My wardrobe has been all about comfort for both me and my little.<br />
<br />
Here are some of my staples for the past two weeks. These have been on constant rotation.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://www.target.com/Merona-Ultimate-Long-Sleeve-Tee/dp/B003X4DOV2/ref=sr_1_29?ie=UTF8&searchView=grid5&keywords=merona%20tee%20shirts&fromGsearch=true&sr=1-29&qid=1297359467&rh=&searchRank=target104545&id=Merona%20Ultimate%20Long%20Sleeve%20Tee&node=1038576%7C1287991011&searchSize=30&searchPage=1&searchNodeID=1038576%7C1287991011&searchBinNameList=subjectbin%2Cprice%2Ctarget_com_primary_color-bin%2Ctarget_com_size-bin%2Ctarget_com_brand-bin&frombrowse=0">Merona</a> long sleeve tee shirts. I have about five of these now. One of my Targets marked them down to $7 so I added a few more to my selection.<br />
<br />
<a href="http://shop.lululemon.com/store/productdetails.aspx?productid=1272&colorid=550&sli=1">Lululemon</a> pants...Need I say more, these are wonderful. My only complaint is they are sold out of the lined version of these and won't bring them back until next fall. I even called headquarters asking if ANY stores had them in stock. No luck they are gone. I also own <a href="http://shop.lululemon.com/store/productdetails.aspx?productid=1574&colorid=6519&sli=1"> these</a> and <a href="http://shop.lululemon.com/Groove_PantRegular/pd/c/560/np/560/p/3029.html">these</a>.<br />
<br />
My feet are always cold so I have plenty of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Microfiber-Fuzzy-Fuschia-Foot-Traffic/dp/B000BVXXS4">these</a> to keep me warm. The ones with grippers on the bottom are the best. Although watching mommy slide on the wood floors can be very entertaining to my little.<br />
<br />
Hoping to be able to get back to wearing real clothes, but in the mean time I am enjoying being warm and comfy.StylishSuburbanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947056755302674565noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066479598799431880.post-65156232084946150212011-02-10T10:35:00.000-07:002011-02-10T10:35:54.643-07:00Valentine's Day treatsHaving a little one inspires me in so many ways.

Life has been busy and no time for blogging. I do try and read blogs on the rare occasion of having a little free time. When you have a little one that does not enjoy naps the days are packed with lots of things to stay busy.<br />

Wishing you all a Merry Christmas!<br />

I do not know his parents, but one day came across their blog <a href="http://www.inthiswonderfullife.com/">In this Wonderful Life</a>. They are very strong, brave, and above all amazing parents. <br />
<br />
Cohen is in surgery right now...My heart just hurts for them right now. I myself have said many prayers that all will go well for this baby boy and he will be healed. Please put them in your prayers as well tonight.StylishSuburbanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947056755302674565noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066479598799431880.post-3035551158826282362010-05-12T12:24:00.001-06:002010-05-12T12:24:09.282-06:00Knock don't Ring-PleaseWANTED<br />
<br />
A sign to let visitors, the UPS man (who we love he brings us packages we love), fed ex man that a sweet sleeping baby lives here now. Anyone else get their little one down for a nap and the doorbell rings. The ring also seems to be much louder, echos, and lasts forever.<br />

I could not wait to wear it even around the house with a white tee shirt and jeans....So that is exactly what I did. It sure did make me feel good while I was dusting and cleaning my floors. When I walked by the mirror I had forgotten I was wearing it and put a smile on my face.<br />

I need advice from mom's who have had a baby that doesn't want to sleep. My little one was a great sleeper. Would go 4-5 hours at night. Then a switched flipped and will only sleep in my arms or if I am laying down next to him. When I place him in his crib eyes open wide followed by giggles (which are so sweet and make me laugh). We are not getting enough sleep at the SS house.<br />
<br />
The past few nights he wakes up only a hour after he ate. From there it goes downhill. Then he ends up in bed with us. I know I know I said I wasn't going to be that mom who let's her baby sleep in bed. But otherwise I can't get any sleep.<br />
<br />
So what have you done in the past that has made your little one sleep? Is this a phase or did I create this by loving to hold and cuddle with my baby.StylishSuburbanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947056755302674565noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066479598799431880.post-49239863192906338882010-03-22T19:45:00.001-06:002010-03-22T19:50:31.153-06:00Top 2 Tuesday.......things you can't live without<center> </center><center></center><center></center><center></center><center></center><center></center><center></center><center><a href="http://benandtay.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"><br />

