News News News!!

After being at our current location for just over 2 years, I am sad to report that we will be closing our brick and mortar location on November 29, 2013 (if not sooner!).  The store itself did well, with local, loyal customers coming in for gifts and clothes, items for themself.  However, with having 3 little ones, and a husband that work A LOT (he changed companies this Summer and we were blessed with this opportunity), it is becoming harder and harder to stay open.  I need to be able to do homework with my 5 and 7 year olds, I need to be able to cuddle my 2 yr old,  I need to be able to attend school functions.  The list goes on and on.  I was presented with a job opportunity to be with my children more, so I have to jump on this opportunity. 

With all of this being said, most items in the store will be discounted between 50-75% until closing day which will be Nov 29th.  Diapers, wraps and a few other items will be discounted, but are excluded from the 50-75% off.

If you would like to take advantage of this sales, I suggest you do so early!  I will continue to sell online on my website www.SugarSweetBaby.com and will continue to do custom orders and take requests. 

I thank you all for the support and value the friendships I have made!  I will never regret opening the store, it was a pleasure and so much fun to work!

He's HERE - Hayden's birth story!

It's official!  We welcomed our 3rd child February 20, 2011 at 8:56pm!  I am more then in love!  It's truly amazing how much you can love your children.  I always wondered if I could love another child as much as my first and then I had my 2nd and 3rd and realized that there is that same love!
Here is what happened - as I remember it:
Saturday (Feb 19th) I woke up with labor contractions.  All day I was thinking I may be in labor, so my husband kept the kids occupied in our playroom, doing artwork, riding bicycles (our playroom is our finished basement and its winter in NY so we cleaned the bikes and brought them in;-p)  The contractions were about 5 minutes apart, but I could stand them, so I just tried to rest.  I ended up calling my midwife in the afternoon to let her know what was going on.  She told me to do so, because my 2nd child's birth was 3 1/2 hrs start to finish.  When I called she told me to call back if there were any changes so I rested the day and was awakened Sunday morning at 5:30 with painful contractions.  By 10am I called my Mom to get my 2 1/2 and 5 yr old.  At this point I am almost in tears, trying to be strong in front my my little ones.  My son (5) asked, "Mom are you in labor?".    I was embarrassed that I was in pain.
I called my Midwife at 10:30ish am and I told her my contractions went from 5 minutes to 2 minutes.  She was already at the birthing center for another birth so she told me to come right in.  We got to the BC and I could barely walk.  I get situated, she checks me and I was at about 2 cm 75% effaced.  (this was the same amount as my other 2 births - so ironic!)  After getting the meds for being GBS + I walked around and rested, etc, and THEN MY CONTRACTIONS SLOWED DOWN..  I was SHOCKED!  My midwives kept telling my that 3rd children were tricky, etc.  I couldn't believe this.  I was in TEARS.  I was the only pregnant person in the birthing center, I heard babies crying.  I lost it.  Rewind to me having strong painful contractions since 18 weeks.  My midwife offered to have me go home for awhile if that would make me more comfortable, but we were expected to have a snowstorm that night (and we did) plus I told her honestly I wouldn't know when to come back.  Plus we live 20 minutes away.  So we stayed.
So after losing it, I found my midwife and cried.  I didn't care who saw me, I WAS OVER being pregnant, I wanted to see this little boy I have been carrying and I WANTED my other kids.  I just wanted it to be over.  With that being said, my midwife checked me and I was at 2.5cm and 90% effaced and asked if I wanted my water broken.  I said YES - I know some people will disagree with this.  That's fine, but both other child came within a few hours of my water breaking.  So she broke my water and not one contraction for 10 minutes! THEN - they came every 2 minutes.  Within an hour they were filling the birthing tub, and I was literally holding onto the walls because the pain was just too much.  I felt like I wanted to crawl out of my skin.
I got into the tub and within minutes I told her that I felt the baby moving down and I started shaking, the nurse was alone and she called for my midwife (screaming down the hall).  2 other nurses ran in and my midwife came in.  EVERY SINGLE PERSON I am sure heard me screaming, I was not that calm, collected and centered Mom that I wanted to be.  I was out of control!  From the time my water broke until the time Hayden was born was 2 1/2 hours.  So my body went from almost 3 cm to 10 in about 2 hours and I pushed maybe for 20 minutes.  Hayden was born with the cord around his neck and with his arm around his head!  My midwife, told me this while I was screaming, HELP ME!  My husband was holding my hand the whole time and this was the 1st birth it was just him and I and it was really nice to just have it be the 2 of us.  I think if my Mom would have seen me like this she would have freaked! 
So at 8:56pm Hayden Michael joined our family, and I said "I did it!"  My body was in a state of shock, I couldn't move, I was just so happy to have him with us.  We sat in the tub together and I was and still am in awe of him!
With Hayden's arrival, I get to experience new adventures, try new products and I hope you will take this journey with me.  I am going to be blogging more, having giveaways, maybe even adding new products that I am trying:)  I am happy, I'm a little worn out, but I feel so lucky and so blessed!
