sweet simple & small

***I was planning to post this about a week or so before my due date but of course, Gracelyn came much quicker than expected! I follow other “mom blogs” and found this collage of favorite things to be a common occurrence in blogger world! :) I thought it was such a fun idea and I enjoyed reading them so I decided to make my very own. Here are some of the things I used while pregnant that made the ride smoother and more enjoyable! Palmer’s Cocoa Butter Tummy Rub for Stretch Marks: I really love this stuff- It’s oily and thick at first but once it’s absorbed, it feels good! I also recommend the lotion from palmer’s as well! Definitely worth a try if you would like to have a stretch mark free tummy! I have a few stretch marks near my bellybutton so I can’t say it completely saved me from stretch marks but it definitely felt soooo good when my tummy was itching! The tummy rub and lotion are both about $6 and you can find them at Wal-mart, Target or somewhere like that :)

1 Week Old Gracelyn Elida Wuerfel February 2, 2013 4:27 PM 7 lbs. 5 oz. 20.5 inches Normally I would update you on the pregnancy but now I will be doing updates on my sweet, simple, and small girl. ;) and other baby related posts! If you are one of the ones who have followed my blog from the start then I thank you! It really means a lot and makes me happy that I am able to share my life with you and completely indulge in my perfect blessing. Here’s our 1 week update!   Eating:   Breastfeeding has been going great for Gracelyn and I but it wasn’t easy! With the help of my AWESOME lactation consultant, we have really gotten the hang of it- I’m absolutely loving it. Having said that, I really give all the honor and glory to God. When I was pregnant I wanted to breastfeed more than anything and I was always worried “it just wouldn’t work.” I prayed every day that I’d be able to breastfeed with no major problems. While in the hospital, she wasn’t eating every 2 hours
