If you’re ever interested in a diaper bag/ backpack when baby is more mobile and having a purse isn’t as practical try the Fawn design! I love it & I always get so many compliments on how cute and sleek it is!:)
Fawn Design or JuJuBe 😍 or Lily Jade. The JuJuBe Queen is the Nile BFF is life. I honestly felt like you’d get one of those. Not that the bag you picked out is unpractical, but girl you gonna need pockets. Lots of pockets. They also have a JuJuBe Be Classy. Which i got for dinner dates etc. and I still use these bags and he’s almost 2. I love them. I carry way less than i did when he was newborn but still enough to need the bags.
Best baby haul video ever! You are so entertaining and always have wonderful products and cool stuff in your videos 💕🥰 My Husband and I are expecting our first baby boy together and your videos make me so happy! Don’t let people discourage you from buying all the cute stuff just use some shout and buy it if you can afford it! It’s all about the memories 😇
Go crazy with all the baby stuff! Your baby is your first, and it’s fun buying all the cool things they have for babies! Everyone is going to have opinions. At the end of the day, it’s your baby, and you should be able to enjoy these moments! 🙂
No matter how much advice you get about purchases or choices, just do what feels right to you and what you want! Literally every baby is so different, and don't expect everything to go as planned! Lol. We ended up buying five different things for our son to sleep in. Because I felt uneasy about literally everything. We also tried like five or four different kinds of bottles before finding one that worked. This made me even more excited for him to get here! I'm so happy for you guys. 💙
I would also grab a backpack diaper bag just Incase :) I had a purse one with my first baby and carrying it was a pain in the butt and can hurt your shoulder when your arms are already full! I have 2 kids and backpacks are 100% the way to go for diaper bags. I have one by SkipHop, but ItsyRitzy makes super cute and chic ones!
Katie Young I 100% agree I bought a Marc Jacobs diaper bag when I was pregnant and now that I'm pregnant with my second totally using a backpack this time. The diaper bag will be heavy and make you so unbalanced while your holding the car seat and it will slid off and drive you crazy!
Agree traded my beautiful purse diaper bag for a Fawn design backpack it's so much more convenient! Your hands get full quick once baby comes and it's easy to just put on a cute backpack!
I know how u feel girl!! I bought so many cute stuff and couldn’t wait to use it all with my baby boy. Boys are so sweet I can’t wait to see what your little one will look like!!!
One of my must haves was just plain white long sleeve onesies or sleepers with the sleeves flip over hands for mittens. They can wear them all the time when they are so tiny and that way they don’t scratch themselves. The sleeves that fold to mittens are so much nicer and cuter then the actual little mittens in my opinion.
When I was a first time mom I over did EVERYTHING including over packing the diaper bag lol. With me second I keep everything very easy for leaving the house! And our day to day life. But it’s totally normal! We get so excited the first time around and think we need everything! We’ve all done it so no body should tell you what to do. 😘 have fun with splurging and spoiling your baby boy he deserves it lol! you’re beautiful and can’t wait to see the baby boy omg! Congratulations you two! 💕
So true! The first one is so exciting. I mean they all are but everything is new the first time. It's just super fun. I also made rookie mom mistakes like going out twice (YES, 2 times!) with no nipple for the bottle! My little infant son was NOT happy. LOL! He's 11 now and every step of the way has been amazing! xoxo
The Halo SleepSack Swaddle is amazing! I have a 7 day old and she wears it to bed every night and it keeps her so warm and cozy. She only wakes up once or twice a night and I think it's because she's so comfy.
My baby boy, Benjamin, is 7 days old today so it’s fun to watch what you have planned to use. Everything you mentioned is perfect. I wasn’t as prepared as you are. I purchased the dockatot a couple days because little man is having trouble sleeping in the bassinet. So far he likes it ☺️ this sleep deprived mommy is happy!
Loved this baby haul! While I’m not pregnant, it gives me inspiration and ideas when the time comes ! And I love that bag you can put your purse in to protect it! 😍 ya don’t have to be preggers to use it! Love it !
Ohhhh man.... this haul legit makes me want to have a baby just so I can buy cute things for it. So happy for you and Michael and I can’t wait until baby boy makes his debut on your channels!!!!
I’m obsessed with the halo swaddle. We had Velcro ones and quickly found out how annoying and loud they are when changing at night. Plus the halo zips from top and bottom, which keeps the baby swaddled and you can easily change them during naps or sleep. They’re a godsend.
I try not to comment hate comments when there's like a newborn haul especially with first time mom's because I was a first time mom and I went all out but I learned. So go all out and you will learn from your mistakes 💗💗💗 I can't wait for the little man
My girls are 3 and 5 so realistically I could comment on what you need, should get, should get and blah blah blah. But honestly....if you can afford it, buy it all hahahaha you only get to buy teenie tiny clothes and shoes so many times in your life for you babies. Nothing you do is wrong or can be wrong!!!!!
