W/W Lego Land for EC's Birthday!

Ethan had quite a birthday week! He first had his Star Wars birthday party, which was a total blast! And then the Friday before Memorial weekend was his actual birthday. The hubs always takes our kids bdays off work. Its a tradition that we love. So we had a 4 day weekend ahead of us and we had so much fun. We took our Lego obsessed boy to Lego Land on Friday for his birthday and now we can say he is EVEN more Lego obsessed! I'm so glad we waited until he really could appreciate it. We all had a great day and a very fun weekend. It was nice to not go out of town and enjoy the beautiful area we live in. We vowed to stay put more this summer :)

Showing his new Star Wars Lego set in Star Wars land. (We were stuck in the Star Wars Lego village for hours! No joke.)

Baby girl did AMAZING! She is so laid back and easy. She was happy the whole day.

Hot Mama Gown Review!!

A few months ago I delivered my second baby. After the first experience I had a list of things I would do differently and the whole hospital gown situation was one of them. I was so uncomfortable in it. I already felt gross after delivery and the generic hospital gown didn't help. During my pregnancy I did a lot of window aka Internet shopping and was scoping out these adorable Hot Mamma Gowns for awhile. So I was so excited when the lovely people at Hot Mamma Gowns sent me the Grace Gown to review during my labor experience. One thing that stood out about the gown when I opened up the package was that it was cute! Not the ugly hospital material. It didn't feel like one either. Oh my... this gown was SOFT!

This is the Grace Gown they sent me. I was obviously in a daze the day after my birth so I didn't get any pictures of me wearing the gown (just a ton of pictures of my beautiful baby girl!) So this is a picture from The Hot Mama Gowns website of the gown I was sent.

These are an alternative to the generic hospital gown. I was disappointed that my hospital didn't let me where mine during the actual labor (which is not the norm I hear), but I did get to wear it during my post par tum stay. These gowns are designed for style, comfort and functionality!

The gown is designed to fit you before and after pregnancy. The ribbon-tied panels allow you to expand or reduce the gown and allows you access to your breasts individually. There are also hidden snaps along the inside of the top panels that ensure a secure fit during wear.

Gown Features:

• 100% Organic Cotton
• Dyed using only 100% natural or low-impact dyes
• Hospital / Birthing Center Friendly
• Short sleeves and a full coverage snap-open back
• Two ribbon-tied panels allow for quick and easy access for discreet nursing

When the gown came it was in the most adorable packaging!! So girlie and fun. I was so excited to open it.

My thoughts:

LOVED IT! Even though I didn't get to wear this gown during my delivery I am so happy I had it for afterwards. As Momma's know, the nurses were constantly still examining you so wearing normal pj's was kinda a pain, but having my own cute and comfortable gown was so nice. My favorite feature by far was how easy it was to breastfeed in it discretely and comfortably. During my hospital stay there were lots of friends and family visiting and I loved that this gown has full coverage in the back. Lets face it, after giving birth I want to feel comfortable AND pretty and this gown did both! I highly recommend it for mommies to be. It would make a great gift!
