Baby Recommendation-Mirror

Jeff and I have been struggling with a baby problem- that being the car mirrors. Before Naomi was born I went to a baby consignment sale and got this mirror for Jeff's car:

The one and only reason I ended up buying this is because it was a whopping $3. It was the cheapest in the bin! Well, let me tell you this is the BEST baby mirror!!

After I got the Munchkin mirror we registered for Eddie Bower mirrors because they looked durable and like they would be good quality. We figured that we could replace the 'consignment mirror' with a new and better one if someone got it for us off our registry. This is the mirror we got:

Looks nice, right? Yeah...that about all. It looks nice. Now, because we had never had kids before or even thought about the logistics of having Naomi in the back this looked like a good mirror. Here are the cons of this mirror. 1- It is extremely difficult to adjust the mirror to the perfect angle so that the driver can actually see important parts of their child. Many times Jeff and I would be helping each other adjust the mirror just so we could see her face, or part of her face. If Jeff wasn't around I would keep running around the car until I had the perfect angle. 2- Even if you found the perfect angle for the mirror it would inevitably move! Then it would have to be readjusted. 3- The strap on ours broke after having it for 3 months!

At the next kids' consignment sale I was on a hunt to find another mirror. I found this one:

I picked this one up because it had a wire part on the back. I thought this would make it easier to adjust. The pictures online made it look easier...but it WASN'T!

So Jeff and I broke down and bought another Munchkin Mirror which works wonderfully and I think Naomi agrees!

This is why this mirror is so wonderful! It adjusts so easily up, down, left, and right. It also doesn't slip or fall at all so we don't have to keep adjusting it!

So if you're in the market for a baby car mirror I highly suggest the Munchkin mirror!

While ordering the mirror I also saw this car organizer:

Much better quality than the one I made out of a shoe organizer and I highly recommend the Munchkin version over the 'Alison' version!

21 Weeks Update

I've been really bad about keeping up with these pregnancy pictures...life just gets so crazy sometimes! We had some exciting things happen this week as you can see in the picture. 1- It's a girl! I was completely convinced that we were having a boy. I had boy dreams, no morning sickness, and Jeff comes from a family of 2 brothers and 2 nephews. Needless to say, I was completely shocked! Don't get me wrong, I am very excited to have a baby girl, just very shocked! 2- I'm halfway through my pregnancy. This is crazy! Time has really been flying! I have a friend at work who is also pregnant and is one day behind me. She brought me a bagel one morning to celebrate our 1/2 way point. This was so needed because I completely forgot to eat breakfast that morning! Thanks Melissa! 3- I play french horn for my church orchestra. My belly is now starting to get in the way of my bell, pushing it out of the way! Our little girl likes to dance a lot when I play. It is...

Bunny

About a year ago I got a bunny as my classroom pet. I have wanted a Netherland Dwarf bunny for quite some time because of their cute ears and they stay small. Small bunny = perfect for classoom life. So after the beloved Max (my old guinea pig) left us, I knew now was the time to get a bunny! Thank goodness my sister Anna looks on Craigs List all the time for animals because she actually found a Netherland Dwarf Bunny that was up for adoption! YAY! I got her a couple of days after I found the post and was so excited. The kids decided to name her Maddi after a character in the book Fever 1793 . If you like historical fiction books, you should check it out because it's really good! Little did I know that bunnies are full of personality! On her first day home she bit me 3 times and got me 2 times with her nails. Good thing is now she likes me (most of the time) and is much more friendly! She lets the kids in the class pet her and feed her. She also hops around the classroom....

Birth Story

We wanted to share Naomi's birth story with everyone because it is such a testimony to how God provided for us and looked after me during this whole process. About 2 weeks before the due date I started to get severe back pain that woke me up in the middle of the night. The pain was so bad that it kept me up the rest of the night. After two nights of excruciating pain I went to the doctor and was told that there is nothing they can really do for back pain because I was pregnant. They prescribed some pain medication to take at night. For a couple of nights the medicine helped, but then about 3 days later I woke up again with horrible back pain. I called the doctor again and he referred me to a back specialist because they might have some other options to help with the pain. I got an appointment for Monday (April 7th) which was good because I had another rough night being up for several hours with back pain. I went to work in the morning and ...