The sleepsack is really nice when the baby starts to roll around and is more mobile. Great way to make sure they are covered up all night with out any loose blankets.
I noticed you got a lot of white clothes or light colors in rugs. Just remember when you get pee, poop, blow out poops,spit up, throw up, and any other fluids that come out of your little guy the stains will show up alot easier. Regular Dawn soap works get on stains. Things are cute but you have to remember about the mess your little guy is going to make all over himself and you. Lol! Just keeping it really with you Alex😁 Also please make sure after you install the carseat base to get it checked at a police station or fire station. My hubby is a firefighter and always stress this to parents. He has been on very bad calls where the child is injured because the car seat was on installed properly. Great haul and can't wait to see more.
All white clothes is the BEST for newborns babies!!! bleaches right out! lol the main reason i went with an all white couch... its. the best with 3 dogs - 2 pits, a german shepherd, a 15yo and a 3yo and a filthy man. LOL..
Marcella Murphy My son pooped across the room once. We were changing his diaper and he decided to poop with so much force that it shot across the room got all over everything! My daughter was the queen of massive poops. She had poops that couldn’t be contained in her diapers and would come out of the sides of her legs, tummy and back. She destroyed so many outfits that girl. No I wasn’t feeding her too much, she would just not poop as frequently.
So true lol! My sons cute blankets and swaddles were all full of poop or spit up stains .. lol and honestly I was like this with my first baby .. by the third I really didn’t need so many things. I really did learn that Simplicity was best.
Love the car seat check recommendation! Just make sure the fire station/police department you go to are properly trained in safe car seat installation, most are not. 😕
That stroller is BEAUTIFUL 😍😍 your videos and vlogs are so full of joy. Can’t imagine how excited you guys must be if I’m THIS excited lol. Prayers to you and your sweet family.
The best thing my husband and I discovered with baby no 2 was to get a car organizer- one of those divided storage pieces that sits on the floor of the trunk or even on floor in front of baby's car seat (off amazon) and then put a nice organized row of diapers, wipes, 2 extra sets of clothes, Desitin, etc. that way, whenever you leave the house, you've at least got the basics, no matter what state the diaper bag is in. It makes travel so so much easier. ; ).
I'm not married yet and have no plans on having children for a couple of years but this is making me really want a baby so I can buy all of your stuff! I feel like we are all in this together! It's crazy how watching you guys on you tube can make all of us feel like this one awesome unit! You guys rock I love you so much!
I already have my two girls and have no desire to have anymore babies but I still had to watch this! Everything you picked is super cute and don't worry about the comments because every experience is different and knowing what you need or don't is just something you pick up as you go. Can't wait to meet baby Maddalena-Garza 🙏🏼♥️
My husband and I love the Dr. Brown's bottles. Do they have several parts and is it a lot to clean? Yes, but that doesn't take away the fact that they work great. Especially for fussy babies who spit up. Our pediatrician recommended them for our daughter. She such a happy baby. Super excited to meet your precious baby boy. Congratulations.
Yes! Those sleep sack swaddles are the best! Your baby will sleep so much better in those! Target has them too, might be another brand but I've used them and they worked great and come in cute patterns. I love the neutral colors and baby gear in all black!
I remember getting two diaper bags when i was waiting on my twins to arrive one cute one for mom and a less feminine backback for my hubs to use... skip forward to when they came home i maybe only used my diaper bag 2 times bc it wasnt practical. To this day we solely use the backback and the girls are 3 (now used only on all day outings in case of accidents). The backpack is the graco smartsystem... not the fanciest of bags but lifesaver when it comes to practicality
I loved this video. Although I am not a mother my friends are popping babies like crazy and this gave me some great ideas for gifts. Can’t wait to see your baby!
Hands down LOVE the Como Tomo bottles. I breastfeed my baby and when I introduced this bottle it was a super easy transition! Very easy to clean and to fit in my bag. I have the 2 sizes. Now that my baby is older he uses them everyday! Definitely recommend them!
I have to agree with this! I think I bought 6 different types of bottles because it was difficult to transition my son from breast to bottle... a friend recommended I try the Como Tomo bottles and he loved them!
I'm not a mom but this gives me baby fever! I look up a lot of mommy-related videos for fun and have been around babies my whole life. Just keep in mind that the bottle preference is always up to the baby not to the mom. Who knows, he might not like the ones you purchased. So excited for the little one to come!
