Product push: the Mamaroo! Anyone expecting needs to run out
and add it to your registry or go purchase one. It is the newest bouncer/swing
combination and besides looking tremendously cool and modern, the baby already
loves it! I registered for it but didn’t receive it as a gift so I was going to
let it slide – not after seeing Allie in it. She looks so calm and peaceful and
unlike the bassinette, she doesn’t scream when you put her in it! We tested out
the nature and the car sounds with her yesterday – both a hit!
Anyway – back to the baby – she’s precious. Just a perfect, little angel. On Wednesday, my mother and I
left before 10 a.m. to go buy everything pink that they sell at Babies R Us. (We
did a pretty decent job). After spending over one thousand dollars, we went
back to Michele’s prepared to turn the neutral/boy’ish nursery into a home fit
for a princess. In between, and again, after visiting hours, we girlified Allie’s new
room – it is beautiful! We purchased the Kidsline Fleur bedding set and all
matching accessories at Babies R Us. It is to die for. We also bought wall
letters to spell out her name and adorable floral wall decals. Together, the
two of us bought every outfit that was either pink, purple, or had some sort of
tutu attached to it. We then emptied out her nursery and started from scratch –
in just over three hours, it was transformed. We then hung every outfit and
legging and hair accessory all over the room – on the crib, the changing table,
the blinds – and locked the door. We didn’t allow Jay to see it so that he
could be surprised with Michele when she came home.
They loved it – I really think they did! She was shocked
when she saw how feminine the room looked after having three boys take their
turn in there! She didn’t get to look through every single outfit yet, but I am
sure she will. She loved what she saw and I think she knows that it is perfect
for Allie! Every time I went in there to change her diaper yesterday, the room
made me happy – it just screams little girl! (And, the more I keep thinking
“girl,” the higher my chances are to have one. Right?)
Speaking of my own, there have been some developments on the
“F front” which I will update you about tomorrow. In the meantime, I just have to go see Allie. Five minutes ago :) I already adore her and miss her! (Plus, I want to have a hand in the next
outfit she wears!)
Have I mentioned how blessed I am recently? Extremely.
75 days to go!!!
