Celebrate Those #MilestoneMoments With Pampers + $150 Toys R Us Gift Card Giveaway

I received compensation in the form of a Babies R' Us gift card from P&G in exchange for this post. All my opinions are my own.

 

The day I found out my husband and I were expecting our first child, I was both thrilled and scared to death.  I had always wanted to have a baby and be a mom, but so many scenarios started racing through my head.  That day was one of the happiest and scariest days of my life.

Newborns don't come with an instruction manual, or book of tips that work and don't work.  Would I be able to handle all of the situations that would arise?  I quickly learned that a method that worked one day might not work the next, and that motherhood was all about learning.

Motherhood also comes with a lifetime of #MilestoneMoments!  From baby's first smile, their first time sleeping through the night, rolling over, crawling, their first word, walking, their first birthday, their first day of school, their first loose tooth, and the list goes on.

Every mom quickly realizes the importance of a reliable diaper.  There's nothing more frustrating that having a "blow out" in the car seat, shopping cart, crib, or even at the park.  it's a messy job, but it doesn't have to be.  

 

That’s why when choosing to wrap your baby’s bottom you’ll want to pick up Swaddlers, Pampers softest diaper and the #1 choice among hospitals.  Available up to size 5 at Babies “R”Us, their knowledgeable experts can help you choose the perfect fit for your precious little bundle of joy. 

Pampers Swaddlers Available Up To Size 5 At Toys R Us and Babies R Us:

 

• With up to 12 hours of overnight protection, Swaddlers help you make your baby as comfortable as possible.
• Swaddlers color-changing wetness indicator makes it easy for you to tell when your baby might be ready for a change.  This will be especially helpful in the middle of the night when you can barely keep your eyes open.
• Swaddlers give your baby comfort and protection they’ll love for even longer.
• Swaddlers Super Economy Pack and Economy Plus Pack are now available (online only)

Here are a few things I wish I would have known before becoming a mommy:

• Almost everything in your life will change - for the better!  Being a mom is an adventure and experience that has made me a better person.
• Patience is the key!  When you get to the point of exhaustion, and you will, take a few moments for you!  Lock yourself in the bedroom or the bathroom and just breathe.
• You’ll never be fully prepared!  Just take things one day at a time, do your best, and roll with the punches.
• You will encounter people who don’t approve of or agree with your parenting choices! Trust me, everyone you know is going to have advice for you and what you "should" and shouldn't do with you baby.  Family, friends, and even strangers will be offering up their tips and tricks, some of them when you don't even ask.  My best piece of advice is to say, thank you with a smile and do what works for you!
