Spawnie's First Baby Sling- Clementine Rose Giveaway!

The hardest thing to me about not knowing what Spawnie is, that it puts a halt on all of my urges to shop. Sure... This may be a good thing now, but it really just means I'm going to be spending more later. I've been a good girl though. I honestly can't remember that last time I bought something for myself (besides my crazy food cravings) so my normal splurge money has been stored for my mini me (or mini hubs).

When I first started chatting with Lana from Clementine Rose we had talked about working together on my blog but I was so torn. I LOVE so many things in her shop but I can't lunge my favorites into my shopping cart until I know if the little one I'm carrying is a he or a she.

Even silly little things like hooded towels make a difference to me. Call me silly but if Spawnie is a girl most everything must be pink! It's my favorite color and my girl will just have to wear it until one of us tires of it. As I browsed around I found something I thought could work whether boy or girl. I got the Camden Baby Sling.

I know I want to be a baby wearing mama... I have loved the idea of pretending to be a kangaroo since I saw my first baby sling. Now I can't get enough of them. If it weren't for me not knowing what Spawnie is yet I'd probably have several by now, but for my first one I decided to go with my favorite, which happened to be blue (and cause deep down I know Spawnie is a boy).One of my best friends had a baby a few months ago and her little girl is who I like to call my "test baby." She adorable, photogenic, and happy! I couldn't ask for a better model. ...She's also Spawnie's future BFF or girlfriend! First off, Happy Birthday to mommy Heidi! (I had to through that in there). My model friend Heidi bought a baby sling for her baby Zoila a few months ago so I asked her to compare mine to the one she has. At first glance she told me that mine was a lot bigger and softer than hers.When she put Zoila in she said it was really comfortable... And unlike her other sling, baby Zoila likes it!! I couldn't help but snap a few cute pictures.I'm not gonna lie, one reason I'm pretty excited about having a carrier to hold my baby in is so (hopefully) I can still do some browsing online after becoming a busy mom, with Spawnie hanging right on me!I've heard some pros and cons of baby wearing but I think if it works for us, I will definitely be a baby wearing mama!

Here's a little more about Clementine Rose:

I would love either the Emily baby sling or the super soft fold over pants. Since I JUST found out I was pregnant, I think those pants might come in handy. :-) The baby clothes are way cute...but who knows what I'm going to need Pink or Blue!

Brooke said...

Woops, forgot to mention I also follow your blog.

Emmy said...

Oh I so would love a Camden baby sling! I am about to have my third so I know my hands are going to need to be free, and I HATE the carrier I already have.

Emmy said...

I follow your blog! Thanks for a great giveaway

Emmy said...

My pregnancy tip for you is to try and somehow not be too anxious/excited for the baby. I remember with my first one I kept thinking, when I so want the baby... but newborns while wonderful are a lot of work. So enjoy this time, get a few extra things for you done as your life is about to be a lot busier but wonderful too.

And here is some pregnancy advice: read a book (or preferably several books) on infant sleeping BEFORE you have spawnie. I recommend Happiest Baby on the Block and Healthy Sleep Habits, Happy Child.

Arya said...

I would get either get a sling (brown w/blue poka dots) or a nursing cover (all colors are sweet) OR the cute black & white changing pad (circle design).

So many things to choose. I bookmarked the site so that when I know this little bug inside me is going to stay long term I will purchase lots of goodies.

Not entering the contest, just leaving a comment.....Your sling seems so comfortable. I really wish I had one for my children. It would have made everything so much easier. Newborns want to be held all the time, so that leaves no time for mom to do anything. But with the sling, it seems a mom could accomplish so much while holding the baby.

DesignerSam said...

This site is so cute, thanks for sharing!! I would probably go for the Amanda floral modern baby bag or the same sling that you got (I have seen some in stores, but yours looks much more durable and comfy). I found out I'm having a girl and prefer your pattern to the others anyhow.

DesignerSam said...

I also follow your blog, and as far as pregnancy tips go- I think you are two weeks ahead of me so I can't do much but share the horror stories I've heard. You don't seem to be getting sick like me though, which is good.
