everything we’re loving for our second baby girl!

Chloe’s first #BirthdayParty outfit! 🎀🧁

The exact item is the Stella Summer Playsuit in Blossom by Jamie Kay from a past season

We packed up our beloved Halo Bassinest bassinet for the last time earlier this week — it has been a dream to use with both of our girls. While it’s the right time to move our baby to her crib in her own room, this bassinet has definitely served us well and we highly recommend it (I’m definitely in my feelings about never having another baby in our bedroom 😭). 

We have the 2.0 Luxe version but I’ve also linked the two newest styles that Halo offers. Additionally, we used their infant insert for both girls which I’ve linked as well — I recommend buying two as there WILL be spit ups and blow-outs and you’ll want a clean one.  🫣

These battery powered sconces were such perfect additions to the girls’ rooms. Super easy to install, I think the quality is pretty great (given the price), the dim setting is excellent for nighttime feeds and diaper changes in our nursery, and we love having non-overhead lighting that isn’t a standing lamp (with a dangerous power cord). 

*Note: I will say that the bulbs that come with the light fixtures have a history for being flimsy and are notorious for the piece that holds the charging cable in place breaking off and getting lost inside inside, but we ordered replacement rechargeable bulbs and have been happy with them so far!

Chloe absolutely loves this play gym! I wish had had it for Sophie too. 

#LTKBaby
I can’t believe we’re already introducing this activity table to Chloe! 🥺 This was one of Sophie’s FAVORITE things to play with and it seems like Chloe feels the same way! She’s been loving sitting up and being able to play with the toys all around her! 

#LTKBaby
Chloe is upping her formula intake which means she’s outgrowing her infant bottles — why do these kinds of small milestones sometimes feel even bigger than the developmental milestones? 😩 

We have adored these bottles for both of our girls — the nipples are pretty ergonomic(?) and parts are easy to mix-and-match, clean, and travel with. I just can’t believe it’s time to switch to the larger size already — time is a thief! 

#LTKBaby
We are already big fans of the Stokke Tripp Trapp high chair, but this is our first time using the infant attachment and we have been loving it! Chloe can join us at the table and we can have our hands free to eat our meals. These high chairs are one of our favorite items for our littles because they can literally grow with them — such a clever design! 

#LTKKids #LTKBaby
This has been one of my favorite products to put our babies in when not carrying or wearing them. The girls have both loved it too! It’s a great spot for babies to sit propped up [while supervised] after eating (to avoid reflux) and for the parent to be hands free for a bit.

Right now Chloe really enjoys being in her bouncer while placed close enough to the dangling parts of her play gym to kick them around. I know she’ll love properly bouncing in it as she grows, just like her older sister did!

#LTKBaby
Oh my goodness, I had forgotten how much fun it is for baby to kick around under a play gym and make some noise with the dangling pieces! Chloe has been having a ball sitting in her little bouncer seat kicking at the Lovevery Sensory Strands addition to her play gym while I do tasks like fold laundry. I highly recommend this sensory play for baby (and for a few minutes hands-free for mama! 😅). 

#LTKBaby
I’m doing a LOT more baby-wearing with my second baby because I need to be hands-free while I chase my toddler around. 🤪 Chloe is a big fan (and I have to say, I don’t mind the constant cuddles 🥹)!

I love the light, neutral color that will “work with” any outfit, the nubby texture of the fabric, the comfort of the fit, AND the fact that it’s machine washable!

#LTKBump #LTKBaby
I know it’s silly to get shoes for babies, but I couldn’t resist these! I had something similar for Sophie (that looked like tiny Keds! 🥹) and they were in heavy rotation so I know I’ll get a lot of use out of these cuties with Chloe. I think they’ll go with so much of her Jamie Kay wardrobe! 

#LTKBaby
I almost forgot to capture this little bean in our little heirloom bow swaddle before she outgrows it! 💕🎀 Such a sweet way to wrap your babe and it’s especially perfect for newborn photos. There are many different ribbon shades and a few ribbon fabrics to choose from (plus, they’re monogrammable!) — we have the “Southern Blush Silk” option. 

#LTKBaby #LTKBump
I wish I had known about these footie pajamas with my first baby! The magnetic closure makes them a dream product for newborn parents — I LOVE a double zipper, but this design is my new favorite, especially for those middle-of-the-night diaper changes! 
They offer a variety of fabrics, colors and prints, but this pointelle fabric in color “tofu” is my favorite. I even bought a few spares for the inevitable blowouts so I always have a clean one. 😂 

*New Parent Note: these are also -perfect- for doctor appointments so you don’t have to deal with fussier outfits.

#LTKBump #LTKBaby
For any mamas that are choosing to feed their babies formula: I shared a blog post today with all of our bottle feeding favorites, including details on how to suppress lactation (read: dry up your milk supply) and what items to include in your hospital bag for delivery and recovery! 

#LTKBaby #LTKBump
The glitz and glamour of postpartum ✨ Today on the blog I shared my most recommended #postpartum products — why I love them and tips for how I use them! Linked my essentials here, but more options are shared in the post. #LTKmom

#LTKBump #LTKBaby
Sharing what I put in our Labor & Delivery Nurse Thank-You Baskets! I tried to do a mix of snacks and non-edible options so that the nurses can choose what they want out of it. Obviously, I went with a pink theme for Baby Girl! 🎀💕
(I know the hand sani and lip balms are a bit pricey, but I scored them at a lower price during the Sephora sale and only got 3 of each product for both baskets).