So excited for you guys! I just had a baby boy 8 months ago and it’s the best!!! Just wanted to mention we use these Burt’s bees burp cloths everyday and have since the day he was born. I literally use them for everything they are super soft and really handy. I know you’re getting a lot of advice but hopefully that helps you out!
I feel the same excitement, i can't wait for the BABY VLOGS!!!!! I love your style and its gonna be so cute on a baby boy! love all the baby blues and greys
Alexandrea Garza do you have a milk snob car seat cover? One of my very favorite baby items. It’s a nursing cover that provides complete privacy but then stretches over the car seat to keep the baby covered. Highly recommend 😀😀
Loooove the video!!! I’m so ordering those Pom Pom hats for my 3 month old too cute! You will be a great mom! Can’t wait to see “ how I️ style my baby” videos 😍
Hi Alex! Did you know...Columbia University did a study with dates, and the study showed that the women who ate 5-6 dates a day for at least the last month before their expected due date, they had easier/shorter labors. My first was a cesarean, and then I had two successful VBACs (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean), and a midwife I had for my first VBAC gave me this paper about the study. So I ate dates, and I honestly had two pretty easy natural births. Anyway, I just wanted to share that story. You are so adorable!! Thank you for sharing your BABY HAUL!! :)
And of course being focused, relaxed as much as possible, going to the chiropractor (during pregnancy), and having a Doula were factors too, but I believe in the dates! lol Prayers for a smooth labor, safe delivery, and healthy baby boy! :)
That dockatot saved my life!!!! We actually put it inside the bassinet and my daughter slept so great! It made traveling easy because her sleep environment was always the same. We used the bigger size to transition her from the bassinet to her crib at 8 months old. We will use it again to transition her from the crib to her toddler bed. Highly recommend!!
Love the video and the haul! You guys have been giving me serious baby fever and I'm excited to see what the little guy looks like 😍 I've watched all the vlogs and you guys are the sweetest ❤️❤️❤️
Yay, baby haul!! Everything is adorable and now I’m definitely going to have to get some of the Pom Pom hats, too cute!! It’s so much fun to get everything ready for them. We’re less than 8 weeks now and so excited to meet our baby girl. You guys are adorable and remind me so much of my husband and I. We have our stroller all set up and walk it through the house too! Haha! I thought we were weird so seeing you two doing it made me feel better. LOL! For some reason it was one of the purchases I was most excited about.
Yes please to the pregnancy lookbook! It’s true you don’t need baby shoes but the ones you got will be great because they’re soft and more like slippers so I think your little man won’t mind wearing them and they will be soooooo adorable! I would’ve never thought of a translucent diaper bag, but I think it would work with the pouches you were talking about, it’d be good motivation to stay organized! At first I was picturing all the stuff in my diaper bag just rolling around in there for the world to see.... and aint nobody wanna to see that lol 🤣 beautiful haul - so fun to see you soaking up the whole motherhood experience ☺️
I'm not planning having a baby anytime soon, but you're taste is spot on with everything, for when I have my first 😍Love the neutral black & white theme. I remember watching your wedding bell's series and now you're having a baby! So happy for you 😘
This baby is going to be more stylish than me😂😂😂 Also, are you planning to film a nursery tour when it’s finished because I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Loved the haul! Definitely get some Aden & Anais swaddle blankets. They're great to use as quick burp cloths, nursing covers, blankets, etc. Also the fisher price rock n play is a MUST! Huge lifesaver with a newborn!
I have been a sub. of yours FOREVER! So happy for you and Michael! I LOVE everything you have for baby! I am currently 37 weeks 2 days (first time momma) having a baby boy as well, I am beyond excited to meet him! 😘💙
Yes Alex please do a maternity clothing look book! I am currently 19 weeks pregnant with my second boy! So i am excited watching your baby videos and getting ideas! Boys are so fun! My boy now is almost 17 months so they’ll be almost 2 years apart and besties! I can’t Wait! Also we never told anyone (besides family) our first sons name until he was born! It’s a nice surprise especially when everyone knows what you’re having! Best of luck to you guys! And don’t listen to anyone about the shoes! My son has a TON of shoes and i want more still hahaha they’re so cute i can’t help myself lol. Some family members complain to us that he has too many but it’s our choice just like it’s yours! I LOVE your stroller. But we’re looking into double ones now 😍and that diaper bag is adorable!! I got something that was neutral also so It didn’t look silly with my outfit! Ours is navy but i want another for baby #2! And the nose Frieda is amazing!!! Our son hated It but It works so well boogies! We had a como tomo bottle our son liked It, he also liked tommee tippee now he likes the nuk bottles since he is a little bit older now
I loved everything you bought!!! So much inspiration for when I have kids!! Maybe think about keeping the sleep sack for when you transition the baby from being swaddled! My nephew loved being swaddled, but as soon as he could roll over (5/6 months old) we started using the sleep sack! Congratulations, I am so excited for you both!!!
