My 5 month giant girl is growing out of her 6 month footie pj's

The only problem? She has unlocked scritchy scratch for her itchy eczema skin. She needs hand jail at night so she doesnt scratch her poor little head <3

Most brands seem to stop the hand covers by 6 months... do you guys know of any that keep the hand covers going strong 9 months and beyond?

(Im sure you can also relate to the daily nail filing and clipping haha)

Longtime lurker here!

husband and I were undecided about having kids for years. I had always assumed clarity would come to me sometime when i was older. Five years passed. Ten. For me my mid-thirties felt like a ticking clock. Husband and I decided to make a choice and I felt unsettled even as i stepped onto the moving train of pregnancy and motherhood. I was uncertain but ready to commit to the choice we made... even without the clarity I wanted (waited for, prayed for) so badly.

Then my daughter was born. The second I met her she became my clarity. I couldn't imagine there was ever a time I was uncertain. I knew in that moment we had made the right choice and I still feel that clarity, bone deep, half a year later. I know thats not a very long time but I feel certain now in a way I have not often felt in my life. I was meant to be a mother.

I tell you this because making this choice (either way) may feel like the biggest leap of faith you'll ever make... and I wish and believe for you that, even if you dont find the clarity you seek before your choice, that you will feel it in your soul later... either on a grand and beautiful childless adventure, or while holding your new baby close to your heart.

You've got this! <3
