Do you or don't you?

Did you or didn’t you sip and see

I feel like babies come in spurts. I can really tell depending on how busy my workload is. It’s currently RAINING babies and with each new wave of babies, I learn more and more things.  I don’t think the concept of a sip and see existed when I had babies, but I think it is becoming more and more popular.

When I had the babies, I kept the same rule. The day of birth, no visitors. It was just too much. I have a huge family and the ins and outs of visitors was just overwhelming. I was healing up from surgery, praying that my milk would come in, peeing through a catheter AND had hospital staff in and out of my room every couple of hours. It’s exhausting; I was exhausted. I needed at least a day to rally, pull my life together and get in that QUALITY baby bonding.

Day two was fair game. I think I would have tried to keep them away longer, but everyone is always SO excited when there is a new baby. I mean, if you couldn’t tell by the numerous ‘baby here yet’ texts and messages– you’ve gotta share the love.  I had family come to the hospital and friends got to come when we got home.

But now apparently, there is something called a Sip and See. Whether it’s days, weeks or even months; a sip and see is the perfect way to introduce your newest addition to your friends and family. Sometimes these sip and sees happen in leiu of a baby shower and is much more casual.  Parents set a date and a time for friends and family to pop in see the baby, have a drink, eat light snacks and have a quick catch up.

I think it’s a great way to have people who are interested in popping in and taking a peek to meet the little with a lot less pressure. I can’t tell you how many different times you’ll have to set up times for every friend to come and meet the baby. . and with doctor appointments, feedings, naps, and just overall adjusting; I’m pretty sure a sip and see is the way to go. One and done.

They Call Me: Mom, MOM, MOMMAY

Hey there. I'm Kelsey. I live in sunny Manhattan Beach with my husband, Brendan, and our 3 kids- Natalie, Zoe & Travis. Natalie is almost 8 and is in the second grade. She is seriously a carbon copy of me.. Poor B. It's amazing at how fast she picks up on my likings and disliking, my mannerisms & sayings. Zoe is 5 and has the cutest little munchkin voice that can make you melt. Don’t be fooled because that girl is so strong willed and will fight you for what she wants and to top it off she’s blonde. Travis, my Dino loving three year old has really made our family complete. He is the perfect playing companion and is loyal to the bone. He’ll tell you how it is. As you could imagine, my life is nothing less than chaotic and though I can’t wait for 5 pm to hit-- I love my kids and my life.
