What is Stitch Fix?</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
For this Fix, I asked for pieces that would transition my wardrobe into fall as well as a pair of everyday jeans that were not distressed and a pair of colored jeans. My stylist did not disappoint! I really felt like she listened to me, got my style and fulfilled my requests. I still have my account set so that I don't receive accessories which I love because then I get more clothing options. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is what I got:</div>

I decided to keep all the items in this fix! The jeans both fit great and don't even need to be hemmed. For a girl who is short, this is a big deal! :) When you get all the items in a fix, you save 25%, often resulting in a free item! This time getting all 5 items saved me over $80!</div>

<b><u>Stats:</u></b><br />
Weight:<br />
<b><u><br /></u></b>
<b><u>Clothes:</u></b> Calvin is wearing 6-9 month and 9 month clothes and size 3 diapers. He has been borrow a bunch of clothes that Grayson wore so between those and Christian's hand me downs, Calvin's wardrobe is full of memories!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yJMoQKKyYnc/VhctxaIMZuI/AAAAAAAACoU/1OkDsHOeLwk/s1600/DSC_0869.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-yJMoQKKyYnc/VhctxaIMZuI/AAAAAAAACoU/1OkDsHOeLwk/s320/DSC_0869.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><u>Eating:</u></b> Calvin is all about feeding himself this month. I feel like meals should be promptly followed by a bath! This was the month of introducing more finger foods. He loves cut up banana, pear and avocado, rice, quinoa, cut up sweet potato, pastina, lentils, toast, puffs, teething biscuits, and little creamies. He is still on a no dairy and egg diet. We tried to add in dairy this month and poor buddy had a rough few days. :(<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r0WCacv-WtQ/VhctxsiSNOI/AAAAAAAACoY/I-m2nlkSeR8/s1600/DSC_0875.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-r0WCacv-WtQ/VhctxsiSNOI/AAAAAAAACoY/I-m2nlkSeR8/s320/DSC_0875.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<b><u>Sleep:</u></b> Calvin takes two naps a day, around 9:30 and 1:30, each lasting 1-2 hours. He goes to bed at night by 7:30 and usually eats once in the early morning and wakes up for the day around 7:30. I think he has been teething or going through a growth spurt because the night wakings have been increased to 2 or 3 times a night recently. Cal also only wants to be put to bed by me :)<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0GcNoEMoKfQ/VhctzGTCkXI/AAAAAAAACoo/dtznKu26bhE/s1600/DSC_0877.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-0GcNoEMoKfQ/VhctzGTCkXI/AAAAAAAACoo/dtznKu26bhE/s320/DSC_0877.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<b><u>Playtime and Activities:</u></b> Now that Calvin can sit, crawl, and stand while holding on to things, he is so active! He lives his activity table, activity cube, exersaucer and just being given a bin of toys. Bubbles are the best thing in his mind and we have started doing some art activities which has been really fun. He is starting to not like being in his jumper anymore and would rather just be crawling around and exploring!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wjhyAqWjZY8/VhctzD17HTI/AAAAAAAACos/diTmvsnF_z0/s1600/DSC_0880.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="214" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-wjhyAqWjZY8/VhctzD17HTI/AAAAAAAACos/diTmvsnF_z0/s320/DSC_0880.JPG" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><u>Development:</u></b> Calvin is crawling everywhere, sitting, standing while holding on to something and starting to master pulling himself up to stand. He now has two teeth, waves bye bye, gives kisses and has no interest in doing sign language. :) We "think" he said his first word this month… and of course it was… Dada! When Kerry got home from work, he picked up Cal and Cal said "Dada!" I think I am in denial that both my boys have said Dada before Mama.<br />

<br />
<b><u>Firsts and Fun:</u></b><br />
* Standing<br />
* Two teeth<br />
* Started MOPS<br />
* Stayed with Nana and Papa while we spent a weekend in Vegas!<br />

<b><u>Clothes:</u></b> Calvin is currently wearing a combination of 6 month, 6-9 month and 9 month sleepers. He has also moved up to size three diapers.<br />

