PampersFirsts Party

Thank you Pampers for sponsoring this post. All opinions are 100% my own.

Thinking back to when we first had our now 9-year-old Jonathan. I remember feeling so worried about everything. Reading all the parenting books and advice books, we were going to be responsible for this little person. Then he was born and I remember the first time I saw him, I hugged him so close and I knew everything was going to be ok. I remember all his first and documented everything. I remember back then logging on to the Pampers website to track his growth and getting tips. So it’s nice now that they have set up this #PampersFirsts Program. 

About the Pampers “Firsts” Program

As the #1 choice of hospitals in North America and the first diaper worn by millions of babies, Pampers Swaddlers comforts and protects babies through their entire journey of amazing firsts. Pampers understands there is nothing more joyful or rewarding than the precious first-time moments shared by little ones and their families. In honor of this special journey, Pampers has released a compilation video entitled “Firsts” that highlights those wondrous “first” experiences together.

From the first-time parents see their little one on a sonogram to the first evening home from the hospital, the Pampers “Firsts” video showcases precious, heartfelt moments babies and parents share together. Pampers recognizes that all first moments, no matter how big or small, are moments to be cherished and celebrated. Pampers is honored to be a part of the journey of firsts for millions of families around the world every day.

    

What did you guys think about the video? Doesn’t it just bring you so much happiness remembering all those “firsts” When I had my first ultrasound with Juliana I cried like a big baby, for a year and a half we tried to get pregnant and nothing. Then we found out we were pregnant with her it was quite emotional for us.

This is pretty cool, you can now create your own” aspect of the video:

Create and share your own journey of Firsts at pampersfirsts.com.

Pampers has developed a micro-site that will allow you to upload images of your baby from your computer or pick from your Facebook gallery and create a:15 second video to share out with friends on Twitter or Facebook. The video will highlight the baby photos and all their first milestone moments.

This past Saturday I was lucky enough to host a #Pampersfirsts viewing party. I invited my sister in laws, one who is currently eight months pregnant. And some old friends who I grew up with, both have 3 little ones. It’s nice knowing these girls when we were kids and now seeing them married with kids of their own. There’s nothing better than good eats, great company, and mommy talk. 

Did you know that Pampers now goes up to size 6? I had no idea!

Mom Wisdom

http://member.clevergirlscollective.com/track?u=17534&g=852

Growing up my mom tried to install plenty of wisdom in me that I can carry on throughout life. So I could be prepared for all the bumps in the road life has and will continue to throw at me. She taught me countless things but the most that stuck are to be independent, to never let anyone talk down to me, that education was very important, to work hard at everything that I do and to treat others like I would like to be treated.

Treat others like I would like to be treated was probably the most that I have been confronted in my life so far. Especially in my younger years with peer pressure and trying to fit in because of course that is the most important thing in the world at that age right. But every time I had a situation I had my mom’s voice in the back of my head, saying what if someone treated you like that Mayra. I have lost a couple friends for not talking down to some one or ignoring them, and guess what i’m fine you move on. Thank you mom!

Now as a mother myself I try to teach the same wisdom that my mother did to me .Jon who is 8 i’ve tried to teach him treat others like he would like to be treated that school is important, getting a higher education is very important and that he has to work hard in anything he wants to achieve. Last year his school went to go visit St. Mary’s college, he was beyond excited and filled with so many questions. He can’t wait until he is off to college. I tell him he will be one day he has to work hard in class get good grades. I’m sure I will be balling my eyes out when that day comes and Julian will have to drag me out of his dorm.

This next school year he will be starting a new school in a new city. School starts next week and we will be back into our crazy routine. Starting off first thing in the morning with a healthy breakfast with a glass of California milk. It is the most important meal in the day, we tell Jon a glass of milk helps keep him focused in class and helps with his growth making sure his muscles stay strong. When I was younger and still to this day I drink a glass of warm milk before going to bed it just makes me sleep better. Juliana our 2 year old likes drinking a warm glass of milk in the morning, as soon as she wakes up the first thing she asks for is leche mom leche.

Hope you guys enjoy your day!
