Now that I have gotten past the half way mark in my pregnancy, I feel like I want to countdown how many weeks and days are left until my due date. Having to keeep going up just feels like it is taking soooo much longer.
I am 22 weeks today but in my mind I have 18 weeks left! Wow only 18 weeks! As far away as that seems it is coming so fast which means getting ready for baby Evelynne. We are starting completely over with baby which means needing to buy everything that she needs. As she isn’t my first, I have an idea of what I want/need and what I don’t to start off with but wow so much has changed in the baby world in just 10 years since I had Danyella.
The latest craze is having boxes filled with baby stuff delivered to you for accomplishing things like creating a registry on Amazon or Target or just paying shipping to a baby box company. A mama in my baby mama group showed us a picture of a box that she recently received just for paying shipping. The company is called Noobie Box and they offer a FREE pregnancy box for just the cost of shipping ($6.95) but there is a downfall…. They only deliver to the Northeast (CT, DC, DE, MA, MD, ME, NH, NJ, NY, PA, RI and VT). Thankfully Jersey was on the list so I ordered away.
The box came pretty quickly compared to the Amazon free registry box. Inside the box…. discount cards for Carters and Stowaway Collection maternity clothes, advertisment postcards for babymoov (pregnancy pillow company), noobie milestone boxes for when baby is here (paid service that Noobie Box offers), Baby List registry, plus information brochures for cord blood and breastfeeding. Now comes the good stuff… sample of care/of prenatal vitamins, WaterWipes (I really want to try these!) and Lansinoh breastmilk storage bags and nursing pads. Plus a 4 ounce Mam bottle, Chat Cards Monthly Picture cards (might need to decorate them with some girly colors since they are just gray and a Carters (gender neutral) long sleeve outfit. Just the Carter’s outfit alone is worth the $6.95 that I basically paid for the box!
I am beginning to love these boxes but even better when the boxes are nearly free and filled with baby gear that I know I will use! The bottle was one that I wanted to try out because I learned in the past, not all babies and nipples are created equal so who knows what bottle she will take so buy a couple of each different ones and try them out.
If you live in one of the states they ship too and are pregnant or know someone who is pregnant this box is worth the shipping cost! Visit the their site to order yours today: Noobie Box
*This review is an upaid review of my own opinions. The company did not compansate me in any way, shape or form.
Congratulations on the 22 week milestone! I’ll be 26 tomorrow (this is my first child). I love the idea of the Noobie box – sadly I’m not in one of those states though!
Oh that stinks! Yes I don’t understand why they limited to just those states. Congrats on your new baby coming soon