<br />
<b><u>Eating:</u></b> This kids loves to eat and will eat just about anything that he is given! He used a straw cup this month for the first time and is eating three meals a day. Currently he is eating: breast milk, sweet potato, carrots, apples, prunes, blueberries, zucchini, spinach, peas, green beans, banana, avocado, chicken, apricots, peaches…. He is still having purees for his meals but will eat puffs and coconut milk creamies as well. These have been a godsend so that I can take a quick bite of my own meal in-between feeding him!<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><u>Sleep:</u></b> I somehow managed to score an amazing sleeper this go around! If you remember anything about Christian's sleep habits, I think we deserved a little reprieve with this child! Calvin is taking two naps a day, usually for 1 1/2- 2 hours each. HIs first wake time is 2 hours and his second wake time is 2 1/2 hours. He goes to bed around 7:30 and sometimes wakes up at 6:00/6:30 to eat but usually goes back to sleep for another hour. At the very end of this month he has been fighting a double ear infection (again!) so he hasn't been sleeping quite as well but this is his normal pattern.<br />

<br />
<b><u>Playtime and Activities:</u></b> It has been so fun to watch Calvin discover how he can play with his toys in a whole new way, thanks to his new found skill of sitting! He is loving his large activity cube and stacking and knocking over blocks. He also can army crawl around to explore which he thinks is pretty neat. He still loves the exersaucer but no longer plays much on the activity mat. Calvin spent a week at the cabin this month and enjoyed being out by the lake.<br />
<br />

<b><u>Development:</u></b> Calvin finally got the hang of sitting just at the end of this last month. He is army crawling everywhere and hardly ever stays still. He is working on his two bottom teeth but none have poked through so far. He is also starting to wave "bye bye" and will give big, open mouth, slobbery kisses. He is jabbering a lot and repeating consonants but no official words yet!<br />

I really love when I hear that my next <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/referral/3897374" target="_blank">Stitch Fix</a> is coming. For this fix, I asked for items for my upcoming weekend away in Vegas with the hubby. It was so fun to reeve clothes for a specific trip and my stylist did a great job at giving me a variety of looks and options that would fit our trip. </div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>41HAWTHORN Walt Skirt</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kept!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
This skirt ended up being one of my favorite pieces. One of my favorite parts was that my stylist suggested that I dress it down with the Market and Spruce Sam High Low Tee for a more casual look but also suggested another Fun2FUn lace top that I had received in a previous fix for a more dressy look. They know my wardrobe, how cool is that?!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UIAEs23R_Zg/Vfj6QgZncXI/AAAAAAAACmI/fzoB1snLPNw/s1600/IMG_3681.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-UIAEs23R_Zg/Vfj6QgZncXI/AAAAAAAACmI/fzoB1snLPNw/s320/IMG_3681.jpg" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Skies are Blue Anya Split Neck Blouse</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kept!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I loved this top and thought I could throw a cardigan over it and still be able to wear it into the fall. The pattern was really fun and this was Kerry's favorite.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pgxWLbSS81A/Vfj6SbTDfcI/AAAAAAAACmo/BmDAVkLJ5CE/s1600/IMG_3683.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-pgxWLbSS81A/Vfj6SbTDfcI/AAAAAAAACmo/BmDAVkLJ5CE/s320/IMG_3683.jpg" width="240" /></a><br />
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u><br /></u></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Papermoon Violetta Scalloped Blouse</u></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kept!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I couldn't get a good picture of this one to show the detail but I loved the back as the top layer split. This top was a great price when I got all 5 items with the discount so I kept it. It will be a fin top to add into the summer/spring rotation.</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Skies are Blue Textured Short</u></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kept- after discount they were free!</div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Ok I still don't know about these shorts but they were free after my 25% discount after keeping all five items. I think they could still be cute with the right outfit but they are out of my comfort zone. I guess Vegas it the place to try them and I can see why my stylist added them to this fix.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fznV37gCE28/Vfj6SAEq1hI/AAAAAAAACmc/iVYL8zv7xio/s1600/IMG_3682.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="240" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-fznV37gCE28/Vfj6SAEq1hI/AAAAAAAACmc/iVYL8zv7xio/s320/IMG_3682.jpg" width="320" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<u>Market and Spruce Same High Low Tee</u></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Kept!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I didn't get a good picture of this one but This tee is a great basic. It was a bit more expensive than I would normally choose but I can really dress it up or down and I think it will become a staple in my closet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
So overall, I think this was another win! I did keep all five items. I am finding that if you really like three of the items then the other two basically pay for themselves ha! I am now updating my pinterest board for fall and am looking forward to some new looks for the new season. If you haven't tried it yet, I encourage you to try <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/referral/3897374" target="_blank">Stitch Fix</a>!</div>

