~How to Use an Infant Car Seat Cover

You may be wondering what exactly is an Infant Car Seat Cover? Or why do I need one? As a mother of twins, I know that having an Infant Car Seat Cover is a MUST! Not only are they cute, they are very functional and are life-savers when it is cold out!
KuddleBugz Infant Car Seat Covers are made with either Fleece and Flannel or Corduroy and Fleece fabrics. I started making them with only one layer of fleece, but have discovered that having two layers of fabric protects baby much better! The Covers have elastic all around the outside to easily put it on your car seat. Also, there is an extra large flap to keep baby protected from the cold, wind, and rain!
How do you place baby in the car seat with the cover on? Well, it is very easy! You only need to lift up the bottom portion of the car seat cover and place your baby inside. When you go outside simply pull the car seat cover around the car seat! Once you are in the car, you can velcro up the flap so baby can see!
So, you may be thinking that it is a bit warm out to be thinking about an Infant Car Seat Cover! Fall and winter will be here before we know it! I will be adding more selection to my shop soon! Also, you can place and order for a CUSTOM order! I am more than happy to work with the colors or theme you have for your baby! Wholesale orders also welcome!
Please contact me for details!

Coming Soon ~The Kuddle Nursing Cover~

I am happy to announce that soon I will be adding nursing covers to my line of baby and mommy gifts! You will want to be sure to check back to get one for yourself or that upcoming baby shower! My nursing covers are unlike the popular covers you see where they only cover your front and have a strap around the neck! My covers wrap around the front and back! No more worrying if your side is showing, is the baby going to pull the cover up, or that your other children will "peek" at the baby only to expose you to everyone around! Come see them in person at the Pioneer Park Bazaar November 29-30th! Or check my website www.KuddleBugzThreadz.etsy.com

Kuddle Wrap ~Why Wear Your Baby?

Need an extra hand, or two? Carry your baby snugly and securely with a unique KuddleBugz Threadz baby wrap and have your hands free to carry groceries, make dinner, or tend to your other child(ren). Made of a durable interlock cotton fabric, giving you and your baby ultimate comfort combined with incredible style. The stretch in this material is primarily width wise, not length wise - which allows a perfect balance of durability and ease of use to provide what we feel makes these wraps stand alone. The stretch is just enough to hold your baby snugly to your body, yet allow for enough room to get your baby in and out of the wrap - but this material will not stretch to your knees by the end of the day like some other stretchy wraps.

Wearing your baby in a Kuddle wrap is great for those fussy times when baby just wants to be held, and it is easy for nursing your baby as well. Research has proven that babywearing leads to happier babies who fuss less and sleep more. Babywearing also helps babies learn about their surroundings, as they are up at eye level with mom and dad, seeing what we see instead of looking up at everything from the ground.

Your Kuddle wrap will come with detailed instructions on tying and wearing your baby. Wraps are 6 yards long and approx. 24 inches wide, and one size will fit most Moms (and Dads too). Wearing your baby in a Kuddle wrap will distribute the weight evenly over both shoulders, preventing back and shoulder strain and giving your arm muscles a break. Ideal for all babies from newborn up to 30+ lbs. Each wrap is handmade and machine washable. Keep your baby happy by holding them in their favorite place, close to your heart.

Another Baby Update!

Hi, we just got home late last night from Anchorage. We had a 3-D ultrasound and saw a specialist. At first when the ultrasound tech was looking for the heart arythmia, he couldn't find it. But then it started. So he did some measurements and things and then the doctor came it to see us.The doctor looked at the heart some more. And finally told us that we have a HEALTHY baby! And that what is going on is similar to a hic-up in the artery.He called it a premature artery something! But that there is nothing to worry about and that most likely this will go away once the baby is born and takes its first breathe.

On the other had we are having a very big baby. The baby is already measuring 5 lbs 9 oz.That is what Tori weighed at birth! And I have 2 months to go!So, the doctor said the baby may be born closer to August 23rd instead of September 7th! So, we are much releived and God does answer prayers! Thank you all for your prayers and thoughts! Toni, TimTori, Trista, and Baby

Update on the Baby

We recently found out that our unborn baby has a heart arythmia, which means a possible heart defect. We first heard it 2 weeks ago (the day we were leaving for vacation) and my doctor thought it may go away, so she wanted to see me again before sending me to a specialist. I had another appointment with my doctor last Thursday and the baby still has the same problem. So, she is sending me to Anchorage, which is about 6 hours away. I will be having a 3-D ultrasound to get a better look at the heart and seeing a specialist. I am praying that all goes well. And if there is something wrong it will be easy to fix once the baby is born. I am currently 32 weeks, nearing the end and getting anxious to hold my new little baby.

We are heading down Sunday after church and hope the girls do well on the trip. Please keep us in your thoughts and prayers! Thank you so much for the support from the Etsy community too!

Denali National Park

What a Beautiful Mother's Day!

Thank you!

We ventured down to Denail National Park on Mother's Day. It was a beautiful day to be out. I was excited to use my new camera! I have so much to learn about it, but I am having fun experimenting! We drove into the park and saw some moose and caribou. I was hoping for a bear, but no luck! We drove as far as we could on the road and then took the girls for a little walk. They really seemed to enjoy being able to "hike" around. It turned out to be a long day, but I enjoyed every part of it!

Here is a view of Mt. McKinnley on the way home. It was about 11 pm.

A wonderful shot of the moon that night!

It is hard to believe that the girls are already 20 months old! It won't be long before we are planning another birthday party for them! YIKES! They are so much fun and teach me to be patient ever day. They seem to be excited about the coming baby. They both love to hug and kiss my belly!

They have been sick off and on this winter! I am ready for spring to come, but spring doesn't come up here until about the end of April first part of May! We have seen some moose in our yard and Tori and Trista both love to look for more moose each day! They are so cute!

They are talking more and more each day! They both love to read books! Which is a good thing, but some days I wish they could read to themselves! And they love to play with their baby dolls. The other day Trista was trying to change her baby, it was so adorable!
