31 weeks {Happy Father's Day!}

Today we got a 4D sonogram done. It was amazing! Little man was such a ham! At first he wouldn't put his hand down away from his face, but after some rearranging (and me turning on Wagon Wheel by Darius Rucker) he was wiggling and smiling like crazy. He has chubby cheeks and the cheesiest grin plus a full head of hair. He was so photogenic that our appointment and package deal was only suppose to be for 30 images and 30 minutes. We were in the room for 50 minutes and left with 166 images!! Love this little flirt! Here is baby W at 31 weeks---

I hope all fathers, grandfathers, stepfathers, and soon-to-be fathers have a wonderful father's day tomorrow! Since it is technically Seth's first father's day I decided to do something special for him. I had bought the Diaper Dude Diaper Bag for him and was planning to give it to him the day of the shower. But instead I put together a collaboration of items and necessities with small "rules for use" of some of the items. He liked it and enjoyed laughing at some of the descriptions...even if he isn't 100% sure what all the items are really for ;) Feel free to steal the idea and some of the descriptions!


2-in-1 Mirror - So you don't freak out while driving because you can't hear him making noise - then you don't have to pull over every 5 minutes to check on him.
Diaper Bag Dispenser - For those greenish-yellow, runny, blow out diapers that you won't want to put straight into anyone's trash.
Boogie Wipes - For all those crusty boogers that you won't want to pick with your bare hands.
Ear Plugs - For those times when a baby just has to cry OR for the innocent souls around you.
Stain Remover Pen - For those runny blow outs that happen in those "he will only wear this to a nice place" expensive outfits.
Brush & Comb - To keep his hair styling like his daddy's.
Travel Changing Pad - For those inconsiderate places with no changing table OR for those drives when he blows out & you have to use your car as a restroom.
Infant Emory Boards - For those nails you will have to clip super fast while he sleeps...trust me, you won't get a smooth trim.
Baby Wipes - For diaper changes NOT for hot wings!
Hand Sanitizer - For keeping the germs off your hands when you can't make it to a sink.