<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
<b><u>Stats:</u></b><br />
Weight 15.2 lbs<br />
<br />
<b><u>Clothes:</u></b> Calvin is wearing 6 month clothes with a few 6-9 month shirts thrown into the mix. He is still sporting his size 2 diapers in the awesome patterns of rockstar guitars, bananas and baseballs. :) I love the Honest Company patterns!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dJS735j_wEY/Veu26N8ES9I/AAAAAAAACjA/eY754cF6Ves/s1600/DSC_0755.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="320" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-dJS735j_wEY/Veu26N8ES9I/AAAAAAAACjA/eY754cF6Ves/s320/DSC_0755.JPG" width="214" /></a></div>
<br />
<b><u>Eating:</u></b> Calvin really loves food, he doesn't always eat a lot of but I have yet to find a food that he doesn't like. It is always a messy production during eating times too because he is very anti-bib. Try and put a bib on this kid and it is instantly in his mouth, covering his entire face. He is eating: breast milk, oatmeal, bananas, mango, pear, prunes, applesauce, carrots, avocado, peas, butternut squash, green beans and sweet potato. We tried a small piece of a puff once that didn't go over so well so we are sticking to purees for now. He usually eats 2 "meals" a day<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><u>Sleep:</u></b> He takes 3 naps a day, sometimes only 2 if they are long or he sleeps in late, He has been taking a solid 1 1/2- 2 hour morning nap and his wake time is 2 -2 1/2 hours. Cal goes to sleep around 8 and usually is up for the day around 7 or 8. He wakes up 1- 2 times per night to eat usually in the early morning. He is now sleeping in his new wearable blanket.<br />

<br />
<b><u>Playtime and Activities:</u></b> Poor guy spent a big chunk of this month being sick with bronchiolitis and ear infections so we spent a lot of the month at home trying to get better. (Christian was also sick with a different virus!) With the warm weather, we try to get out as much as possible to the park or just play in the pool in our backyard. Calvin went on a swing for the first time and loved it! He was almost lulled to sleep! :) He loves to play in the exersaucer and jumper and exploring while he rolls around on his tummy.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b><u>Development:</u></b> Calvs has got the roll to move down! He does not stay in one place for very long and rolls to get to toys, people, etc. He will also turn in a circle while on his tummy. We are still working on sitting as he just doesn't get the hang of that yet so we practice everyday. No teeth yet but I keep expecting to see them any day.<br />

<b><u>Clothes: </u></b>Calvin is wearing 6 month clothes and size 2 diapers. Even though some 3-6 month clothes fit, I boxed them all up at once so I don't have multiple sizes out at once.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br /></div>
<b><u>Eating: </u></b>Hello World of Solid Foods! While Calvin is mostly getting just breast milk, he got his first taste of real food this past month. It was actually a funny story- well it is funny now looking back on it… At Calvin's six month appointment, we got the green light to try and put him into child care- he was still susceptible to get sick easily since he was a preemie but we were finally out of the height of RSV and flu season. So the following Sunday we had a member meeting and I decided to put Calvin upstairs in child care with a mission team who was watching kids. When I picked him up an hour later, the sweet girl smiled and said "He got a little fussy so we gave him his fruit and veggie pouch and he was much happier!" I am sure a look of panic washed over my face… fruit and veggie pouch?! I stumbled out that he had never had any food before but its ok, grabbed Calvin and quickly walked to Kerry where I just started to cry. :( I was just in shock that my sweet baby had eaten one of Christian's pouches that contained about 8 different foods including kale, mango, apple and chia seeds! He was totally fine but what a way to be introduced to foods! Ha! We have his tummy a week to recover before we tried some rice cereal and banana. I was also given the go ahead to try and add back in egg to my diet but Calvin's tummy was a hot mess with that so once again we took a week off of solids after I took egg back out. So Calvin's intro into the world of foods has been adventurous and exciting. Officially, now he is eating breast milk, oatmeal, banana and avocado.<br />
<br />

