I wholeheartedly agree with your purchase of the UPPABaby Vista stroller. It is so durable and easy to re-rig to tote around two littles at once!
New moms are so cute. I mean that in the best way. Congrats!! I don’t even remember all the things I thought I couldn’t live without. It was advertised as necessary for the survival of my newborn (and myself) so how could I say no? Author Dawn Dais has a few good reads so you can REALLY prepare for all those wonderful moments ahead… One bit of advice with your baby bath? I’d opt for something in a 1pc plastic “if it’s covered in poop I’d rather throw it away than have to wash that too” price range. There’s rubber duckies with temp sensors for about $6, worst case you use your wrist. :)
Thanks so much for these tips, Maija! :)
Interesting list, Kelly!
