Baby Shower

Williams Updated Ultrasound Pictures

Well it took forever to get good pictures of William today! He was sleepy and STUBBORN! I love him to death cause I know he's just like us! He had his back to us and he was digging his head into my back... if you can imagine. We did everything to try and get him to move so like 50 minutes into the ultrasound we finally got a profile and he was busy sucking his hand too may I add.

Coming Home Outfit

I haven't decided on anything yet

I am keeping my eye on Gymboree.com layette's, I would like to find a classic carters layette but I went to the outlet and didn't see nothing that was classic. I am a Childrens Place addict www.childrensplace.com

Maybe I should do something Military related since Hubby and Oldest brother are in the military? I like the idea of Big Sister Little Brother but its hard to find my 6 year old Big Sister t-shirts since she is a 6/7... maybe I can get them something matching off of cafepress.com or etsy.com

I was thinking she would wear it when he was delivered? Big sis/ Baby Brother shirt

Children's place is great for coordinating the whole family maybe something from there.

We live in the Rocket city so Rick and I are playing around with the idea of Rockets :)

We were going to the NASA Museum but here is something on Etsy Link

I love layette's I am a sucker for a cozy blanket




More Big Sister/Little Brother Ideas
Pillow Case Dress.... I wonder if I can customize this?
Appliqued BIG SISTER chocolate brown tshirt
Baby Brother t-shirt or onesie

and this is my favorite outfit he owns so far



Any suggestions? Anyone want to share what your little one came home in? Ohhh and Links are a wonderful thing hehe

Showing off

I started to take pictures of things that I've gotten the baby but got bored lol I got too much

Gymbo blankets I got for $10 for all three

Towels, Matching wash clothes and bibs

First two pieces of my bedding I want. I am getting a little at a time. Camo and Airplanes what could be better?

His toys including the build a bear Skylar made him he also has some Peter Rabbits and a Froggy Webkinz too lol and I think a Winnie the Pooh set

I had to have the airplanes lol

I love the outfits with the matching blankets. That are a higher quality than Recieving blankets. See the camo hat and mittins too? Yes the onesies in the package have a plane on it too LOL

This is my gymbo package of the day I don't buy Gymbo unless I find it on ebay but they have their spring sale and I got this. Romper, Blanket, Bib and a t-shirt :)

Under the wire

I have 13 days till Easter
I have 14 days till my Birthday
I have 24 days till I have the Luncheon with General Myles.
I have a month to a month and a half till My Baby Shower (I Think) and the portraits are done...

I would love a dress that goes with all these events and any that might come up...
I want it to be church dress, I don't want anything that screams cotton, Spring colors if possible but not too bright and as close to business attire as I can because thats the dress code. UGH

Ok considering my own style and comfort level (none of these are long enough gah!), What fits into all the needed catergories
and the budget even weighs in a little bit
Here are my top three choices right now...
Twist-neck drop-waist dress
Sleeveless Ruffle Front Maternity Dress
short sleeve empire waist maternity dress


HELP ANY TIPS?

I have a new best friend LOL

So for all you scrapbookers I have an enabler alert for you. Have you seen the cheap quaility name brand stuff you can get from the likes of TJ Maxx, Marshall's and Ross? I mean its probably old news to you but its new to me and why didn't anyone share? LMAO. I got two premade scrapbooks for my daughter and her friend to just stick their pictures in for %6 each.... K and Company!!
So its not cheesy and its quality! WOOT

Now the reason why I posted this in the baby blog lol...
I loove these stores but so far my best luck came from Marshall's Why I have two Ross' Two TJ maxx' and Two Marshall's LOL...is beyond me but hey... More opportunity for these deals.

Calvin Klein Snow Suit retails $44 and I got it for $5

Another Calvin Klein Special lol Pullover, Shirt and Jeans retails $56 & i got it for $7


Polo jogging suit retails for $30 and I got it for $7

DKNY Baby Romper retails for $20 I got it for $5

and this is just Carters but I love these type of outfits that have a matching blanket. I got this in NB size cause I am almost positive little man is going to be tiny like his big sister... So I will have to go back and get the bigger size...
Tag says $24 and I got it for $9.99 and Blanket was $17 and I got it for $6.99

I also got a Calvin Klein Romper I didn't get it out of his storage thing but it was like $5 or $7 (now I want to matching onesies lmao and bibs...)


Oh and this little button down that will look cute with Cords or Jeans with a sweater I bought him on Ebay from Children's place... Don't cha think its cute?
Another Carters Brand for $3.00


Oh yes and Olenka gave me the tip that Ross has Maternity Clothes. I got me an adorable pair of black capri's I can dress up with two blouses I bought. So something cute comfy and Casual I can buy a fancy pair of flip flops and wear to church or everyday... Thanks for the tipppp How did I neglect not shopping there for so long?

Unbelievable that these are all brand new, Name brand clothes cheaper than Children's Place, Wal-Mart and Target.... ALSO cheaper than even most Consigment sales and thrift stores lol....

So yesterday morning we headed out to find a yard sale but God decided to send us rain... so I thought about this one Thrift store or Consignment store that Betty and I happened upon a few months ago... Rick and I went to find it. BINGO its OPEN and I found some little Peter Rabbit Outfits, A Ralph Lauren Romper, Cute baby hats, and Another Blanket set like the doggy one I spent the same amount of money on the used as I did on the new!

People that know me know I don't shop at Walmart I refuse to spend a dime there. I went an over an entire year without shopping there. I stopped wanting to do business with Walmart in Feburary 08 due to their business practices and how they have directly effected the economy and MY life. So yesterday when we went to see this awesome consignment sale they weren't open for another hour but we had driven 25-30 miles. I said Rick lets go to Walmart and just WALK around. I don't want to spend money just walk around the store. I was a little curious as to see if they had any Peter Rabbit clothes like they used to as well. So we walked around Walmart and then we were bored after about 30 minutes and we both still felt confident that our family doesn't go there for business. The prices aren't that much cheaper than Target (I found the same outfit at Target even LOL) Rick and I just kinda laughed off the fact we weren't even tempted by them. Customer Service was rude as usual too.

Our TV's are breaking one right after another in our house so I kept pitching proposals to Rick about getting him his promised Homecoming Present he has wanted. I did the research. I called several techy people. I got a tip that his TV was going on Sale at Target... We grabbed a rain check when they ran out still unsure we wanted to spend that much money at this point... Its a good thing I finally talked him into at least paying for half because we got it for even a cheaper price than the sale price. He played being daddy to his TV while Skylar and I went and had some fun and registered for the few things I spied at Target that Babies R Us or anywhere else didn't carry. Plus with us being Army and all our friends and family spaced out world wide I don't know where they feel comfortable shopping so I have registered at Target, Sears, Babies R Us, and Burlington... Just do a search for my name or contact me for the info...
