Anyone who has had a baby knows how hard it is to keep track of how it has been since you fed the baby, changed the baby, put the baby to sleep, etc... Tack on that you are completely hormonal, sleep deprived, recovering from childbirth and you are lucky if you can remember what your name is. All day long you will hear yourself asking,"How long has it been since..."
Enter the
Itzbeen Baby Care Timer. This little device could literally save your sanity. Itzbeen is a "multi-purpose tool that helps you remember the basic details of baby care.
ITZBEEN has four timers that count up with the touch of a button…so you will always know how long it's been!"
Now, you know I do not have a newborn anymore but it doesn't mean that I can't use the
Itzbeen. We use it everyday, especially to keep track of how long each of the kids have been asleep or awake and how long itzbeen since someone has had medicine. How many times have you left to go to the store, and your husband has had to call you to find out how long it has been since the baby had a bottle or something? Get one of these and those days are no longer.
The buttons keep track of changing, feeding, sleep or awake time, and an extra button that can be used for anything else you'd like to keep track of like medication. You can set alarms to remind you that something needs to be done and there is even a dial that you can use to remember what side you nursed on last.
I am so used to devices that are complicated and therefore this took me a long time to get the hang of. It is almost too simple. I also wish that it was a little bit bigger. My sons love to play with anything with buttons and that belongs to me so it often gets "lost" among the toys. Luckily it has a great lock so that even when it gets "stolen" the little boogers can't mess with the timers. But really, are these faults with the device or faults with the user? I think I am going to have to point at myself on this one.

I am pooped. Every year that I throw a kids party, afterward I think, "Why?" Seriously, Jake has no clue that we threw him a party. It cost us an arm and a leg, weeks of planning, 6 hours of constant motion and tantrums, 2 crabby kids to clean up and a teenager who insists on driving me to drink. We don't need any more "things," so it isn't for the presents. I recall my husband saying we should do this & I wish I had had the sense to say no.
My husband, God bless him, has no idea all the planning that this entails. He helped decorate and I about lost my mind as he strolled around and would not move at the speed of light I wanted him to. He helped clean up and then went to a bachelor party. I was too tired to even feel jealous or resentful. I just took my two over-tired & crabby children on the 2 hour drive home and somehow managed to get them cleaned up and in bed.
So now I am feeling sad. My babies are growing so fast. Nathan will be 18 soon and seems to be pretty head-over-heals for a girl who has pink hair (ok, not all pink and I will admit she is cute). Jake just turned 2 years old this week and I swear just yesterday we brought him home from the hospital. Luke just got 4 more teeth and I realized that my days of toothless grins are over. Welcome to my pity party.