<b><u>Sleep:</u></b> Calvin has gotten into a pretty good groove, which I am enjoying while it is here because I know everything will probably change in two weeks! He sleeps in the swaddle with his arms out.<br />
Wake Up: Around 8<br />
Naps: 10ish, 1ish, 4ish (wake time is 2-2 1/2 hours and somedays he takes two long naps instead of three)<br />

<b><u>Playtime and Activities:</u></b> We got back into the routine of going to the Y this month and Calvin does so well there. He is such an easy going boy who is happy to roll around on his activity mat, hang out in his exersaucer or jumper or snuggle being held. He has been playing with his activity cube, scout, books and anything he can chew on.<br />

And it always comes right at nap time so I can immediately open it and give it my undivided attention. Perfection.<br />
<br />
This is my third time receiving a fix from <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/referral/3897374" target="_blank">Stitch Fix</a> and I still love it just the same, if not even more. One thing I realized what I love so much about it is not only is it convenient but the stylists really seen to understand my body type and size so pretty much everything I try on fits me well and so I feel good trying it on. They have also done a great job picking items that match my style and my lifestyle.<br />

<br />
So what was in box #3?<br />
<br />
I asked my stylist for items that would help transition my wardrobe into summer. At first glance I was a bit disappointed in the lack of color I saw- a lot of black and white. But that was soon set aside when I realized that I loved everything in the box, despite the color choices.<br />

<b> 41Hawthorn Montreal Arrow Printed Henley Blouse (KEEP- sort of)</b><br />
I loved this shirt and the only problem was that I have one hanging in my closet that is almost identical! So a friend actually bought this one from me but I would have totally kept it if I didn't already have one so similar.<br />

<b>Gilli Arisha Striped Dress (KEEP)</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
This dress has a fun detail on the bottom where it is asymmetrical layered and is lower in the back. I wasn't sold on the color at first ( hot pink and tan/grey stripe) but loved it once it was on.</div>

<br />
<b>Fun2Fun Terrance Lace Detailed Sleeveless Blouse (KEEP)</b><br />
This shirt, along with the maxi skirt, was my favorite item in the box. I loved the lace and that ut could be worn with jeans on a skirt.<br />

<b>Octavia Emily Lightweight Chevron Infinity Scarf (KEEP)</b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
When I opened this, It actually had a small hole/run in it. I emailed <a href="https://www.stitchfix.com/referral/3897374" target="_blank">Stitch Fix </a>and they got right back to me and said I could get a replacement for keep it with a 15% discount. I ended up getting ht e replacement and keeping this scarf because it was actually free when I chose to keep all items and got the 25% discount! Score!</div>

<br />
<b>Renee C Gabe Maxi Skirt (KEEP)</b><br />
For anyone else who is short, you can understand how hard it is to find a maxi skirt that is actually a decent length without having to hike it up super high! Well this skirt fits amazingly and I knew I would keep it as soon as I tried it on.<br />
<br />

<b><u>Sleep:</u></b> Something clicked and sleep has gotten a lot easier this month. We are working to get Calvin to 3 naps a day but he sometimes still needs 4 if he wakes up early or doesn't take long naps. He is sleeping in our room in the bassinet and is still swaddled but with one arm out. We are going to move him to his own room in the next week… why is this so hard for me?! </div>

<b><u>Playtime and Activities:</u></b> Calvin got a jumper this month which has been really fun and he still loves his activity mat. He is playing with his toys a lot- he likes balls, tag blanket, elephant and owl. He grabs them, holds them and chews on them :) It has also been really fun to see Calvin and Christian play together. C likes to lay down next to Calvin on his mat and they giggle and look at toys together. Calvin took his first trip to the cabin this month, tagged along on lots of park trips, walks and play dates.</div>

<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><u>Development:</u></b> Calvin can roll from his back to his tummy and not so much the other way around. So he is usually found playing on his tummy, screaming. He loves to squeal constantly, smile and laugh. He will grab and play with his toes and reach for toys. He doesn't like tummy time but can hold his head up about 45 degrees on his tummy and has good control when being held. He is still exclusively breastfeeding. His acid reflux is getting so much better and only needs medicine every few days.</div>

<b><u>Calvin's Quirks and Favorites:</u></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He laughs the hardest when you sing "What does the fox say?"</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He loves to have you touch his nose.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He wakes up happy, even in the middle of the night!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He started sucking on his two fingers and all of a sudden likes the pacifier</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He screams ALL THE TIME and it is a happy scream! :)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is the most chill baby- always happy... unless he is tired</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
He is most ticklish on his neck</div>

