So.. I am coming up on week 30 and can officially say that I am so ready for baby girl to get here. I bet Kris feels the same. Not just so he can hold his daughter, but so everytime I get off the couch or stand up he won't hear a big groan come out of me. Things are coming along and I am feeling more and more prepared to become a mommy. Still have my moments of complete terror of having no clue what to expect, but I like to think it's normal:)
I have the best friends in the whole world who are helping me out on the nursery. Mrs. Brayli Holt and her momma are probably the most talented decorators I know and are working full steam on helpint to transform our dull white room into the perfect place to spend my nights rocking the lil one back and forth. Pictures will come once we get some of the stuff put together and hung up:)
Clothes, flowers, and baby gear: I like to think I have been super good at holding back from not buying everything "girl" I see. I have been told to wait until after the baby shower to see what I need. Well... the baby shower is the 25th and I am so excited to be able to go out after and not be told to wait and see what I need. Odds are the baby won't really care what she is dressed in to begin with, but due to the fact I have no younger siblings, no girl nieces or nephews, and she will be our first... I feel like I can splurge a little and spoil her. Here are a few things I am waiting to purchase:
(All of these items are compliments of http://www.etsy.com/shop/JamesonMonroe?page=1.) Adorable and not pricey. Will definately be placing a few orders.
and pretty much anything from this website. http://www.teacollection.com/baby-girl-dresses.
Needless to say baby girl will be dressed nicer than either of her parents. It's a lot easier spending money on the necessities right now so I am hoping for a few things at the baby shower;) I need to get crafty and learn quick how to make flowers because I have a feeling she will be needing alot:)
We have decided on the stroller/car seat ,
Crib,
Bassinet we are using a pack n play by gracco
Changing table we are using an old desk of mine and repainting it and adding a matress. Same thing for a rocker. Like I said above Michelle and brayli are super talented and so they have taken on the rocking chair as a project.
If anyone knows of any stores that have cute/affordable baby clothes feel free to let me know because I would love to venture somewhere new:)
