Our Little Snowman


This picture was taken on February 24 when I was just a little over 18 weeks pregnant. Willie wasn't with me at the appointment so I bought 2 cute onesies (one for a boy and one for a girl) and a gift box. I looked away when the doctor went to look at the gender just in case I might see something...then when I left the room I had the doctor put the correct onesie in the box and zip up the wrong one in my bag. I took it all home, wrapped the box in a bag, then the bag in a bigger bag with tons of tissue paper, and I miraculously didn't peek for over 8 hours!!! We invited some family and friends over and had dessert, then the "big reveal." Willie handed the box to our friend's 2 year old daughter, Eva, and she grabbed the wad of tissue paper and flung it in the air...we all looked up and saw a little blue onesie fall out!! It was so cute...the perfect way to reveal it!

Baby Bedding


Here's the bedding I accidentally ordered! I was thinking of doing a safari theme but I couldn't find anything with cute enough animals. I was browsing through Target online last week and found this on clearance...I thought about it all day and to make it easier to go back and look at it each time, I put it in my shopping cart until I decided. I added the blanket, bumper, crib sheet, pillow, stuffed animals, and wall decals but I was still going back and forth about buying it. I decided to call my mom and see if she might want it for the crib at their house if I didn't end up using it for our nursery...so I slid my rolling chair over, called my mom who had already left work, then slid back to my computer to find a message saying, "Thank you for your order!" Oops!! I didn't even bump anything!! I had ordered online before and it had all my info saved so it was as easy as that! I decided that maybe it was just meant to be and if not, I could return it to the store and only be out the shipping. Well it came in the mail yesterday and I love it! Now I have to decide on paint colors...I'm not sure about blue walls though...I'm thinking more neutral. Love the bedding though!
