Thankfully I have some wonderful and wise friends and family who have shared their recommendations and experiences with all things baby gear.
While we are novices in the area, here is one baby gear item that Matt and I discovered that we are thrilled about...
Shortly after we discovered we were pregnant, my sister sent me an article with 30 items that all new parents need. In the article, we discovered this baby monitor. We did a little more research and loved that the monitor was accessible through our iPad and iPhones. When we discovered that the monitor was accessible anywhere in the world, we were sold.
Basically, Matt will be able to access the monitor from Colombia at any time. He can see the baby, play music, and even speak to our little Georgie through the app.
A few weeks ago we set up the monitor.
We were excited that it worked as well as we expected and we could view video, turn on a night light, play lullabies, and speak through the app.
We even tried it when I was in Colombia to make sure that Matt would have access to baby George.
This is a snapshot from our viewing party.
There's probably a lot of bells and whistles to this monitor that aren't really necessary, but the idea that Matt can take a peek at our little one any time he likes, makes me smile.
While it probably wasn't created for first-time parents, who live in Colombia, but will have their baby in the US and spend the first ten weeks apart, it seems like a perfect piece of baby gear for our situation.
Speaking of baby gear, I am in Iowa this week, spending time with friends and family and celebrating George at a baby shower.