Dr brown bottles are the best!!! I got them and my daughter loved them. She wouldn't take any other ones. A lot of my friends had babies when I did and they all ended up switching to Dr brown!!! It's nice because they don't get all that air while feeding. Love your stroller! You have a lot of the best things you will need to get started. Can't wait to see the nursery!!!
Dr. Browns are our favorites! Baby boy will let you know what he likes and doesn’t like. We tried something similar to the other bottle you had and my little guy hated it. My doctors Browns bottles have held up amazing! Also the Baby Brezza sterilizer system is AMAZING! So easy to sterilize all your bottles, pacis, and small toys. Highly recommend it. Absolutely love everything you picked! ❤️ You won’t regret the all black stroller. It is so easy to wipe down and keep looking brand new.
I use the Dr. Browns bottles and its literally 2 extra pieces you have to wash. I think its worth it so my baby doesn’t take in excess air. Awesome haul! You guys are well prepared! My only advice is pick up an extra carseat base if you didnt already! 💙
The Dr Browns bottled saved our lives when our baby boy had colic! Also look into "comfort"' formula from the beginning, if you are bottle feeding. It honestly makes such a difference as it is easier to digest. Loved the haul 🤗
My taste in baby items is so similar! I have a 3 year old and 4 month old (both boys) and have loved neutrals the entire time! you’re in for such an amazing experience! Congratulations mama! 💕
You might regret buying all those white/light colored clothes. Between diaper blow outs, and spit-up there is a lot of staining ;). Anyway, cute stuff! Shopping for baby stuff is so much fun!
I think all white clothes is probably easier to stain treat than coloured stuff. When you have coloured clothes you can't bleach (baking soda & sun bleach) because when you remove the stain you'll ruin the clothing. Coloured clothing just hides dirt and stains... Doesn't prevent them.
Another suggestion is getting the Tote Savy organizer to put in the bag, they have it in all colors and two different sizes! I use it inside my regular LV and MK bags
My husband and I are trying right now, and this is such inspiration. Pretty cool because when you were nearly engaged my husband was preparing to propose and we got married just after you guys. Now we are trying after you guys have been pregnant for awhile 💕 Hopefully we are pregnant soon.
Hi Alex! I've been watching your videos for years and it is so cute to see how excited you are for your first baby. Congrats to you and Michael!! I have two babies - both loved the Dr Browns bottles but honestly you'll have to see what baby likes. Same with the pacifiers. One suggestion - get a few onesies that have built-in mittens, they scratch their faces so much at the beginning, you gotta cover those finger nails. Carter's has good ones. Also some pants with built in footies. Tiny baby feet don't want to keep socks on! You're doing an awesome job so far with your baby haul :)
I have 2 toddlers and Dr Browns bottles were my favorite! They’re the best! I do agree with some others that a backpack diaper bag is the way to go. It’s so much easier, especially if you still want to carry a purse. So excited for you guys!! I can’t wait to hear what his name is!
So cute!! I love the diaper bag i feel like that’s such a unique/a good idea! Also can’t wait to see the nursery, i feel like my style is the exact same as yours so i always love getting ideas from you!! Thanks for sharing!! 😊
H&M has the best clothes for baby boys! And I would love a pregnancy look book. I looked like a troll my first pregnancy and I’m hoping to up my style game for the next one.
Michal Mangiameli agreed on H&M! I have a girl, and love their stuff too. I always drool over the boy stuff because it’s like tiny versions of their men’s clothing! Lol
I have a son that's almost 9monthd old. Being a mom to a boy is so much fun! It's the greatest thing :) Also I started out with the dr.browns bottles too. I got a bunch for my baby shower but ended up not being able to use them :/ babies are picky with bottles and some won't take certain ones. My son refused them so you never know! Love all the stuff you got :) also the swaddles are the best! Makes them still feel like they're in the womb so it comforts them and hopefully helps you get some sleep. Ever since he started being swaddled he sleeps 12-13hrs straight! Congrats again on being parents!
Loved this baby haul! You gave so many great tips on what to get and what I need. I really liked the Dockatot I will have to get that for my little one. I would love to see a video on how you are dressing the bump. I could use some tips on how to keep my style, how to dress the bump, and where to get some cute clothes!
If you’re ever interested in a diaper bag/ backpack when baby is more mobile and having a purse isn’t as practical try the Fawn design! I love it & I always get so many compliments on how cute and sleek it is!:)
Ok I’ll check it out!
Fawn Design or JuJuBe 😍 or Lily Jade.
