Vegas Momma's Blog

Nothing adds the perfect finishing touch to a well thought-out nursery like hanging the child’s name. It just seems to tie everything together and say, “Welcome little bundle of joy.” With this mind, my sister-in-law Jenae creates these little masterpieces. She has for every baby in our family and lately for everyone we know. Click [...]

Feeling a void from Oprah retiring her “Favorite Things?” Have no fear, Lizzy’s”Material Girl Mondays” is here. It’s just a little something we put together to feature all the great baby & mommy products we come across. Happy shopping… (clockwise from the top) 1.) Babyators $19.99: Aviators for babies in all different colors- enough said. [...]

Because of Facebook’s recent changes, I’ve had to create a new VEGAS MOMMA PAGE to keep my “like” box on my blog. I’ve essentially lost all my fans and this makes me very sad. I’ve decided to host a giveaway to fix this inconvenience and turn my frown upside down. Up for grabs is a [...]

Lizzy’s 5th month came and went in a blink of an eye. She’s already in 9 month clothes and size 3 diapers. She still isn’t quite crawling yet, but that doesn’t stop her from getting where she wants to go. Little Nuggie is also finally drinking formula everyday, but only once a day. To accomplish [...]

The nursery is complete, all except for one thing…Lizzy. The room is quiet and spotless for now, but she’ll be arriving any day and I can’t wait to mess it all up. My hubby and I decided to go with peach for the wall color. We wanted something feminine, but not as predictable as pink. [...]

Lizzy has been full-term for almost two weeks and I just can’t wait for her to arrive! Everyday I’m contacted by friends and family who are curious to know her status. I’m curious to know it too! I wish she could just turn some of her kung-fu kicks into morse code and communicate a date. [...]

It’s 37 weeks and Lizzy is full-term. Here’s a video of her reaction after I served her an eviction notice! Whoever said babies move around less as labor approaches hasn’t met Lizzy yet. She still seems to have plenty of room to do as she pleases.

I’m nine months pregnant and Lizzy could arrive at any moment. I can’t believe it. Our family is filled with anticipation, but our family is also a “Hot-Mess.” My hubby broke his foot about a week ago and is having surgery on it today. He’s been hobbling around on crutches and is expected to have [...]
