So, I know it’s not about me (kind-of…) but all the baby books I have are terribly lame and boring. No offense to Snuggle Puppy and Knuffle Bunny, but if I’m going to be reading these every night, I’d like to be at least a little entertained. The one book I’m still in love with [...]

Whatchemebob Wednesday–Baby Carriers
Posted in Whatchemebob Wednesdays, tagged Baby carriers, Bjorn, Ergo, moby, sling on October 14, 2009 | 2 Comments »
The word is you need three of these: sling, small carrier, and large carrier. So here are the parent favorites in each category. The moby sling has gotten rave reviews from all the moms I know. It looks complicated, but evidently, it’s not too bad, and can be used a bit longer than the regular [...]
Whatchemebob Wednesday–Saving Whatchemebobs
Posted in Whatchemebob Wednesdays, tagged Bjorn, Craigslist, pack n play, used baby items on September 30, 2009 | 1 Comment »
There are certain things most people want new for their babies… you know, new diapers, stuff like that. Maybe a changing pad. But there are lots of things you can get used. After my shower, I took matters into my own hands and went on Craigslist. I have gotten to date: a Bjorn, an organic [...]
Whatchemebob Wednesday–Rockers/Swings
Posted in Whatchemebob Wednesdays, tagged Baby Brentwood, baby swing, cradle swing, Fisher Price, Pregnancy, rocker on September 23, 2009 | 1 Comment »
After an exhaustive search of these rather pricey items, I found a few that were highly rated and not hideous in person. There are two issues: one is space. The other is function. If you have plenty of space, the best automatic swing/rocker is the Fisher Price Papasan Cradle Swing. But man, this thing is [...]
Whatchemebob Wednesday-Car Seats

There are some ground rules that you may or may not know about… All newborn people need a car seat. All newborn people need their car seats to face backward. And, the car seat must go backward until the baby is age one. Other California rules and reasons why we aren’t allowed to let our [...]
Whatchemebob Wednesday: Men’s Diaper Bags
Posted in Whatchemebob Wednesdays, tagged husbands, men's diaper bag, Pregnancy on August 19, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
Since we’re focusing on husbands this week, let’s keep the trend going. The little cottage industry of men’s baby bags has really grown in the past few years, and although a husband can simply use a messenger bag to throw all of baby’s junk into, it’s fun to have a special bag for him. If [...]
Whatchemebob Wednesday-Surviving Summer
Posted in Whatchemebob Wednesdays, tagged evening wear, maternity dresses, Pregnancy, Spanx Momma on August 12, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
With summer comes the necessity of dresses. Pregnancy, it turns out, is not the best time to show off one’s figure (and if it is for you, I really don’t want to hear about it). To cover some unfortunate bumps and water-weight-related skin bubbles, I suggest using Spanx Momma under any day or evening dress. [...]
Whatchemebob Wednesdays-Crib Bumpers
Posted in Whatchemebob Wednesdays, tagged crib bumpers, Dwell Studio, Etsy on August 6, 2009 | Leave a Comment »
*(One day late because we had to take a little trip to the hospital yesterday! Am OK, will tell all tomorrow).* Who knew these little crib bedding systems were so pricey? It’s pretty standard, evidently to pay about $400 for the combo of bumper, skirt, fitted and flat sheet and pillow/pillow case. It seems insane [...]