The JuJuBe Queen is the Nile BFF is life. I honestly felt like you’d get one of those.
Not that the bag you picked out is unpractical, but girl you gonna need pockets.
Lots of pockets.
They also have a JuJuBe Be Classy. Which i got for dinner dates etc.
and I still use these bags and he’s almost 2. I love them. I carry way less than i did when he was newborn but still enough to need the bags.
I love Fawn only deal breaker for me is that the backpack straps are not completely removable. I ended up getting Petunia Pickle Bottom and I love it.
How exciting, I’ve been watching you from the beginning and it’s so fun to see you go through all of these life stages!
Best baby haul video ever! You are so entertaining and always have wonderful products and cool stuff in your videos 💕🥰 My Husband and I are expecting our first baby boy together and your videos make me so happy! Don’t let people discourage you from buying all the cute stuff just use some shout and buy it if you can afford it! It’s all about the memories 😇
So excited yo see how the nursery is going to look!! Your little baby boy is going to look adorable in everything! love you guys!!
its so adorable how excited you and michael are for the baby to arrive ☺️
Those shoes are adorable! Good for you for buying what you want for your son!
Go crazy with all the baby stuff! Your baby is your first, and it’s fun buying all the cool things they have for babies! Everyone is going to have opinions. At the end of the day, it’s your baby, and you should be able to enjoy these moments! 🙂

Ryla also has super cute backpacks 😍 Got mine from there
First time moms always wanna stay stylish but yess I agree backpacks are the way to go!
Agree traded my beautiful purse diaper bag for a Fawn design backpack it's so much more convenient! Your hands get full quick once baby comes and it's easy to just put on a cute backpack!
I know how u feel girl!! I bought so many cute stuff and couldn’t wait to use it all with my baby boy. Boys are so sweet I can’t wait to see what your little one will look like!!!

Congratulations you two! 💕
Thanks so much! ❤️❤️❤️
Same here I overpacked so much! I had a bunch of wipes lol 😂 pacifier wipes, hand wipes, baby wipes, wet ones sanitizing wipes lol
Chloe Nelson couldn’t agree more! Currently 37.5 weeks along with baby #4. You figure out what you need through experience. No one should judge!
So true! The first one is so exciting. I mean they all are but everything is new the first time. It's just super fun. I also made rookie mom mistakes like going out twice (YES, 2 times!) with no nipple for the bottle! My little infant son was NOT happy. LOL! He's 11 now and every step of the way has been amazing! xoxo
Your son is going to be so perfect, his outfits and nursery will be on point omg.
Aw thank you!
everything in your haul is so beautiful! we are so excited for your baby boy to arrive!!
Ahhh!!! This baby Haul is the cutest on earth!!! I am so excited for you guys! Baby is going to be so special! :) 💙
I have baby fever after watching this! So so cute. Babies do need shoes and he’s a lucky guy to be so super stylin’ with the ones you picked out.
The Halo SleepSack Swaddle is amazing! I have a 7 day old and she wears it to bed every night and it keeps her so warm and cozy. She only wakes up once or twice a night and I think it's because she's so comfy.

the bag was so cute!!
Southern Belle Michelle I
Ohhhh man.... this haul legit makes me want to have a baby just so I can buy cute things for it. So happy for you and Michael and I can’t wait until baby boy makes his debut on your channels!!!!
Omg the Halo sleep sack is the best!!!! My son could not sleep without for 6 or 7 months! Best thing ever!
You are going to be the cutest little mama, that boy is so lucky to have you and Michael! Such fun parents
Thank you so much!
I’m obsessed with the halo swaddle. We had Velcro ones and quickly found out how annoying and loud they are when changing at night. Plus the halo zips from top and bottom, which keeps the baby swaddled and you can easily change them during naps or sleep. They’re a godsend.
Such cute stuff. We all went and bought what we thought was cute for our babies. Enjoy
I try not to comment hate comments when there's like a newborn haul especially with first time mom's because I was a first time mom and I went all out but I learned. So go all out and you will learn from your mistakes 💗💗💗 I can't wait for the little man
Betsy Soto I agree 💯 I was like really 🙄
Yaaas, half of the stuff is unnecessary.. that diaper bag.... gurl you’ll learn. But it is an exciting time, you can afford it, so i get it.
My girls are 3 and 5 so realistically I could comment on what you need, should get, should get and blah blah blah. But honestly....if you can afford it, buy it all hahahaha you only get to buy teenie tiny clothes and shoes so many times in your life for you babies. Nothing you do is wrong or can be wrong!!!!!
The sleepsack is really nice when the baby starts to roll around and is more mobile. Great way to make sure they are covered up all night with out any loose blankets.
