Must Have Baby Gear

Must have baby gear from a third time mom.

Here we are just six weeks away from our third baby entering the world! I can’t believe we are getting so close. It’s such a familiar and unfamiliar season we are preparing to embark on at the same time. I know the newborn season well, I’ve been there a couple times and what’s to come isn’t as big of a surprise. But entering the world of three children will be new territory for us.

Being around the block with newborns a couple times, there are a few products that we have used and loved that we couldn’t imagine not having for the third baby. So take it from me, if you’re expecting here are a few things you definitely want to have!

DockATot – I have heard SUCH amazing things about this product! I love how portable it is making it easy to move to various places around the house. I really can’t wait to give it a try on this new little guy! I plan to use it a lot to keep him in safe places away from the kids playing. We also like to have a safe place to lay him in bed with us if we ever need to.

Sock-Ons – We have had these for both our kids and they are miracle workers! Most people ask me if it leaves marks on the child’s feet from the elastic but it doesn’t! They really work!

Modern Burlap Swaddle Blanket – This has to be one of the softest swaddles I have ever seen. They come in beautiful trendy prints too that make it extra fun and cute for little ones. You can never have too many swaddle blankets for your baby because you’ll definitely go through a lot of laundry! I love that these are also light weight since we will be having a summer time baby.

Video Monitor – We didn’t start off with a video monitor for Jase and we made do for a few months. But when he got more mobile in his crib I really regretted not having one. We bought one when he was ten months old and I would never go back. I am wanting to upgrade our current one to this so that I have the pan option for our camera since the boys will be sharing a room.

Happy Baby Wrap – These are my favorite wraps for the first few weeks. You can use these as the baby grows, but I really love them for the newborn days because it can hold them in a way that resembles being in the womb. Every time I put my newborn baby in one of these wraps they fall asleep. The material is light making it easy to tie and not too hot to wear.

4Moms Mamaroo – This pretty much eliminates the need for a swing and bouncer. It’s like the all in one baby gear! With so many options for speeds and directions you are sure to find one that your baby will like! I also love the ability to change the recline level which we have had to do with babies prone to reflux.

Covered Good Multi-Use Nursing Cover – This product speaks for itself. It’s cute and with multiple uses it makes it super convenient!

Ergo Baby Carrier – As baby gets older I like to switch to this carrier. They tend to like to be more upright and this carrier does just that as well as offering more back support as the baby gets heavier. This hands down has been a lifesaver with multiple children. Baby wearing is how you get through the day!

What do you think about this list? Did I miss anything?

You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love You deserve to exist, with the same grace and love that you so freely give to your family. It’s not just about holding space for them; it’s about holding space for you, too.

You don’t have to shrink yourself to make room for others.

You deserve to take up space too.
Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive becom Sometimes, the habits that helped us survive become the hardest to unlearn. Those patterns once kept you safe, but now you’re learning they don’t need to anymore. 

Give yourself grace—you’re unlearning survival. Healing takes time, and with each layer you peel back, you’re discovering the person you’ve always been beneath the survival.

And if you’re anything like me, you’ll really learn to love her. ❤️
✨ NEW SEASON ✨ I’m not a big fan of change. ✨ NEW SEASON ✨

I’m not a big fan of change. My nervous system gets all panicky and tends to over research every possibility that could take place. It likes to tell me safety is in the details. 

But I know that’s not true.

This year has been a big year of growth for me in this department. Trauma told me control was my safety, but the truth was all I ever had was a false sense of control. 

This year has offered plenty of opportunities for me to say, “Okay God, you have my yes, wherever that leads.”

No over research. No over analyzing. No predicting every possibility. No trying to control the outcome.

Just a heart that says, “Yes.” 

Even when I don’t understand. Even when I’m nervous how it will turn out. Even when it feels like right now isn’t bad. Even when my heart’s confused. 

Even when….

God has been asking us both a lot lately, “Do I have your yes, no matter what that looks like?” Friday was the end of a season for Chad working at the Appliance Guys, and today starts a new season of a new company. It was NOT an easy decision, and it came with a lot of tears (mainly from me - are you surprised?). His boss, where he’s been for the last almost six years, has been an incredible support for our family as we walked through some of the hardest seasons of our family. They will always hold a special place in our heart.

But God said “it’s time” and my faith-filled husband said “Yes.” I have to admit, I don’t envy how hard this decision was for him. It affects us both, yes. But he had to walk it out. And I’m so grateful for His leadership and faith to Jesus to step into the next season when there are so many unknowns.

Sometimes, all God wants to know is does He have our “YES” no matter what that means. No matter what that changes. 

May I live my life in a way that has an open heart to hear from God and a willingness to say “YES” even when….

(PS he was so thrilled I made him take this photo. 😂 But I know this season will be one we forever ever want to remember, because God always shows His faithfulness).
I wonder if they would have chosen life for her. I wonder if they would have chosen life for her.

I wonder if they would have seen what was growing inside of her, and the fight that was about to come on the other side, if they would have said her life was worth saving.

I wonder if they would have discounted her before she had a chance. 

I wonder if they would have made a prediction about her quality of life and deemed her not worth the cost.

I wonder if they would have saw the life saving measures she would need and decided that it was worse to let her live.

I wonder if they would have saw everything that could go wrong, the bleak prognosis, and compared her to statistics. 

I wonder if they would have made a choice to encourage a decision that robbed us all of the miracle we see today.

Whether 48 hours or 4 years - her life has changed mine for the better. It’s heartbreaking to think someone may have once told me she wasn’t worth it.