Oh these boys! I love how much they love each other. I can not get enough of the matching jammies either. :) Daddy was out of town so we decided that we should end our night with baths, matching pjs and a photo shoot! I pray that they will always find so much joy in each other and fill our home with lots of giggles and smiles.</div>

<br />
<b>Stats</b>: Weight- 13.2 lbs.<br />
<br />
<b>Clothes:</b> Calvin is wearing 3 month clothes and size one diapers. I love seeing him in so many of the outfits that Christian wore! I have pulled out the 3-6 month clothes and size 2 diapers since we will be transitioning soon.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>Sleep:</b> Sweet boy still fights evening sleep from around 7-11 and wants to be held. We did get him to sleep in the swing a few times then which was amazing! :) He sleeps in the pack and play in our room and still loves to be swaddled. His wake time is usually no more than an hour to an hour and a half.<br />
Typical "schedule":<br />
8:00am wake up<br />
9:30am Nap<br />
12:00pm Nap<br />
3:00pm Nap (sometimes this nap merges with the 12:00 with a feeding in the middle)<br />
5:00 or 6:00 pm Nap<br />
7:00 Bath and get ready for bed then fight sleep for 3+ hours…<br />
Wakes up between 4:00am and 6:00am to eat<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Activities:</b> We have been enjoying walks and going to the park. Calvin naps so well in the Ergo which makes us able to get out a bit more often. He still loves the activity mat and tried the bumbo for the first time. We celebrated Calvin's first Easter this month.</div>

<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">
<b>Development:</b> Calvin has made a huge leap in head control the last few weeks. When he is on his tummy, he will lift it about 45 degrees but is more stable when being held. He rolled over this month and usually rolls more easily from his back to stomach. He loves to smile and giggle but doesn't have any big laughs yet. (Maybe he will always be a quiet giggler :) ) He loves blowing raspberries and is very ticklish! This month he also held onto a toy for the first time- a bowling pin handed to him by his brother!</div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I was so excited to receive my second Stitch Fix this week. I was hoping to add some fun spring items to my closet.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Below is a note from my stylist for this fix. I was given a new stylist this time and again I feel like she nailed my style. I loved to read that my Pinterest board was used as inspiration and was even sent a specific item that I had pinned!</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y10wNX3TZHw/VTKTaT-ZkEI/AAAAAAAACI0/WvD3QWTb1xM/s1600/DSC_0051.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Y10wNX3TZHw/VTKTaT-ZkEI/AAAAAAAACI0/WvD3QWTb1xM/s1600/DSC_0051.JPG" height="214" width="320" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Here is a look at the five items I was sent: </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Stanley Raglan Top</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Moni Geo Print Blouse (sent with cami to go underneath! This was the item I had pinned)</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Haiden Straight Leg Jeans</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Alen French Terry Asymmetrical Zip Cardigan</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Corinna Striped Dolman Top</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jRmmQDeAxs4/VTKTZol-EfI/AAAAAAAACIs/3H3-M3VSWYs/s1600/DSC_0052.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-jRmmQDeAxs4/VTKTZol-EfI/AAAAAAAACIs/3H3-M3VSWYs/s1600/DSC_0052.jpg" height="320" width="253" /></a></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
What I returned:</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Haiden Straight Leg Jeans- I loved the jeans but unfortunately the waist was too big so I sent them back</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Moni Geo Print Blouse- This was a really fun shirt but the sleeves just didn't fit quite right</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
*Corinna Striped Top- I loved this shirt but due to keeping on a budget, I decided to send it back this time. I did ask to get it later in another fix. I love that get to make specific comments and requests on each item I was sent and on the fix overall.</div>
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
What I Kept:</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
*Stanley Raglan Top- I love that this is a shirt I can wear everyday, its super comfortable and fun that the whole back is striped.</div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FuVKRsaYIRE/VTKTbZfglUI/AAAAAAAACJI/rjS_of9TTPc/s1600/DSC_0057.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-FuVKRsaYIRE/VTKTbZfglUI/AAAAAAAACJI/rjS_of9TTPc/s1600/DSC_0057.jpg" height="320" width="214" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
* Alen French Terry Asymmetrical Zip Cardigan- This was my splurge :) It was a bit more expensive than I normally would spend but I think it will be well worth it. This top is a soft jersey like material but is very heavy. It can be wear open as a cardigan or zipped up the side. I love that I can wear this over a dress or with yoga pants and it works!</div>

