The COVERPLUG Paintable Outlet Cover Review

The COVERPLUG™ is really a great idea. I tried them and multiple outlets around my house. The plates fit over our older plates completely but we bought new bigger plates for the nursery and it doesn't completely fit over those. It's still fits in the outlet and blocks the outlet but it doesn't completely cover it. I think this will be a great way to make the outlets safer when Amelia starts moving around. It feels like it would be hard for a baby to remove it because it fits in there nice and snug. You can also paint them to make them match and blend in with the walls better. I have not painted mine yet, I'm trying to decide which outlet I'm going to use them on. We are thinking about getting more for the rest of the outlets in our house. This is a great item if you're looking for an alternative to the usual outlet safety covers that are sold in most stores. 

The COVERPLUG™ is a durable, molded, and paintable plastic panel that plugs right into a standard, grounded, double electrical socket to cover the entire outlet. This innovative outlet cover is held securely in place by posts on the back that align with the ground openings and require no tools for installation or removal. They are made in the USA and use a specially designed plastic that is easily paintable to match your wall color. 

The COVERPLUG™ is an excellent child proofing product.

The COVERPLUG™ serves two main functions:

1. Creates a physical and visual barrier between your family and electrical outlets.

2. Covers unsightly outlets and makes them virtually disappear!

For a safer home and seamless walls, the COVERPLUG™ is the only option!

Amelia's 2 Month Update

Amelia turned 2 months on January 8th. From One month to two months Amelia has changed so much. She smiles all the time now and even giggles. I just love her little personalty. This month was definitely bittersweet because I had to go back to work but luckily we have family that can watch her while me and Cody are at work so she does not have to go into daycare. Going back to work after six weeks was really hard but my sister was watching her and set me and Cody lots of pictures. She has two kids of her own and they are absolutely in love with Amelia. Jordyn, who is about to turn six, thinks of Amelia like a little sister. She wants to love on her and help take care of her. Jayce is 3, and he previously wanted a little brother now wants a little sister. Jayce is totally obsessed with her feet he says "they're so soft" and he loves to talk to her and baby talk, it's very cute seeing a three-year-old talk baby talk.

She had a great first Christmas. We actually took her to the mall to meet Santa when she was two weeks old but we went on a Monday, early, when there wouldn't be that many people. We had to get her picture with Santa for her first Christmas. Amelia had a great Christmas. And it's very true that Christmas is totally different when you have a little one, it makes it so much better.

Amelia and the puppies are getting along great, they love to climb up in the chair with her. As you can see from this picture of her and Penny. She is holding her head up really good now but she's not a fan of tummy time. She's drinking about 4 ounces every three hours. Size one diapers are fitting her pretty good right now at six weeks she went through a pretty good growth spurt and is starting to outgrow some of her newborn clothes. At her two month appointment she is weighing 10.36 pounds and she is 24 inches long. They said her weight is right on target and her height is off the charts. Can't wait to see what's in store next month...until then.

Amelia's 1 Month Update

Our baby girl turned one month on December 8. And Amelia is getting so big, when she was born she was 6 lbs. 15 oz. At her one-month appointment she is now 8 lbs. 3 oz. When we were leaving the hospital she was so tiny, it was hard to get her into the car seat. But we eventually got her situated with the help of the nurse. On the way home we were pretty worried that something was going to happen, but I guess that is the case with most first-time parents. But everything was okay and we made it home safely. We have three dogs and I was pretty sure they would all get along great with Amelia. I did think Penny are Chihuahua/Rat Terrier mix would be scared of her because she is scared of everything, but she loved her sister. 

Unfortunately Cody's job does not have paternity leave so after a week he had to go back to work. I get six weeks and it's going to be really hard going back to work after being with her for that long,  even harder because I will be going back the week of Christmas. 

As new parents you learn things. Like sometimes you have to wait when they go to the bathroom to change their diaper because they may not be finished. I remember one of those first days me and Cody were changing her diaper, as we were changing her she started going again, it was an explosion. All we could do was laugh. It's those memories that we will share with her one day when she is an adult and laugh about. 

Every day I see her growing and getting bigger. My little girl is so long and skinny. Right now she is still wearing newborn clothes, size 0 to 3 months is still too big for her. Newborn diapers are too tight, and size one are a little too big she is in that in-between stage. When we were in the hospital she was having trouble eating at first, during one night she only had 5 mL. This is why she was a little jaundice and we almost had to stay an extra day. But now she is up to four ounces and she gets really impatient when her bottle is not warming up fast enough. I love watching all the little things she got from us both. Like when she strecthes she makes alot of noise. She got all those grumps and groans from Cody. When she yawns she makes this little hissing sound after, and I'm like, thats me I do that. Oh and she makes the best faces. Another funny thing she does is smile and laugh at the racoon on her wall when we change her diaper. We love watching her grow bigger and bigger each day. Well I think that's all for now, see you at her 2 month update. 

A Tate Update

Hello everyone it has been quite sometime since we have wrote a post. Some of you may know why and some may not. At the beginning of this year we found out we were going to be parents. For those first couple months the morning sickness was pretty bad. But on November 8, we welcomed our beautiful baby girl, Amelia, into this world. She was 6 pounds 15 ounces and 19 inches long.

Throughout the pregnancy I had something called white coat syndrome where almost every time I went to the doctor my blood pressure was high but when I would check it at home it was always normal. Because of this they wanted to induce me at 39 weeks. We went in to the hospital on Thursday night at 6:30. I did not start to dilate until late Friday night. But when I started to dilate I went from a 1 to a 9 in a matter of three hours and was unable to get an epidural, I was able to get pain medicine to help with the contractions. And luckily because I could feel everything it only took about five pushes, maybe 15 minutes, for her to come out. Because the pain medicines were still in my system she wasn't breathing right away but when she did and I heard that cry it melted my heart. Me and Cody are totally head over heels in love with our baby girl.
