The First Month: Diapers-

-


Congrats!  👶 You've made it through what can be the hardest and most trying time as a new parent.  The sleep deprivation and zombification is real as you get to know your little one not to mention the constant diapers changes.

As my experience goes, not all disposable diapers are created equal.  Our petite little bundle of joy transitioned from the newborn to size one a few weeks after the one month mark and found a few of the brands performed better in different sizing.

Newborn sizing we 💗:  Pampers Pure

  • These hug nicely and we only had one accident.  Can I say poo all the way up the back?  I love the pH indicator turning from yellow to blue to let you know it is wet.  The size was still a little big for our daughter, but performed well in locking moisture and preventing blowouts.

Newborn sizing we disliked:  Luvs

  • These were a great size just a little more petite than the other brands but it did not perform.  We had leakage a few times and just did not seem to have a good core to lock in moisture.  Blowout central!💥

Take it or leave it Newborn sizing: Honest Company

  • These were a great size for our petite lil bundle but were hit or miss on preventing any leakage though they did have a great core keeping moisture away from her skin.

Size 1 we 💗: Honest Company

  • While it was hit or miss in newborn sizing, The Honest Company really out performed any other diapers in size 1.  They have an amazing core keeping moisture away from baby's skin come night time and really prevent leaks and blowouts.  Can I say ADORABLE prints make these A+!!

Size 1 we dislike:  Huggies

  • We found these diapers did not prevent leakage or blow outs.  Compared to Pampers and the Honest Company, we had twice as many onesie changes throughout the day.  And I mean full blow outs to wear it also messed on the DockATot. 

Size 1 Take it or leave it:  Pampers Swaddlers & Pure

  • We still love these diapers.  They perform well, lock in moisture, but Honest Company's core is what they say it is and the designs just could not match any other brand.  We also used the Pamper's app to  see what fit our Little One should be in and felt that it was off.  It said size two even though the ones are still a little bulky.  All in all we would still buy these!

Being a parent has its challenges and a diaper doing its job should not be one of them.  We found that some of the more expensive diapers were worth the money out performing in leak protection, moisture lock, and preventing blow-outs.  In our journey we found you get what you pay for is so true in diapering.  Save yourself time and piece of mind and purchase Honest Company or Pampers Pure.  You will not be disappointed!!

Hundreds of competitors flock to Chicago, Illinois for the 2011 NPC Junior Nationals Competition [about 30 of those competitors from Colorado].  When first getting the skinny on what was going on, only about 4-6 competitors from Colorado were called out for Top 10.  This is a huge feat as Erica Cobb pointed out "the competition is STIFF".  Erica competed in Bikini Class D with her team mates Jesse Lehman who competed Physique Class A and Lana Hofman who competed Figure Class E.  Though none of them earned their Pro Cards, they will make a comeback at the USAs in July. 10th Place Bikini Class D 7th Place Figure Class E 4th Place Physique Class A Congratulations MissFits & Mayhem on a beautiful performance.  You all worked very hard and know exactly what needs to be done to blow them out of the water in July. **Other Top 10 Colorado competitors included Alex Carneiro, his wife Katherine, and Christina Hefner

Say A Little Prayer For Me

It was a busy day for The Gym as it began well before sunrise.  Lana Hofman, Erica Cobb, and Jesse Lehmen head to Chicago, IL with their coach, Chris Williamson, and The Gym support team to compete at NPC Junior Nationals.  Upon sending them off, Erica met me with a gleam in her eye and a huge smile.  "I just want Saturday to get here.  I'm feeling really good."  It was refreshing to see how pumped she was. What most people do not understand is this show is a qualifier for your Pro Card and by two weeks out; your body and mind are usually fighting themselves.  They ache, feel sick, mentally & physcially are drained, and sometimes fight to keep motivated.  It takes a lot for these competitors to compete let alone compete nationally.  I commend these athletes for their time commitment, their motivation even if they have a few doubts, and their willingness to be vulnerable in front of thousands of people.  They are some the strongest, most inspirational people . . . th