</a> </h3>I am doing this the light hearted way (like Taylor)<span style="font-size: large;"> <span style="font-size: x-large;">I guess basically 2 things I would not like to live without is more like it! </span></span><br />
1. I can't start my day without a <span style="font-size: large;">cup of coffee</span>. It must be good flavored coffee, or as my husband calls it "girlie coffee." <br />

I'm actually ordering a couple items today for baby presents and a little present for Baby SS.StylishSuburbanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947056755302674565noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066479598799431880.post-71843069030139592512010-03-03T11:48:00.001-07:002010-03-03T11:59:49.573-07:00Going Private that's the big ?Should I go<i> Private</i>? I'm not sure if I really have any readers since I took a break.<br />
<br />
So this is the big question I have been struggling with since having my baby. I'm very vague on my postings when it comes to my life. Many bloggers put it all out there for everyone to read and I am envious of your bravery. Staying fairly anonymous (no pictures or names) on my blog keeps me protected. Now that I have entered <i>Mommyhood </i>I want to be in the "club" more being able to share pictures, ideas, ask questions I have without all the negativity it may bring.<br />
<br />
So maybe if I went private and could limit who could read and see I could open up more....<br />
<br />
After reading <a href="http://makemineamojito.com/">MM last post</a> as well as <a href="http://blueeyedbride.com/">BEB's post</a> it (wish I did) makes me realize there are a lot of rude, insensitive people reading others blogs. Not sure why others feel the right or need to be negative, place judgement or try to bring others down. I don't know either of these bloggers in real life, but they are such genuine and honest ladies. <br />
<br />
I have always tried to live by the words <i>"Treat others like you would like to be treated."</i> Yes, I catch myself being snotty sometimes and have to do a self check and ask myself why am I having ill feelings toward this person?<br />
<br />
Private maybe the answer for me.StylishSuburbanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947056755302674565noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066479598799431880.post-37325756100793244832010-03-03T10:30:00.000-07:002010-03-03T10:30:17.172-07:00VaccinationsAs a new mommy I want to do everything I possibly can to keep my little one healthy, happy, and safe.<br />
The dreaded vaccinations....I'm pro-vaccine all the way and can't understand why a parent wouldn't vaccinate their children, but that's a different post for another day.This is my opinion on wanting to vaccinate my baby and I know many others are against them. Please don't judge me and I won't judge you for not vaccinating.<br />
<br />
Jenny McCarthy has changed her mind on the MMR vaccine that she claimed gave her son Evan autism. Thanks to the <a href="http://baby411.typepad.com/baby_411_blog/">Baby 411 blog</a> for posting this information. I like Jenny McCarthy and even read her first book when I was pregnant. But so many celebritites make claims about one thing or another and it just bothers me. Many times these individuals are lucky if they graduated high school.<br />
<br />
I think it is important for anyone to be careful in the claims they make against medicine. People usually don't realize these medicines go through years of studies before making it to market. Yes, I have a lot of insight on medicine from my career so I feel comfortable making this statement.<br />
<br />

The one thing I haven't gotten yet is a baby book. To be honest I haven't really looked that hard because I do not like all the Disney cartoon books or any other type of characters. I'm looking for a book that is more contemporary/modern with design. Many friends have informed me baby books have changed a lot over the years. Side note I'm not going to be scrapbooking with all the little add ons and different papers. Some of the books are already assembled just add photos, this is right up my alley.<br /><br />So any suggestions on what baby books you have used for your little ones?StylishSuburbanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947056755302674565noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066479598799431880.post-92006314025579282762009-12-12T08:14:00.003-07:002009-12-12T08:28:22.422-07:00Christmas Edition get to know blogger friends<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Welcome to the Christmas edition of getting to know your blogger friends.

