product review

So I have finally gotten all of my Judah purchases. A friend's husband took a trip to the US and was willing to bring back an extra piece of luggage for our family. Most of the items for were the boys. I loaded it up to get my moneys worth. :) So now I have each of the things I ordered and I thought I would give a little review. Of course this is the pre-use review so as I use each thing I can let you know if I feel the same or have changed my opinion. Plus there is something I had made here so I thought I would include that as well.

Nursing Cover:
Although the color was a little different than I expected I still like it. Without having used it I think it covers well and has the boning at the neck for easy observation of the baby. I compared it to a the nursing cover of a friend who has a more mainstream brand, and they were nearly identical. The quality was the same so I feel confident washing and care will be easy.


Crawler Covers:
This was such a great deal and I couldn't be happier with how they turned out. I paid $22 and got 4 pair and free shipping. There were so many colors and designs to choose from. They are a great thickness, especially because I will be using them primarily as long underwear for Judah during the cold months. They are even long enough I could put them on Bennett (and Kirby for that matter). This will be great with Bennett just learning to use the potty, he won't have to worry about pulling down an extra layer.


Wee Wubbys:
These lovey blankets turned out just as I wanted. The quality is great! The seams will definitely hold up to many washings and I love that they come as a pair. So cute and just what I was looking for. They are a great size and if Judah gets attached to it like my other boys they will be great for several years.


Since we aren't really fixing Judah a nursery (his dresser and bed will be in the guest room) I'm trying to add a few things to make it more like a babies' room. We won't have a changing table but I wanted to get a changing pad made to put on the bed to protect the quilt from direct diaper mishaps. We have some foam that we are going to glue plastic to and then I had some covers made. This shows the start of it, I want to do a little more work to make it fit better.


This is a close up of the two different fabrics I used--cats and dogs and different types of balls. I also had two receiving blankets made, one out of each fabric. It's a really soft flannel fabric similar to what you can buy in the States. They made all 4 in about 15 minutes and the total cost was less than $5. I hope the changing pad turns out like I have it pictured in my head.
