Hiking with Beluga Baby Wrap!

We took a fun little trip to beautiful Park City with some of our good friends last weekend and had such a great time! If you have ever been to Park City you know how insanely gorgeous it is there. We absolutely love all the outdoor activities that they have to offer and one of our favorites is to hike. Before we started having kids Cody and I would go hiking any chance we had, we are both outdoor people and love to be in the mountains! With river I was a little stuck because I didn’t have a carrier for her that I could use for our hikes, so we just weren’t able to do anything that summer it was a total bummer!

I was so excited when Beluga Baby and I decided to collaborate because I had always heard great things about baby wraps but I had never given any a try. I can tell you that I have been so pleased with the beluga baby wrap, they make it easy offering tutorials (here) on how to wear the wrap for different size babies. I feel like I have gotten my life back, because my clingy baby is able to hang out on my chest close to my heart while I get things done around the house and play with his big sister throughout the day! This wrap has completely changed my idea of the newborn! It has made life so much easier!

 

  

My Experience with Owlet!

Hey guys! When river was a baby I remember just grabbing a baby monitor at the store that I never used because the darn thing drove me crazy with how loud it was, it is crazy to me how advanced the technology has come in the past four years! When I found out that I was pregnant with Park’s I knew that I wanted to invest in a better quality baby monitor, but with so many to choose from it became a tedious job! Other than not having boy clothes I had pretty much everything I needed to welcome a new baby home, so I focused all my efforts into finding a good baby monitor. I spent so much time reading reviews and googling baby monitors, it was crazy! I was so fortunate to have my research point me in the direction of the Owlet baby monitor.  With hospital grade technology – pulse oximetry-  that it is designed to alert when your baby stops breathing, it was a no brainer that the owlet sleep sock would be a perfect fit for our family. I am the biggest worry wart, and add the fact that Park’s was failure to thrive I became a nervous wreck!  When you have a new baby you are already not sleeping because you are up with your baby at night to feed them, burp them etc. but for both Cody and I we were also up throughout the night checking him to make sure that he was breathing. As all new parents out there know, having a precious baby stop breathing in the middle of the night is almost always our number one worry and concern.  Having the Owlet has been like having a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and has really given me one less thing to worry about! That is why I recommend this product to every pregnant mother I know, and I have told all of my friends and family and anyone else who will listen about the owlet and how incredible it is! It is definitely a perfect baby registry item! Trust me guys, you NEED this in your life if you have a little baby or are expecting one! The set up is incredibly easy and as I say in my video you can set the whole thing up through your app and they have tutorials to educate you on the product, the proper ways to use it and the technology that is used. It has been so convenient knowing that when I put parks down in the evenings I can just check the app on my phone to tell me that his oxygen and heart rate levels are all where they need to be, it has really given me peace of mind. The owlet has been an amazing little bugger, and I can’t imagine bringing anymore babies home in the future without it. Do you have an owlet? Do you love it as much as we do?! If you are a parent like me, give owlet a try, I can promise you that you won’t be sorry! Love you guys!