We made a trip over to see the tulips with some friends. It was gorgeous! It basically turned out to be a photo shoot :) Rayleigh and Christian had a blast smiling in the tulips, hugging, giggling and running around. After exploring the flowers, we enjoyed a treat of kettle corn! :)</div>

<br />
<b>Clothes: </b>You are in 0-3 month and 3 month clothes and are wearing size 1 diapers. I had the hardest time packing away your sweet newborn clothes but it is always fun to pull our new outfits that I remember Christian wearing too.<br />
<br />
<b>Eating: </b>You of course are still breastfeeding, though you now eat every 2-3 hours during the day depending on your naps. For you, sweet boy, I am still off of dairy, soy and eggs.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b>Playtime/Activities: </b>You love your activity mat and anytime you can watch your brother. This past month you have joined us on playmates, gone to church (though most of the services we are up in the nursing room!) and decided you hate grocery shopping. (Thank you Amazon Fresh!) We had to take you to Urgent Care this month after you refused to eat for 12 hours are had a 101 fever. Thankfully it was a quick virus!</div>

<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>These past few weeks we have really be working on your daytime sleep, which has helped your nighttime sleep too. After being awake for an hour, you are ready to start getting easy to go back to sleep and love being swaddle. I call it your miracle blanket and know if you are fussy, it will immediately calm you down. You take about 4 naps a day, each one anywhere from 30-90 mins. Your best nap is in the morning. You usually wake up 2 times in the night and are up for the day around 9. With your reflux we will have to hold you up for about 30 mins after you eat.<br />

<br />
<b>Development: </b>You have come alive! You are always smiling and babbling and have the biggest best dimple. Just in the past week you have started to giggle, although it is not a full blown laugh yet. You can hold up your head pretty well while being held but refuse to lift it up while doing tummy time. You are starting to reach for toys and have accidentally rolled over from your back to tummy a few times.<br />

I filled out my style profile and linked up a pinterest board of what I liked. I found that being as specific as possible (aka I don't like ruffled sleeves or shorter tops) and providing a lot of detail on my pinterest page helped me get a pretty good first fix. ( I read A LOT of reviews before I ordered and it seems pretty common to get a ho hum first fix or two, especially if you are not detailed.)</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
I also selected the "cheaper the better" option in terms of price. My items ranged from $35-$65. I asked for an outfit for Easter as well as a top for my birthday dinner. I also asked for things that were practical as a mom of a toddler and infant.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Here is what I got!</div>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Styling card that gives ideas on how to wear each piece. I love that it gives a dressed up and dressed down version.</td></tr>
</tbody></table>
<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The first item was an Ikat Print Mixed Material Tee. I loved the idea of this shirt but it ended up being too boxy on me and too short in the front which wasn't flattering. But I definitely liked the style. </div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Status: Returned</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3xYaL47VWKE/VO4gIpdp6HI/AAAAAAAACFY/KTefbw-vKNA/s1600/photo3.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-3xYaL47VWKE/VO4gIpdp6HI/AAAAAAAACFY/KTefbw-vKNA/s1600/photo3.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The next item was this Oval Teardrop Necklace. I don't have anything like this and This necklace went great with the dress they sent me.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
Status: Kept!</div>
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IQkuvnB9I-Q/VO4gG3teN8I/AAAAAAAACE4/jjRVIPem62s/s1600/image.jpeg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-IQkuvnB9I-Q/VO4gG3teN8I/AAAAAAAACE4/jjRVIPem62s/s1600/image.jpeg" height="320" width="240" /></a><br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
The third item was a Navy Longsleeve Knit Cardigan. I loved this! It was long and draped but still was fitted so I wasn't drowning in it. I will wear this a lot!</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Status: Kept</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HF7Em-tV2lQ/VO4gImqdEPI/AAAAAAAACFU/QE2ci-XUzz0/s1600/photo4.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-HF7Em-tV2lQ/VO4gImqdEPI/AAAAAAAACFU/QE2ci-XUzz0/s1600/photo4.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
This is the Garren Keyhole Blouse. I thought I would like this shirt but it was $58 which was a bit high priced for me and then the color totally washed me out and the neckline just didn't work.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Status: Returned</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4bqACxHNLq8/VO4gJBkGMQI/AAAAAAAACFk/ZNyNStpYlT4/s1600/photo5.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-4bqACxHNLq8/VO4gJBkGMQI/AAAAAAAACFk/ZNyNStpYlT4/s1600/photo5.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
Lastly, was the Kamile Jersey Ruched Detail Dress. I love this dress and it is what my stylist picked out for my Easter outfit. It is perfect and so comfortable. I love that I will be able to dress this up or down.</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
Status: Kept!</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nj869RDLwMQ/VO4gJbIrzeI/AAAAAAAACFo/dtXGvg2JS4o/s1600/photo6.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-nj869RDLwMQ/VO4gJbIrzeI/AAAAAAAACFo/dtXGvg2JS4o/s1600/photo6.JPG" height="320" width="240" /></a></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
So I ended up keeping three of the five items! I was really pleased with the clothes they picked out for me and the whole process was really easy. I mean, who has time to go shopping with a toddler and infant?! And I loved getting to try the clothes on with what I already own as well. I already have my next fix scheduled in a couple months! </div>