If you are like me the answer is NO. I understand there is a lot to plan, buy, and put together before your little one arrives, but needing a baby planner.<br />So I was a little skeptical until I started thinking about how it is difficult to decide which nursery furniture, car seat, stroller, high chair, bouncy seat, swing, baby tub, monitor, breast pump, diaper bag, and bedding is best. Friends, family, and bloggers are always great resources for advice on what worked best for their baby. Some may even go to Consumer Reports to get the professionals advice.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwv7Q2xC8ArqzxUybCuHD5dzPTzlo8OZzPy-TXAWPJkir-LGQd-k9cAp5j4LOUE9SKhVF0RRdDV2qnUGq8NyL7g-KjJ5EnAoWEwM7xDffPKc0X0CnkbVibfHRY6IRpUl4CQ0jMCANY1BH1/s1600-h/car+seat.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjwv7Q2xC8ArqzxUybCuHD5dzPTzlo8OZzPy-TXAWPJkir-LGQd-k9cAp5j4LOUE9SKhVF0RRdDV2qnUGq8NyL7g-KjJ5EnAoWEwM7xDffPKc0X0CnkbVibfHRY6IRpUl4CQ0jMCANY1BH1/s400/car+seat.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410837863029026178" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br />So now we have the job of a baby planner....<a href="http://www.nationalbabyplannerassociation.com/">NBPA (National Baby Planner Association)</a><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkNfpvSsMBBgqcvnc_YHRmsM6No6967-gzlv1V6FYPVmc5-20v9YjLwA_cqLIdxUicIYh3f9KvCQVnjd77M-DxPFYoXwn1ftPHaDaXb-FVdRs3OvYjOLL7YqurTYlB3SChr8JqIHbpmU2m/s1600-h/stroller.JPG"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 230px; height: 230px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjkNfpvSsMBBgqcvnc_YHRmsM6No6967-gzlv1V6FYPVmc5-20v9YjLwA_cqLIdxUicIYh3f9KvCQVnjd77M-DxPFYoXwn1ftPHaDaXb-FVdRs3OvYjOLL7YqurTYlB3SChr8JqIHbpmU2m/s400/stroller.JPG" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5410838222447873922" border="0" /></a><br />I would have probably looked at their advice earlier, a little too late now.

I'm getting mixed advice from some of my friends. Some say nightgowns are the way to go due to ease of nursing and you can pull it up while you are laying in bed. Others say they didn't wear PJ's while they were there but more lounge clothes.<br /><br />I'm usually not a nightgown kind of a girl, personally I get too tangled up in them while I'm sleeping.<br /><br />Thoughts much appreciate.....oh and while you are sharing any must haves that I should have in my hospital bag?StylishSuburbanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947056755302674565noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066479598799431880.post-14539187162765104582009-11-11T16:31:00.001-07:002009-11-11T16:35:42.294-07:00A little catch upIt has been a while since I have blogged, to be honest things have been really busy. Between being pregnant and also having a demanding career my blog has fallen down on my priority list.<br />The nursery is coming together and I'm so excited to bring my little bundle of joy home and create many memories in that room.<br />Now I need some advice or feedback from all the Moms out there. I am in need of two important items<br /><br />1. Breast Pump<br />2. Diaper Bag<br /><br />I want a breast pump that is easy to use and can be done hands-free. As far as a diaper bag I'm wanting something stylish and with no cartoon characters on it.

I don't need them yet, actually I'm not even showing but planning ahead in my book it always a good thing.<br /><br />ThanksStylishSuburbanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947056755302674565noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8066479598799431880.post-66857508588278117922009-05-30T16:10:00.005-06:002009-05-30T16:19:44.126-06:00Long time no post & Big SurpriseLong time without a post, but I promise I have a really really good excuse. <span style="font-size:180%;"><span style="font-weight: bold;"><br /><br />Mr. SS and I will be adding to our Stylish family with a little baby!!!</span></span><br /><br /><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq0oq2Ay0fRC4CPokNl6_oPMFR7URgR8s95IJTVBLHl-nXeJ7K56aP15BAgypPGcZU4CDIESJJTT6ICK-8o_kZBmjzcvrT0nj8c_2uCcL0Kh9zi9xTq1V5o0q1msx5PLh9Q7pWJcK19BfV/s1600-h/SuperStock_1555R-319520.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 350px; height: 284px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgq0oq2Ay0fRC4CPokNl6_oPMFR7URgR8s95IJTVBLHl-nXeJ7K56aP15BAgypPGcZU4CDIESJJTT6ICK-8o_kZBmjzcvrT0nj8c_2uCcL0Kh9zi9xTq1V5o0q1msx5PLh9Q7pWJcK19BfV/s400/SuperStock_1555R-319520.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5341744846138463650" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />WE ARE SO EXCITED I can't even begin to tell you all. Things have been a little rough I've been really really sick and nothing make me feel better. Also I've had some bleeding so I'm being watched very closely by my Dr. and have been told to rest as much as possible. A very hard thing to do for a busy body like myself.<br /><br /><span style="font-weight: bold;">Please pray</span> for us over the next few weeks that we get through this rough patch and continue to grow a healthy baby.<br /><br />*******Also if you have any tips for the nausea please please share with me!!!<br /><br />Again sorry for the lack of posts. I know a couple bloggers have asked me if I ever joined WW and the answer is no. I found out I was pregnant around the time I was going to join. These past few weeks I have been losing weight so for once I am hoping to stop and hold tight where I am.<br /><br />Please forgive me if I don't post regularly for the next few weeks. I'm still trying to read all of your blogs just not commenting much.StylishSuburbanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/00947056755302674565noreply@blogger.com12
