Baby Hungry, Woombie Giveaway and Life

{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...

The Woombie.

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