<br />
<b>Clothing:</b> Calvin you are in newborn clothes and newborn diapers!<br />
<br />
<b>Sleep: </b>You still are up to eat every 3 hours around the clock from your NICU schedule and sleep a majority of the day. You are sleeping in the pack and play in our room. You started to show signs of acid reflux, but thankfully we know what to expect this time around! You won't use the wedge but your back and play is elevated on one end.<br />
<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>Eating: </b>You are nursing on demand every 3-4 hours and we have to wake you up to eat if you sleep more than 4 hours. You have half your feeds breastfed and half is fortified breast milk from a bottle. We are also adding in acid reflux medicine to the routine! I am also off of dairy and soy for your tummy troubles.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>Playtime/Activities: </b>You are home! We have enjoyed getting to introduce you to your home- your room, toys, books, etc. You really enjoy laying on your activity mat and being the swing. This month we spent most of our time at home, away from as many germs as possible! You went to an occupational therapist for acid reflux positioning, the doctor for weight checks and MOPS.<br />

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<b>Development: </b>You have developed acid reflux, as many preemies do. You are growing right on track and we will not have to fortify your milk for long! You are still very sleepy but your awake times are becoming more frequent.Katelynhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10728696169781411554noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7537593118391896440.post-26061554741654915062015-01-22T19:52:00.000-08:002015-04-26T19:53:11.057-07:00Brothers!It's a matching jammies kind of night!

This Christmas was a bit more low key as we had only been home from the hospital a few days. On Christmas Eve we went to church- Kerry was helping with worship and it was Calvin's first time! I felt so blessed getting to snuggle my sweet boy in my arms, singing songs to God, surrounded by my church family. That evening my parents came over and we ate dinner and played games.</div>

On Christmas morning, Christian waited on the stairs in his new jammies for a picture, just like his Daddy did growing up. We opened presents and stockings downstairs before loading up and heading over to my parents. Later that evening we went to Robin and Tom's.</div>

<b>Playtime/Activities:</b> You made it home for your one month birthday! There wasn't a whole lot of playing in the NICU so we look forward to introducing toys and books to you. You did make it to church for Christmas Eve which was a big outing and celebrated Christmas.<br />

How did my son turn 3?! For Christian's party, we decided to have a Jake and the Neverland Pirates theme. We were still in the NICU with Calvin but it was really important to me to have a celebration. We just did lots of purchases from Amazon and kept things pretty simple. (Although I love throwing parties and its hard for me to stay TOO simple!) We kept it small and invited Mamaw and Grandad, Nana and Papa and his friends (Grayson, Makenna, Ellie and Rayleigh) and their families. I just love that his cousins are some of his best friends too!</div>

<b><u>Activities</u></b></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The highlight of the evening was the treasure hunt. I wrote up the clues and hid them around the house. Kerry dressed up like a pirate and led the crew on their adventure. Whenever they figured out the clue, they had to yell "Yo Ho Let's Go!". At the end each kid got a treasure chest filled with an inflatable sword, ring pops and Pirates Booty!</div>