I noticed you got a lot of white clothes or light colors in rugs.

My hubby is a firefighter and always stress this to parents. He has been on very bad calls where the child is injured because the car seat was on installed properly. Great haul and can't wait to see more.
Marcella Murphy most of the fire stations and health departments will install the entire car seat for free!
All white clothes is the BEST for newborns babies!!! bleaches right out! lol the main reason i went with an all white couch... its. the best with 3 dogs - 2 pits, a german shepherd, a 15yo and a 3yo and a filthy man. LOL..

Baby shoes are my favorite thing to buy for my friends kids. They are too cute! Can’t wait for the baby to arrive.
Super cute!! Love your style! Your baby is blessed to have you as a momma!
Yes! Those sleep sack swaddles are the best! Your baby will sleep so much better in those! Target has them too, might be another brand but I've used them and they worked great and come in cute patterns. I love the neutral colors and baby gear in all black!
I love this video!!! So much fun to look forward to 😍😍😍😍
so excited to see baby boy!!
I remember getting two diaper bags when i was waiting on my twins to arrive one cute one for mom and a less feminine backback for my hubs to use... skip forward to when they came home i maybe only used my diaper bag 2 times bc it wasnt practical. To this day we solely use the backback and the girls are 3 (now used only on all day outings in case of accidents). The backpack is the graco smartsystem... not the fanciest of bags but lifesaver when it comes to practicality
I loved this video. Although I am not a mother my friends are popping babies like crazy and this gave me some great ideas for gifts. Can’t wait to see your baby!
Hands down LOVE the Como Tomo bottles. I breastfeed my baby and when I introduced this bottle it was a super easy transition! Very easy to clean and to fit in my bag. I have the 2 sizes. Now that my baby is older he uses them everyday! Definitely recommend them!
Great to know thank you!
I have to agree with this! I think I bought 6 different types of bottles because it was difficult to transition my son from breast to bottle... a friend recommended I try the Como Tomo bottles and he loved them!
Don’t forget some gowns for easy night changes. Goosebumps (knotted sack) is my fav. So soft!
I'm not a mom but this gives me baby fever! I look up a lot of mommy-related videos for fun and have been around babies my whole life. Just keep in mind that the bottle preference is always up to the baby not to the mom. Who knows, he might not like the ones you purchased. So excited for the little one to come!
So excited for you guys! I just had a baby boy 8 months ago and it’s the best!!! Just wanted to mention we use these Burt’s bees burp cloths everyday and have since the day he was born. I literally use them for everything they are super soft and really handy. I know you’re getting a lot of advice but hopefully that helps you out!
I feel the same excitement, i can't wait for the BABY VLOGS!!!!! I love your style and its gonna be so cute on a baby boy! love all the baby blues and greys
Aw thank you!
Alexandrea Garza do you have a milk snob car seat cover? One of my very favorite baby items. It’s a nursing cover that provides complete privacy but then stretches over the car seat to keep the baby covered. Highly recommend 😀😀
Everything is so cute! Congratulations on your little man! So exciting!
Loooove the video!!! I’m so ordering those Pom Pom hats for my 3 month old too cute! You will be a great mom! Can’t wait to see “ how I️ style my baby” videos 😍
Way to represent for the boy mamas! I love the hats and swaddles you've found. I definitely want to purchase some of those for my little man.
I think the shoe idea is so cute!! I love little baby shoes they look so cute!
We need more baby boy hauls!🙌🏻❤️
Hi Alex! Did you know...Columbia University did a study with dates, and the study showed that the women who ate 5-6 dates a day for at least the last month before their expected due date, they had easier/shorter labors. My first was a cesarean, and then I had two successful VBACs (Vaginal Birth After Cesarean), and a midwife I had for my first VBAC gave me this paper about the study. So I ate dates, and I honestly had two pretty easy natural births. Anyway, I just wanted to share that story. You are so adorable!! Thank you for sharing your BABY HAUL!! :)
Interesting! Thanks!
;
You are so welcome! Love you guys! :)
And of course being focused, relaxed as much as possible, going to the chiropractor (during pregnancy), and having a Doula were factors too, but I believe in the dates! lol Prayers for a smooth labor, safe delivery, and healthy baby boy! :)
Yes you’re right! Mama Natural wrote about it in her website! She is amazing!
That dockatot saved my life!!!! We actually put it inside the bassinet and my daughter slept so great! It made traveling easy because her sleep environment was always the same. We used the bigger size to transition her from the bassinet to her crib at 8 months old. We will use it again to transition her from the crib to her toddler bed. Highly recommend!!