My hospital bag for labor & delivery + a sneak peek of Baby Girl’s nursery ! 💕🎀🐇

We were relieved to [re]discover that our UppaBaby Mesa V2 infant car seat is still valid until September of 2027! I gave it a thorough cleaning (vacuumed out all crumbs, washed all padding, etc.) and it looks as good as new. 
We’re all set for baby to arrive now! I love that I can manage this car seat with one hand, especially since I also have a toddler to keep my eyes on. 😅 We’ll install the base in the car soon so that we have it all prepared for whenever baby girl decides to arrive.

#LTKbaby
Travel baby monitor! My favorite features are: (1) no wifi or app needed — just plug in and go! (2) the camera offers night vision and (3) the display monitor range can reach 1000ft from the camera so you can still watch your babe from a little ways away! 

#LTKkids #LTKbaby
Our baby formula travel setup! 🍼

#LTKtravel #LTKbaby
We loved these bottles for feeding Sophie and are really hoping that Baby #2 takes to them in the same way. 🤞🏼
These are so easy to disassemble to clean, reassemble, and we love how functional the parts are (nipples and lid attachments can be swapped out, silicone pieces compressed for travel to minimize number of bottles needed, etc). Really hoping that Baby Girl loves them as much as Sophie did because they’re awesome! 🍼

#LTKbaby
Oh my god — this is our favorite baby-related item that we’ve ever treated ourselves to! This bottle maker has honestly been a game changer for mixing bottles (ESPECIALLY in the wee hours of the night!!). 🍼

#LTKBump #LTKBaby
Our #LTKkitchen formula station makes me so happy — today we did the first (of many) bottle sanitization sessions while we prep for baby’s arrival! 

This setup really saved us during Sophie’s first year and I’m so grateful to be able to use them again for Baby Girl! 🍼

#LTKhome #LTKbaby
Our formula / baby bottle setup isn’t necessary, but it’s such a nice-to-have! These appliances make our lives SO MUCH EASIER… and both bottle maker & sterilizer are currently on sale for #PrimeDay !

#LTKFamily #LTKBaby
Once we bought Squid Socks for Sophie we’ve never gone back! They’re so brilliant and actually STAY ON (if you’re a parent, you understand this struggle). Of course, we had to stock up for our new baby! We definitely continue to buy them for our #LTKtoddler as well — she calls them her “sticky socks” and we love that the silicone texture on the bottom keeps her from slipping around on our wood floors. 

#LTKbaby
Sophie loved her Ryan & Rose pacifiers, so we’re hoping that Baby Girl will enjoy them as well! My next task is to put them through the silicone sanitization process.

#LTKbaby
Repeating these excellent baby bath essentials with our second Baby Girl! 🛁🧼🫧 We still use a lot of the same things with Sophie, but I’m starting to gather the items she’s grown out of / no longer needs (like the gentle cradle cap scalp scrubber) for the new baby. 

#LTKbaby
I pulled out our infant bathtub today to make sure it’s all ready for baby’s (eventual) first bath and I had forgotten how much we love this bathtub! It collapses to being nearly completely flat (excellent for storage and easy to remove so that our toddler can take her baths in the actual tub), has an easy-empty drain in the bottom, and you can put baby on the other side once they’re able to sit up on their own so it kind of "grows with them”. Highly recommend if you’re in the market for an infant bathtub! 🫧🛁

#LTKbaby
I forgot to share this before we went to the hospital for our induction, but here’s Chloe’s bassinet setup in our bedroom!

We LOVED the Halo Bassinest Luxe bassinet with our first baby and we kept it to use again with our second baby; highly recommend! (I don’t know if this cream colorway is still available since this is from 2021, but the model is still a best seller!)

#LTKBaby
Both of our girls have LOVED these lightly weighted sleep sacks. The little egg shape has a bit of weight and feels like a parent’s hand gently resting on their chest or back while they’re sleeping and provides comfort all throughout the night. We have a variety of options with different TOGs for different seasons. 


*like all things parenting: use at your own discretion*

#LTKBaby
We have loved our Owlet Sock & Cam for Sophie so it made sense to continue with the Owlet brand for our new baby as well! Since Sophie doesn’t need or use her Owlet Sock anymore, Baby Girl will inherit that, but we bought another Owlet Cam to mount above baby’s crib. 

We can watch both girls by toggling between them in the same app. 🛌 As parents, these devices really give us invaluable peace of mind — highly recommend!

#LTKbaby
We’re starting to get Baby Girl’s room ready for her arrival! 🐇🎀 Even though she’ll be in a bassinet in our room for the first few months, we still want to have her room ready! Her crib setup is just about complete now — just need to install her Owlet Cam and we’ll be all set. 

#LTKbaby #LTKhome
We bought a Newton breathable crib mattress (with waterproof cover) for our new baby girl after having such a positive experience with the one we bought for Sophie almost three years ago. We can’t recommend these mattresses enough! I was assembling the baby’s crib today and noticed that Newton is currently offering a 20% off sale (no code required!).
