With the recent arrival of my beautiful baby niece, it suddenly struck me that my own baby girl will arrive in 10 short weeks! To date, purchasing two “little sis” outfits has been the extent of our preparation. At this point in my first pregnancy, Alayna's adorable pink outfits were washed and hung nicely in her closet. The baby room was painted (twice actually,...

Throughout my pregnancy, I (mostly intentionally) didn't take very many photos of my growing belly. This being my first child, I guess I was admittedly a little self conscious about growing out of the same jeans I'd been wearing since high-school, and I wasn't all gung-ho to document that. Despite having always wanted kids, I remember telling my husband when we found out the...

Boy and Dog None of us get everything we wish for in life, but one thing I hit the jackpot on was getting a girl and a boy in only two tries. I never thought I wanted children until I reached my late 20's and around that time I realized that being a mom would be an experience I'd like to have. I didn't...

I can't help but wonder if a night during which I sent my kids to bed early in exasperation is the best night to start my very first 'Mothers of Melondipity' blog contribution. It's not the kind of night that makes one feel like a rousing success as a mother, but I know we've all had nights like these. Whatever the reason (for us,...

When my husband, Brett, and I found out that we were expecting our first child, there wasn't even a moment when we considered not finding out the gender of our little one as soon as possible (we're all set to welcome our little girl March 1st!). We must be the impatient type though. Despite the relative ease of determining the sex of a baby...

Sun hats aren't just cute and colorful, they're also practical. Some ways to keep your baby safe in the sun include limiting time spent outdoors during the hours between 10:00AM and 2:00PM, when the sun is at its brightest, applying sunscreen regularly, and making sure to cover up your little one sun-protective clothing, like a cool, wide-brim baby hat.