Love the video and the haul! You guys have been giving me serious baby fever and I'm excited to see what the little guy looks like 😍 I've watched all the vlogs and you guys are the sweetest ❤️❤️❤️
Aw thank you!
Yay, baby haul!! Everything is adorable and now I’m definitely going to have to get some of the Pom Pom hats, too cute!! It’s so much fun to get everything ready for them. We’re less than 8 weeks now and so excited to meet our baby girl. You guys are adorable and remind me so much of my husband and I. We have our stroller all set up and walk it through the house too! Haha! I thought we were weird so seeing you two doing it made me feel better. LOL! For some reason it was one of the purchases I was most excited about.
Alex, you will love and be very happy with your selections.... my daughters have almost everything you have for their babies and they love them.
Omg PLEASE do the maternity look book 🙏🏼
I don’t care if babies need shoes... they’re fricken adorable. Just seeing those tiny shoes is heart melting! 💙
Yes please to the pregnancy lookbook! It’s true you don’t need baby shoes but the ones you got will be great because they’re soft and more like slippers so I think your little man won’t mind wearing them and they will be soooooo adorable! I would’ve never thought of a translucent diaper bag, but I think it would work with the pouches you were talking about, it’d be good motivation to stay organized! At first I was picturing all the stuff in my diaper bag just rolling around in there for the world to see.... and aint nobody wanna to see that lol 🤣 beautiful haul - so fun to see you soaking up the whole motherhood experience ☺️
This video was so cute ! I’m so happy for you guys !! & absolutely love the stroller !
I have an almost 2 year old boy and we love Old Navy and Gap for clothes! They have the cutest stuff!
I'm not planning having a baby anytime soon, but you're taste is spot on with everything, for when I have my first 😍Love the neutral black & white theme. I remember watching your wedding bell's series and now you're having a baby! So happy for you 😘
Aw thank you so much!
Yes do the 3D/4D ultrasound! Well worth it! I had one with both my kids and it was so cool to compare their newborn pics to the ultrasound pics ☺️
This baby is going to be more stylish than me😂😂😂 Also, are you planning to film a nursery tour when it’s finished because I can’t wait to see how it turns out!
Loved the haul! Definitely get some Aden & Anais swaddle blankets. They're great to use as quick burp cloths, nursing covers, blankets, etc. Also the fisher price rock n play is a MUST! Huge lifesaver with a newborn!
That sleep sack is amazing. My baby would kick the covers off and this took care of that problem!
I have been a sub. of yours FOREVER! So happy for you and Michael! I LOVE everything you have for baby! I am currently 37 weeks 2 days (first time momma) having a baby boy as well, I am beyond excited to meet him! 😘💙
I love that you’re making the baby theme videos a little longer 🙈- I think you know how much we enjoy them lol.
Yes Alex please do a maternity clothing look book! I am currently 19 weeks pregnant with my second boy! So i am excited watching your baby videos and getting ideas! Boys are so fun! My boy now is almost 17 months so they’ll be almost 2 years apart and besties! I can’t Wait! Also we never told anyone (besides family) our first sons name until he was born! It’s a nice surprise especially when everyone knows what you’re having! Best of luck to you guys! And don’t listen to anyone about the shoes! My son has a TON of shoes and i want more still hahaha they’re so cute i can’t help myself lol. Some family members complain to us that he has too many but it’s our choice just like it’s yours! I LOVE your stroller. But we’re looking into double ones now 😍and that diaper bag is adorable!! I got something that was neutral also so It didn’t look silly with my outfit! Ours is navy but i want another for baby #2! And the nose Frieda is amazing!!! Our son hated It but It works so well boogies! We had a como tomo bottle our son liked It, he also liked tommee tippee now he likes the nuk bottles since he is a little bit older now
Such a great haul video! Loving so many things!!! 💙🖤💙🖤💙
I loved everything you bought!!! So much inspiration for when I have kids!! Maybe think about keeping the sleep sack for when you transition the baby from being swaddled! My nephew loved being swaddled, but as soon as he could roll over (5/6 months old) we started using the sleep sack! Congratulations, I am so excited for you both!!!
Dr brown bottles are the best!!! I got them and my daughter loved them. She wouldn't take any other ones. A lot of my friends had babies when I did and they all ended up switching to Dr brown!!! It's nice because they don't get all that air while feeding. Love your stroller! You have a lot of the best things you will need to get started. Can't wait to see the nursery!!!
Those swaddles are the best! 😍
Cutest mama award 🏆💕
Dr. Browns are our favorites! Baby boy will let you know what he likes and doesn’t like. We tried something similar to the other bottle you had and my little guy hated it. My doctors Browns bottles have held up amazing! Also the Baby Brezza sterilizer system is AMAZING! So easy to sterilize all your bottles, pacis, and small toys. Highly recommend it. Absolutely love everything you picked! ❤️ You won’t regret the all black stroller. It is so easy to wipe down and keep looking brand new.
