It really is a personal choice. My mom pierced my ears herself when I was a baby (I so could not do that!), I got a 2nd piercing when I was 15. I'm really not big on jewelry but I love little stud earrings in my ears. I wanted to do her's as a baby because I figured it would hurt less. She actually did very well! She was sleepy when we went, awake while the piercing was done (they did both at the same time) but she fell asleep like 2 seconds later. Didn't phase her one bit! Tough little girl
I won't do a second one, I'll let her decide if she wants a second piercing or if she decides she doesn't want earrings at all she can take them out.
The place we went to was awesome though. I found a pair that I liked for her but the manager told me she recommended we do gold earrings since she's so young, theres less chances of infection. She then asked me what my budget was. I told her I really didn't want to spend more than $35. She let me pick out a pair that were $42 and gave me a discount. We got the earrings, cleaning solution, and an earring holder that looks like a flower and a 1 year warranty if one of the earrings falls out, all for $35 and a little change. Pretty good deal!
We're pretty much set for christmas. I need to order one more thing for christmas, for my nephew and my mom, grandma and I are all going in on a new phone for my grandpa since his recently broke.
We just got our tree yesterday, LOVE the smell of christmas trees
Got all the presents too we got each of the kids 4 things from us (2 will be from santa though) and 1 thing "from eachother" I figured it would be a good thing to do and when they get older they can pick out the gift to give eachother.
Emery is getting an exersaucer, a stuffed turtle, a blanket with her name on it (she got it early though) and this cute little toy I found at walmart, then her stocking stuff that has teethers and little small toys and of course her christmas ball with her name on it and shes getting a disney fairies bath set from her brother, its got soap, shampoo and 2 bath scrubbies, one has tinkerbell on it and the other periwinkle. (I'll probably save it until she's a few months older though) My hubbys grandma also sends the kids each $20, so I bought her some boots and a pair of pjs.
My son is getting a toy vaccum, a mr potato head, mega blocks (big legos) and a crayola tub of fun which has all these different crayola items in it. Then he's also getting a bath set from Emery but his is cars themed. He'll get to pick something out with his $20. His stocking will have candy and stuff.
