One Month | Bub

Hey dears. So Hayden is officially a month old today. Y'all time has flown by and I don't know where it has went. I cannot believe my baby is a month old already!

He is now 5lbs 15oz, drinking bottles for all feeding & completing them, & hopefully his feeding tube will be out tonight! He loves for fold his hands together & he loves to stay awake and cuddle after he eats. He also has this new thing that while I'm holding him he has to look up and check to make sure I'm still there!

I'm beyond I'm love with this kid! We cannot wait for him to be home. 

SOON!

Until next time...

Hey dears. I recently got my monthly Ipsy subscription in. If you're not sure what that is, you can check it out here. So let jump straight in and check it out. 

Ipsy Slmissglam L34 Brush: This is a blend beauty brush & you know my love for brushes!

Bahama Mama Bronzer: This one is basically self explanatory. 😀

Mannakadar Beauty Blush: I got this in the color Paradise Blush. This is what I consider the perfect shade for summer time. Cant' wait to try it out.

3 Weeks | Update

Hey dears. I just wanted to pop in an say sorry for not posting to much lately, much of my time is taken up by visiting little man. Hayden is now 3 weeks old, taking 3 bottles a day, & is 5lbs 1oz. To say we are happy is an understatement! We cannot wait to get this little guy home! He has progressed so fast it's insane. He is still currently in NICU but is now IV & oxygen free. He's also in an open crib, which means we can hold him as often and as much as we want. It's amazing to watch his personality already start to develop. He's very picky about only having breastmilk bottles instead of formula, which I guess is a good thing. He also doesn't like when the nurses mess with him. He also prefers his mom to hold him and give him his bottles vs a nurse. My hubby is currently offshore & to say it hasn't been easy is so true. I know he cannot wait to get him and see how much he has grown.

Kylie Cosmetics Collection

Hey dears. First off I'm just going to throw this out there that this post is not meant to show off or to rub anyones face in it, so don't take it as such. Now lets continue on.

You all know of my love for Kylie Jenner Lip Kits, well I have recently acquired a few more lip kits & a few other products... what can I say, oops. 

So I got one of her Kyliners in black, a burgundy Kyshadow, and her lip kits in the colors: 22, Kristen, Dirty Peach, Spice, Koko K, Leo, Merry, Posie K, Candy K, Dolce K, Exposed, & Mary Jo K.

As you can see my collection has grown quite a lot, which I'm quite happy with it. I do have a love for her products and how well they work. If you would love a good make up product & are able to spend a few extra dollars on it, it's well worth a shot.

Have you tried any of her products. If so what are you favorite ones?

Tarteist Dry Matte Lip Paint | Tarte

Hey dears. I know what you're probably thinking... another lipstick post, really?? Yes, it's another lipstick post. I know there have been a few lately, but I've had a few post waiting for a while until I was able to come home. So here it goes.

The other day I posted a Kylie Jenner lip kit post, which you can view here. I know they are a little more expensive, so here is another slightly cheaper but still great quality pick. 

These are the Tarteist Quick Dry Matte Lip Paint in the colors Bestie & Cheerleader by Tarte. There sell for $20 a piece at Sephora & are pretty amazing. Bestie is the really nude/brown color & Cheerleader is the beautiful red/pinky color. Both only take one pass with the wand & has great pigment. Stays on well throughout the day and no real need to reapply after eating. You also need a good make up remover to get these off at the end of the day.

So in my opinion they are just as great as the Kylie Jenner Lip Kits & are a few dollars cheaper. Hey a few bucks is a few bucks, right!

Spice & Dirty Peach Haul | Kylie Jenner Lip Kit

Hey dears. So I've done it again and got me a few more lip kits. What can I say they're all so pretty. This time I got my hands on Spice & Dirty Peach. Spice is this really beautiful deep rose pink color, while Dirty Peach is more nude with a hint of an orange under tone. 

Welcome To The World

Hey dears. First off, Happy New Years to you all. I hope you all had a awesome & safe new years. Our New Years was amazing, but it did not include partying or staying up all night.

The day we had been waiting for finally came last Thursday. Hayden Michael arrived in this world at 5:21pm on December 29. He was 4lbs 4oz and 16.5 inches long. To say we in love is an under statement. He is currently in the NICU but he has had multiple amazing accomplishments daily.

Day 1 he had a cpap machine in his nose to help him breath, it was at the lowest setting (which is what we breath at), it was just to aid him incase he would need it. Let's just say he did not like it what so ever and spent more time taking it out of his nose then keeping it in. He was also started on a jaundice light. It also amazes me that he knew we were mom and dad right off the bat because he won't hold anyone else hand but ours. 

Day 2 he was able to lose the cpap and go to a nasal cannula on 3L of oxygen & was able to start tube feedings with the little tube in his mouth getting 5ml every 3 hours, which he tolerated well. He was so much happier without the cpap. Today we also got to hold him for the first time which is an unreal amazing feeling. 

Day 3 he was able to go down to 2L of oxygen & they increased his feedings to 10ml every 3 hours. His jaundice levels also started to come down. We also got to see his little peepers open, it's crazy how alert he was.

Day 4 they lowered his oxygen to 1L and increased his feedings to 15mL every 3 hours and so far he's tolerating everything perfectly. Hopefully at this rate tomorrow we can be oxygen tube free and continue to up his feedings. Also his jaundice level went down more and they removed the light that was under him, but kept the light on top of him.

To say we couldn't be happier with his progress is an understatement. The nurses and doctors are amazed at how fast he's progressing for how early his was. At this rate he may be home with in a week. (fingers crossed) Mommy & daddy cannot wait to get him home.