Awesome! Good to know! Thank you ❤️❤️
I use the Dr. Browns bottles and its literally 2 extra pieces you have to wash. I think its worth it so my baby doesn’t take in excess air. Awesome haul! You guys are well prepared! My only advice is pick up an extra carseat base if you didnt already! 💙
I love the hats w/the Pom Poms.
The Dr Browns bottled saved our lives when our baby boy had colic! Also look into "comfort"' formula from the beginning, if you are bottle feeding. It honestly makes such a difference as it is easier to digest. Loved the haul 🤗
My taste in baby items is so similar! I have a 3 year old and 4 month old (both boys) and have loved neutrals the entire time! you’re in for such an amazing experience! Congratulations mama! 💕
Thank you!
Thank god you finally uploaded this! I’m having my boy in less than 6 weeks and needs ideas!!!! 🤜🏼🤛🏼
Ah so soon! Congratulations!
You might regret buying all those white/light colored clothes. Between diaper blow outs, and spit-up there is a lot of staining ;). Anyway, cute stuff! Shopping for baby stuff is so much fun!
I think all white clothes is probably easier to stain treat than coloured stuff. When you have coloured clothes you can't bleach (baking soda & sun bleach) because when you remove the stain you'll ruin the clothing. Coloured clothing just hides dirt and stains... Doesn't prevent them.
We did all black and white, and we did fine lol everything is still in pristine condition.
That mobile is DARLING! 😍😍😍
Another suggestion is getting the Tote Savy organizer to put in the bag, they have it in all colors and two different sizes! I use it inside my regular LV and MK bags
My husband and I are trying right now, and this is such inspiration.
Pretty cool because when you were nearly engaged my husband was preparing to propose and we got married just after you guys. Now we are trying after you guys have been pregnant for awhile 💕 Hopefully we are pregnant soon.
I'm so excited for you! I'm only 19 so no baby soon but I will be coming back to this video when I have my own baby!
Hi Alex! I've been watching your videos for years and it is so cute to see how excited you are for your first baby. Congrats to you and Michael!! I have two babies - both loved the Dr Browns bottles but honestly you'll have to see what baby likes. Same with the pacifiers. One suggestion - get a few onesies that have built-in mittens, they scratch their faces so much at the beginning, you gotta cover those finger nails. Carter's has good ones. Also some pants with built in footies. Tiny baby feet don't want to keep socks on! You're doing an awesome job so far with your baby haul :)
That angel wing swaddle 😍😍😍 NEED to get that for my baby!!
I have 2 toddlers and Dr Browns bottles were my favorite! They’re the best! I do agree with some others that a backpack diaper bag is the way to go. It’s so much easier, especially if you still want to carry a purse. So excited for you guys!! I can’t wait to hear what his name is!
Everything is so adorable! So excited for y’all!
So cute!! I love the diaper bag i feel like that’s such a unique/a good idea! Also can’t wait to see the nursery, i feel like my style is the exact same as yours so i always love getting ideas from you!! Thanks for sharing!! 😊
Thank you!!
H&M has the best clothes for baby boys! And I would love a pregnancy look book. I looked like a troll my first pregnancy and I’m hoping to up my style game for the next one.
Michal Mangiameli agreed on H&M! I have a girl, and love their stuff too. I always drool over the boy stuff because it’s like tiny versions of their men’s clothing! Lol
Love the mobile! I checked out their website and they have some gorgeous swaddles! Thanks for showing! Can't wait to start doing our nursery!
Black baby stuff! I love it! 😘
theCapitana blog 🤔🤔 enlighten me
I have a son that's almost 9monthd old. Being a mom to a boy is so much fun! It's the greatest thing :) Also I started out with the dr.browns bottles too. I got a bunch for my baby shower but ended up not being able to use them :/ babies are picky with bottles and some won't take certain ones. My son refused them so you never know! Love all the stuff you got :) also the swaddles are the best! Makes them still feel like they're in the womb so it comforts them and hopefully helps you get some sleep. Ever since he started being swaddled he sleeps 12-13hrs straight! Congrats again on being parents!
Loved this video, the Dr. Brown bottles are the best.
All I can say is - wow! Lucky baby!
the stroller is amazing!
So cute, I can't wait for the nursery reveal
I’m excited to get to work on it!
Loved this baby haul! You gave so many great tips on what to get and what I need. I really liked the Dockatot I will have to get that for my little one. I would love to see a video on how you are dressing the bump. I could use some tips on how to keep my style, how to dress the bump, and where to get some cute clothes!
