well. 🙂

I'm not entering the contest but I just have to say that with my youngest at 3 1/2 years old I get that 'have to cuddle your baby' thing ALL the time. Seriously. I just see a baby and I'm wanting to hold him/her SO bad. So while I sometimes think I want another baby I know I just want one so I can have a baby that is all mine to cuddle 24/7. So no more babies for us! I'm sticking with being a surrogate mom-I get to be preggo and for a few days I get to hold and snuggle a baby if I want but then hand it over to the parents for the 'dirty' work! 🙂 Kind of sad when they go home but oh so worth it. So…does anyone have a baby I could hold for a few hours??

Hey Shelley —
Just wanted to say that you are SO not alone in your baby hungry-ness. I feel exactly the same as you!
Now my kidlings are a bit older, (23, 17, 12 & 10) but let me tell you, I KNEW, knew, knew about a year after my last was born that I was done. But put a cutie-patootie baby in my general area? It's all I can do to keep from snuggling them and inhaling all their loveliness. That milky baby breath? Heaven.
Have a fantastic weekend!

Mama Mimi says
Oh my gosh….would I EVER love to try one!!! The ruffles on that pink one are soooo dang cute!!!! Who thought swaddling could look so good?
So my Lil Miss should be coming home in June (assuming we pass court in Ethiopia in May) and we've been reading that babies grieve in their sleep. So since she will be experiencing a lot of loss so young (losing her birthmom, her country, all familiar sounds and smells, plus her current caregivers) we need to make her feel really secure while she is sleeping (as well as respond quickly to needs…but that's another post). Other adoptive moms have suggested swaddling (which we did for our homegrown son as well). Would LOVE to give the woombie a go!!! =) Thanks for the opportunity to win! =)

Wow! Both of my boys loved being swaddled, and I'm sure baby #3 will love it, too…when he/she comes…in the not-so-very-soon future. :o)

That one picture the baby looks like a little glow worm – it is so adorable!
I wish I was one of those mom's that knew they were done and I could give you some advice – unfortunately – I have 3 – and keep begging my husband that we won't even notice if there is another one – it isn't working so much for me right now. So any baby I can get my hands on – I bring them over to my house to try and warm my husband up to the idea…If you know any tricks – pass them my way!
Just Beachy says
THESE ARE SO STINKIN CUTE! I don't have a new born right now, I have a 5 yr old red head and a very barren womb desperate for a 9 month lease! And even though, I'm not prego, it seems I have about a bazillion friends who are. Regardless, this is awesome.
Amy says
I just wanted to tell you I love reading your blog. I have three little girls too but we had our first then twenty months later a set of twins. Ours is backwards to you. So much fun! Mine are still almost two and then three and a half month twins. It looks like it gets easier and a lot of fun! Thanks for blogging!
