In Preparation……

 

Can you ever really be fully prepared for a Baby?!  I don’t know!  But what I do know is that I’m a Big Procrastinator!!  I have been scurrying around trying to prepare for this baby this past month & just when I think I’m close to having what I need, I realize I have added yet another thing to the list of……

Needs!

Or Perhaps,

they are wants!

What I do know is this, its certainly fun to receive goodies from friends and family!!!

Sean has the sweetest friend that lives in TX.  They met while he was stationed in Alaska, her husband too was stationed there & she is the kind of gal you wished lived next door.  Any how, Elissa sent us a Super Adorable High Chair!  It’s still in the box, but I promise to have it assembled before she starts gnawing on bones.  Sean went out and purchased that infant car seat all on his own & it’s even Pink if you can believe it!

This box in No Way does this Nifty Stroller justice!!  Have you heard of the Bob Revolution Running Stroller????  If you’re a runner & have a kiddo, it’s a must, regardless of the price & I gifted it to MYSELF!!  Actually, my Mom sent me some Christmas Cash & I used it towards this Magnificent fine piece of Machinery!

Here is little Ms. Elizabeth’s Crib & bedding.  I ordered the set of furniture from Costco, up close it’s an “Antique” White finish & Lady Bug Bedding.

Sean was afraid of the Color Pink, so we compromised on a Green that was in the bedding. 

And, if you look closely on this dresser, it was delivered damaged underneath the 1st set of drawers.  I called Costco and they said it would take another 6 weeks to get a new set.  Well, that didn’t work so instead they credited me back a few dollars.  I’m HOPING that my husband will repair it soon, it Annoys me.  Along with everything else on the face of the earth.  Once again, I’m a rather Crabby Pregnant Person!

Our friend Lauren, another wonderful Lady from TX sent us that Glow Worm, along with a Miracle Blanket, & other needed accouterments!!  Lauren really was once my neighbor, & I miss her Terribly!!!

Look at this, 11 pairs of shoes already and the Chick is not even born!!  Thank you Dear Loraine, I can’t imagine that you have already given her a shoe Fetish!!!  Come to think of it, Loraine is from TX TOO!!  That just dawned on me!!  I work with Loraine’s hubby.  I even talked them into moving near me at one time, but they moved quickly after that   Loraine, has gifted our baby so many wonderful goodies!!!!

Her closet is filled with SO many cute outfits from SO many family & friends!!!  Thank you to all of you!!

I showed Sean & Jonathan yesterday, what is what, and what goes where.  Let’s just say neither new the difference between a pair of socks & hand mittens^!

Literally, every drawer is packed to the rim.  The girl is set til 1!!!

My sweet, kind, and generous Family in CA had a shower for me at the most fabulous restaurant in the world!!  If you would like to see me there having a great time, you can view over at….. http://cakesbykristin.blogspot.com/2010/12/kkkkatie.html

Thank you to all of you, we loved all the adorable outfits, towels, teethers, & gift cards!!!  Not too mention, Thank you for sending my head back too

So, are we ready for Elizabeth Joan, better known as Ellie JO???  Who knows, but we certainly can’t wait!!!

AND……….

One thing I know for sure!!!  This Guy does not like to be woken up at 5:30 am to his Mom snapping photos!!!  Jonathan is going to be the best Big Brother & I was just trying to prepare him for the screaming that may occur at odd hours!!

Okay, so the moral of the story is????

Find Friends in TX

Thank you to EVERYONE who has been so generous to Us!!
