The first time I became a mommy, I was in my mid-twenties. Although my pregnancy was pretty uneventful, our son birthday was not. After an arduous labor, he finally joined us after an emergency c-section. I remember his first cry, I remember seeing him for the first time and then viewing how the nurses took him & my husband to the nursery area. I didn’t see them again for a few hours after that. During our time away from each other, I remember wanting to hold my baby and yearning to feel his warmth on my chest. After I was finally given a clean bill of health, I was able to reunite with my son & my husband. That journey was not easy, I was a new mom and all I wanted was to be with my baby, however, our first time together was nothing but memorable. Those firsts moments together were imprinted in my memories and I still remember how peaceful everything seemed and I couldn’t wait to experience all his firsts’ together as a family. After years passed and I became a mommy for the second and third time, I was familiar with the journey, but I couldn’t wait to experience all their firsts’. From nursing them for the first time to meeting their siblings, all those firsts experiences were ahead of us.
Our “Firsts” Mommy Celebration with Pampers
Recently, Pampers contacted us to to host an in-home party for ten of our mommies and mommies-to-be friends and family. Pampers sent us decorations, paper goods, ten goodie-bags (pictured above) and one gift set for one mommy-to-be. Goodie-bags for each attending mommy contained one pack of Pampers Swaddlers and baby wipes, how cool is that? If you are a frequent reader of this blog, you might remember that not long ago we celebrated the impending birth of my youngest nephew, so I knew that my first guest will be my sister. Of course my mom will have to be there, since she birth both my sister and I. 🙂 I also invited my other mommy friends, my mother in law and my sister in law. Unfortunately, as sometimes life gets in the way and five of our friends & family couldn’t make it to our Firsts Mommy Celebration party. Although, life happens our party had to go on…
What is a party without amazing decorations, yummy food and a great ambiance? I decorated the house with a green and yellow pattern. Our plates, balloons, utensils, cups, lanterns and even our cupcakes carried the pattern throughout. Our guest started arriving and as usual the conversation turned into “Firsts” with our kids. Reminiscing when the kids were babies was a great bonding experience.
The attending mommies and I, sat together and we watched the Pampers Firsts video “A Newborn Journey Of Firsts”. Every first between a Mom and her baby is special. The Pampers “Firsts” video showcases precious, heart-felt moments between babies and parents together. You can see it below.
Pampers Firsts Video
Pampers now gives you the opportunity to create and share your baby’s journey of firsts at pampersfirsts.com. Pampers has developed a micro-site that will allow you to upload images of your baby from your computer or pick from your Facebook gallery and create a :15 second video to share out with friends on Twitter or Facebook. The video will highlight the baby photos and all their first milestone moments. Beginning February 16th, create and share your own journey of Firsts at pampersfirsts.com.

As I mentioned above, some of our mommies weren’t able to come to our party and one of them is our friend Angie. Since she couldn’t make it to our “Firsts” mommy celebration our friend Amanda (pictured above) will be the one to present her with our Mommy-to-be gift set which contains Swaddlers diapers, baby wipes, diaper bag and a set of swaddling blankets. At the time this post went live, Angie is still contracting and making progress, we are praying her bouncy baby boy makes his appearance before the end of the weekend.
