Isn’t it great when your children reach milestones?
Unfortunately, there are some that I wish our little one wouldn’t meet.
Just last night she unfastened one side of her disposable diaper.
It makes me pretty glad that most of our cloth diapers have snaps, instead of velcro, so it should take her a little bit longer to figure them out.
Every since I’ve had my baby, I haven’t been wearing lipstick as much as usual, because I don’t like getting lipstick all over her.
I’ve almost completely given up on glosses - unless I’m going in to work (which I do for a couple of hours every week or so) I don’t even wear it at all.
What’s your favorite transfer proof or kiss proof lipstick?
Why do you like it so much?
Oh - and if you leave a comment discussing your favorite kissproof lipcolor (or lack of one) before the Cosmetique giveaway ends on April 30, go ahead and add a comment with “Bonus entry #1″ on the Cosmetique Review and Giveaway post.
I really can’t wait to hear what you have to say!
I want to wear lipstick again.
I had my little girl Saturday night.
I wanted an October baby, but not a Halloween baby, so of course she was born on Halloween, but that’s fine.
My birthday is so close to the holidays that I didn’t want her to have to deal with a birthday on a holiday, but I’m sure she’ll be fine with it.
Both of us are doing well, and of course she is adorable.
We were in such a rush, that when I told my husband that I had to get some makeup, he told me to just take the whole case, so we did.
I wasn’t going to put any on, but then I got bored, and it helped take my mind of the contractions when they were still mild.
Of course, it had all worn off by the time the baby was born at 10:44pm, and I didn’t put any more on until today - the day after we came home from the hospital.
Did you wear makeup when you were giving birth?
Did you take makeup to the hospital?
If you haven’t, do you plan on it?
I just got back from my 37 week appointment with my ob/gyn.
The baby is doing great, and my doctor said that we could have a baby next week.
I knew that she’d be fine if she was born after 38 weeks, but I guess I never really thought that she’d be early since I was late.
I’m excited :-).
I can’t wait to meet her, but we’ve still got a lot to do to get ready for her, although things would be fine if she came now - well, after I pack the hospital bag of course.
No, I haven’t forgotten to tell you that I’ve had a baby, but I have been using Johnson’s Head to Toe Fragrance Free Baby Lotion for about 4 months now.
I’d been looking for a paraben free hand lotion without an overwhelming scent, when I saw an ad for it in a baby magazine.
The next time I was at Target I found it, and got it.
The lotion is nice, although it’s not as moisturizing as my usual hand lotions, but I probably wouldn’t want to use something that moisturizing on a baby anyways.
I do have to reapply this a little bit more frequently than I apply most hand lotions, but that really isn’t a problem for me.
The lotion does have a slight fragrance, which I’ve never really noticed until just now, when I sniffed it so I could tell you if it had a fragrance.
Johnson’s Head to Toe Fragrance Free Baby Lotion doesn’t smell bad like some fragrance free products do.
My only problem with this lotion is that it’s really hard to open the flip top.
That might be great for you if you’ve got kids that you don’t want to get into the lotion, but even after using this for 4 months, I still have to use both hands to open the bottle, which can get rather annoying.
Just this morning my husband was laughing at me, because without thinking I placed the bottle of lotion on my belly so I could open it.
Other than these problems the lotion is great, and I love that it’s non scented.
I’ll definitely keep this around for me, and for the baby when she comes.
I’ve heard it all before - when you’re pregnant your hair will be longer and thicker, your nails will grow faster and stronger, and you’re skin will glow.
Unfortunately, the only one of those that’s come true so far is the glowing skin, which unfortunately is due to excess oil production.
Of course I did have a friend say that I looked like I was glowing - then in the next sentence she said it was because my face looked fuller, which meant I was having a girl.
Of course she was right about the girl, but I’d already told her I was having a girl.
My face and hair were oilier during the first trimester - in fact excessively oily hair was one of the first pregnancy symptoms I had.
Of course I didn’t connect that with being pregnant until after I realized I was pregnant.
My hair is normal now - I don’t know if it’s due to a change in shampoo, or if it’s just evened out, and my skin is drier now.
Who knows what will happen after I have the baby.
I am very happy that I haven’t had any breakouts while I was pregnant, although some pregnant women do get pimples.
During my first trimester I didn’t feel like putting any makeup on - partly it was because I felt bad, and partly because I didn’t want any extra chemicals on my body during such an important stage of the baby’s growth.
During the middle of the second trimester though, I felt like wearing makeup again, so I resumed my normal makeup habits.
Every now and then I’ll wonder about something being ok for a mom to wear (like jet black liquid eye liner, which I hardly wore before I got pregnant), but that was worse during the first trimester, and isn’t so bad now.
I’ve always taken vitamins off and on, so I think that’s probably why I don’t see faster hair and nail growth.
Of course I have noticed that I’m shedding more than usual - or maybe I’m just noticing it more now.
During this pregnancy all the beauty bonuses have definitely been myths.
Were they true for you when you were pregnant?
How about yoru friends?
Having a baby is an exciting time.
All sorts of changes are happening, and we’re preparing to bring a new life into the world.
Although most people are happy for us, and want to experience the joys of pregnancy, I’m surprised that some people seem to want me to be miserable.
For at least a month, the first thing my mother-in-law said every time she spoke to me was “Have you puked yet?” No, I hadn’t puked, but I was still so sick at the time that her asking me if I puked made me want to puke.
Of course I didn’t tell her that, because I figured it would make her happy.
I actually told a few people (with her sitting right there) that I thought she would have been pretty disappointed if I didn’t puke.
She kept that up for a while, and then when I did start puking, she’d tell me how lucky I was because her daughter puked during her whole pregnancy, and puked while she was at work.
Who cares? I knew all of this already, and the only reason I told her I puked ws because she asked.
I wasn’t complaining because I was puking, but I wasn’t going to lie to her and say I didn’t puke when I did.
After that stage, she started asking if the baby was moving enough to keep me up all night, and when I said “No,” she gleefully said “She will.”
So far, it still hasn’t happened yet, (and she finally quit asking) and I hope it doesn’t.
I’m having enough trouble sleeping, because I can’t get comfortable, I don’t need the baby to add to the problems.
I can see asking about the baby, or asking if the baby is moving yet, but why constantly ask if I’m puking, or if the baby’s keeping me up all night?
What purpose does it serve?
I don’t think that I’m such an evil daughter-in-law that she wants to see me miserable, but who knows?
Life, Love, Beauty…and a little bit more!
