S is for Stuff: Push Gift

Ok ladies, 

by now I feel like we've all heard of this new phenomenon

regarding the infamous "push gift". 

You know, the gift some women get after "pushing" out a baby. 

(cue Mr. C's eye roll now)

I must say, now after having gone through labor myself, 

(they don't call it "labor" for nothin')

I'm kinda jumping on the "push gift" band wagon.
(but let's not get it twisted...obviously the baby is the best gift of all!)

So if I were to be so lucky, I would be happy to receive any of these:

mom ring

monogram initial necklace

envelope locket

mama diamond rose gold ring

custom baby thumb print necklace

Snuggling with my real gift, Baby Tripp-

XOXO- LC

R is for Random: Corgi Friday

Happy Friday!

In honor of my other babies: Duke and Pip, 

today is Corgi day. 

Did I mention how much I love corgis?!?

From here,

here, 

and here.

{would it be so "mommy" of me if I wore that corgi sweatshirt?... 

or would it be totally awesome?!}

XOXO- LC

M is for Memories: 2 Weeks Old

Hello Baby,

This morning at 6:43am, you were officially 2 weeks old!

It feels like yesterday that we saw you for the very first time. 

The past couple weeks have already gone by so fast. 

And even through some of the sleepless nights, what a wonderful 2 weeks it's been. 

Today you weighed 7lbs, 15oz- 

exactly 1 pound heavier than the day you were born. 

Happy 2 weeks to you my little love,

XOXO- Mom

S is for Stuff: Baby Teethers

I think this whole "having a baby" thing is 

going to be bad for my wallet.
Not only because baby's are expensive of course, 

but because this "up all night" thing can lead to some serious online shopping. 

{or "surfing" rather...don't fret Mr. C!}

Bad for me. Good for you. 

I've found some cool "stuff" that I hope to share with you weekly. 

Whether you have a baby or not, 

these can be some neat gifts for friends or something to bookmark for later. 

Aren't these just the neatest (and prettiest) teethers?!

from here,

here,

and here.

Happy Monday!

XOXO- LC

B is for Baby: Due Date

Hello Baby,

As the Mad Hatter from Alice and Wonderland would say,

today is your "happy unbirthday"!

That's because your real birthday was almost 2 weeks ago.

{did someone push fast forward or something?!}

Your official due date was today. 

{afternoon nap with me : play time with dad}

This morning we had your 2 week newborn screening. 

They pricked your little foot...again. 

However, since you had a full belly, you barely cried. 

As always, you were such a good baby. 

Also, I feel I should mention you had a 

couple milestones within the last 24 hours: 

you officially have an "outie" belly button {which is so cute!}

and your circumcision healed this morning. 

Today you received a ridiculously delicious bouquet of cookies

from your Auntie Kendra- all the way from Jackson Hole.

Don't worry, I'll take care of eating them for you! 

After all, your on a strictly milk diet. :)

Happiest of "unbirthdays" to you my sweet boy!

XOXO- Mom
