A New Home A New Life

They say home is where the heart is and we firmly believe that's true. No matter how big or small your home is and whether it's old or new, wherever the whole family is then that place becomes not just an ordinary house but a home.

Right now we're just living in an apartment but we're hoping to find a new home for our growing baby. The place where we live now is good enough but having a place of our own can help so much in baby's developments too. A small apartment can put much restrictions on baby's growth because he can't do so much other things with a limited space. A new home can give us a new life, a life more free and more room to grow.

It will be our first time buying a house and we're hoping that our good credit can score us to a better home mortgage offer. This can help a lot in the financial aspect which will give us the power to finally acquire a property that we've always wanted to have.

Warning! No Chllies for Moms-To-Be

Being pregnant gives us the privilege of indulging and eating almost everything we want. Most women get to enjoy this but for me that's never the case. I had to be very careful with what I eat and the portions due to gestational diabetis. Thinking of baby's health and well-being is the most important thing for me so no-no even to my biggest cravings. It wasn't easy because I used to enjoy certain foods but being careful with what I eat, I had to give up some things. Of course I get occasional pizzas and chili beans but without TABASCO® Original Red, the best condiment to go with those dishes.  As much as I want some zing in my savory foods I had to be careful since I read that too much chilly can induce labor.  Whether it's true or not I'd rather not risk for baby's sake.

Now that baby's born I can enjoy some more pizza and chili beans with few drops of Tabasco original red, lactation nurses told us spices don't go through the milk but still need to ease up a bit to avoid passing gas to baby.  Even a tiny little drop elevates the level of taste making it a whole lot more complete.  What's best is it's perfect timing for the Super Bowl Game-Day Party Menu, Pizza Perfected with every bite.  Occasional indulging isn't bad but make sure to still keep it in moderation.

Baby Development @ 9 months

Here are the baby milestones @ 9 months: By the end of the month most babies should be able to:

• Reach for toys
• Drop objects and look for them
• Show interest in grabbing the spoon during eating
• Pick up tiny objects
• Begin to identify self in a mirror’s reflection

The dropping game is little J's favorite, he giggles everytime he drops whatever he's holding and mommy had to pick it up. Very curious than with everything going around him he actually wants to try things by himself. I have to be always watchful because he's starting to pick tiny things and try to stuff in his tiny mouth too. Well what can I do, I have a developing baby boy =)

Baby's Meeting The Family

This post brought to you by Hiltons of Branson. All opinions are 100% mine.

My family and I have been apart for about 2yrs now. We'll soon be reunited with my husband and baby's homecoming trip this coming February. It's not easy to be away from them because when I first came here I've got nobody but my husband. Only now that we're gifted with a very beautiful blessing that I have someone with me, our baby is our one and only treasure here. Our homecoming won't be too long but enough for our little one to spend some time with my side of family, to know all of them. It's very important to make the baby know who are his relatives that's why we're taking a good break from work and will be enjoying some great time with them.

My mom and dad also plan to visit us here soon after we comeback from the vacation. I think it's a good time to do that because baby's already acquainted with them and he'll be comfortable enough to be around grandma and grandpa. Hopefully we can do the most of vacation if they really come over to visit and be able to head out to Branson. It would be great to relax and explore the other side of the country probably stay in Hilton Branson Convention Center Hotel or Hilton Promenade at Branson Landing. Baby's still very young so most likely we can enjoy sightseeing and if allowed visit the Titanic Museum. If mom and dad are up for some adventure maybe we can bring them to do ziplining or fishing.

I don't really know how things will go and if they can really come over soon enough but if so, we will definitely enjoy some family time together and create lasting memories for baby to remember.

Healthy Baby Butt For a Happy Mommy

This post brought to you by Boudreaux's Butt Paste. All opinions are 100% mine.

Diaper rashes can be really irritating for babies and every mom feels so bad whenever our dear babies are suffering from anything. My little boy once suffered from a severe diaper rash when he had diarrhea after his vaccines. The rashes were really read and like swollen, I couldn't bear the suffering my baby was experiencing that time.

It's good to practice proper cleaning for our precious little one, this way it can help avoid the chances of rashes. Washing them with warm water to get rid of the skin irritants is a must. Not to forget applying diaper rash creams or ointments. This can help heal and soothe the irritated skin, exactly what our baby needs.

There are many diaper rash creams available out there but I personally love how Boudreaux's Butt Paste worked for my baby. He became rash free after several treatments, finally I felt relieved. Before I thought it's one of those fancy over the counter rash creams but upon researching more about it I was off to give it a try. Good thing it comes in convenient sizes, it didn't hurt to try with the smaller tubes.

I won't say this product can do the magic for you because every skin has its own sensitivity, it could've worked good for my boy and doesn't mean same goes for other babies too. I suggest trying smaller sample sized tubes or better yet go to their site to received a free Boudreaux's Butt Paste sample.

Being PracticaI Is A Choice

This post brought to you by PBM Products. All opinions are 100% mine.

Having a baby is a serious deal when it comes to finances, that's another part of responsibility parents have to take in consideration. As parents we have to attend to all our baby's needs and for some people money can be a serious issue. Having to buy diapers and formula can really cost a lot but lucky are those who breastfeed their baby because this alone can save them big time.

Parents should never compromise their baby's health by all means that's why there's a federally-funded health and nutrition program to help lower income families with this matter. It is called the WIC or Women,Infants and Children Supplemental Nutrition Program. There's no discrimination with this program, people of any race, color, nationality, sex, age or disability are all welcome to apply for it. It aims to help women who are pregnant, breastfeeding or who just had a baby; children under 5yrs old and families with low to medium income.

WIC can help every family in many ways like the support checks to buy healthy foods from WIC authorized stores to get their basic needs most especially food items, provide information about nutrition and health, provide support to breastfeeding moms and help finding health care and other community services. WIC provides practical supplementation to every family's needs most especially those who are getting too little income.

Being practical is a choice and that's how WIC manages to sustain the needs of those who seek aid from them. Say for instance using store brand formula can provide the same nutritional needs every infant needs like the prebiotics to help support baby's immune system, DHA & ARA which may support brain and eye development and added vitamins and minerals for growth and development. Why choose brand formulas which can cost more, instead stretch your dollars and switch to generic formula. All infant formulas are subject to FDA standards, there's no way your child's health will ever be compromised. Parent's Choice formula can help you see how much you can save by making the switch, see it to believe.
