Baby News

I signed up for Citrus Lane after hearing about it through another blog, and the first package came this week! I hope we're happy with the decision to sign up for this...the March box definitely delivered, so I'm already excited for April!

contents include: 2-in-1 baby body wash & shampoo, baby moisturizer, a little lamb blanket, organic socks and a box of animal cards. (and a $20 coupon to Just Fab for me!)

 The little lamb blanket is adorable, and I'm so glad they put the "art cards" in the box! I haven't bought any games or activities (let's be honest, I wouldn't know where to start!), so I was really excited to see this cute little activity.

I ordered these precious personalized thank you notes for all of the shower gifts, and I'm really happy with how they turned out.

And now that I have some free time on my hands, I made these little return address stickers to match!

I ordered some nursery furniture this week, and I found a few odds and ends pieces that will pull the room together. I can't wait for things to start arriving! I'm heading out in a few minutes for my glucose test, ick. I dread getting bloodwork done :(

Bedding

I am so excited about our baby bedding! Between myself and Molly, we have picked out some great fabrics, and she is going to work her magic to make it all come together!

So this looks is my inspiration...go big or go BOW, right? no???

So I'm not going too crazy - there will only be two bows since the bed will be against a wall :) And I really am not doing anything else super frilly, so I think the bows will be ok with some other subtle fabrics.

 I know the lighting doesn't do this fabric justice, but the pink matches the pink in the bows, and it's silk as well. Molly is going to use this eyelet fabric along with the silk stripe to complete the skirt and I think maybe the bumper?? I really don't know what all the finished product will include because I don't have a vision for this sort of thing. But I have complete faith that it will come out beautiful and Virginia Blair will be so proud of her bedding :)

Molly is also making some beautiful gowns for Miss VBB!

Seriously, how precious is that?!

On to tackle the never-ending to-do list! We ordered the rocker yesterday, and today I'm ordering the crib today. We went with the PB rocker because we got a great deal on it. So Robby had to settle on ivory fabric instead of the taupe color he prefered, but ivory went on sale :)

Nursery Stuff

I am trying to make decisions on nursery furniture. Really. I am. With everything going on in the last month though, I just haven't had time to finalize anything. There are a couple of options for everything, but I know we need to start ordering stuff!

Rockers...

This one converts to a real chair, and we both love the wings on the side (hello, head rest!).

(look, my name is even on the pillow!)

 

This one is nice too, but it doesn't convert.

Cribs...

This is the one I REALLY want :) I love the color and the style.

 This one is my "practical" option :) This crib has been around forever (I slept in this kind of crib, as did most of the babies from my generation), and it's been updated to current safety standards of course!

 

Anyway, I have to make decisions on these two things by next week. I want to check out the cribs at the Baby Restoration Hardware outlet in Houston next weekend before I pull the trigger on anything. And then I'll post about the bedding! So excited about that...



You Were Definitely Showered This Weekend!

We had your baby shower in Fort Worth this weekend!

Everyone filled out these sweet cards for you...

Molly is making the sweetest little gown for you! This is just a preview...

 All of your grandmothers were there to celebrate you!

And your great-aunts wouldn't have missed it :)

A little tribute to your nick name...and there's a banner with your real name over the fireplace. I saved them both and can't wait to find the perfect spot for them in your nursery.

And let's not forget to mention how AMAZING your aunt Katie's house is! You will have lots of play dates here with your future boyfriend, Andrew :)
