Coming Home Outfits

We don't know if the baby is a boy or a girl, so I have an outfit ready for each gender for coming home from the hospital in. I'm not huge on the "Coming Home Outfit" frenzy that seems to be out there. I've heard stories of women spending $100+ on the outfits that their kids come home in. I cannot fathom this. I, however, am such a bargain shopper that I'm excited to say that neither outfit I purchased was over $5.00. So, here's what I picked out for little baby Brothers to make his/her first adventure home in:

If she is a she:


If he is a he:


(It is merely coincidence that they are both plaid). The orange hat and socks were hand knit by my sister, Jen and are so absolutely adorable that they will be part of the fun. I am currently 33 weeks pregnant so only 7 weeks left until my due date. I'm starting to get really excited to meet this baby and see who we've got! Feeling a little bit more confident about our name choices (which will remain a secret until he/she is here) and trying to not get too impatient.

Oh, and the baby's room is ALMOST ready to be photographed. Waiting on two more details and then I'll be posting pictures here. I can't wait to show you! XO, Meg

Photos of the Baby's Room

Image
I've finally taken photos of the baby's room to share with you. And while I sometimes feel like this room will never be "done" (whatever that even means), I decided that it's time to just show it as it is - a work in progress for a little one soon to arrive. (click on the photos to see them larger if you like) I made the flag banner by hand, as well as the painted artwork hanging on the wall. On the shelf is a green piggy bank from grandma, a piece of art that I made, and some vintage blocks. I had the photo frames already thrifted and repainted. I made these fabric hangings just by stretching vintage inspired fabrics that I love over embroidery hoops. Just to add some color to the side of the room with the closet. This is probably my favorite part of the room. There is no overhead lighting in our house so I put together a group of Chinese lanterns and we hung them from the ceiling. The large white one actually lights and is connected to the light switch on a dim

6 Months Pregnant

Image
I am 6 months pregnant this week and it hardly seems real. It's hard for me to believe how fast this pregnancy is going. I'm so grateful to still be feeling well. This belly is definitely sticking out and the baby loves to kick and squirm at both 11pm and 5am. I had an older man at Home Depot trying to guess my due date this weekend which was both cute and funny. He's certainly hoping for a June 4th baby which is his birthday. We'll be lucky to see this baby before July 4th, really! Anyway, I'm not a huge fan of posting pregnant photos on here of myself, but I know there are a few of you who are out of state and wondering. We go back to the doctor on Friday and will have a chance to see this little one's face. If there's a great photo to share, I'll let you know. XO, Meg

Round 1 is on the way!

Image
I ordered round 1 of my cloth diaper stash this weekend because they were on a crazy good deal and had gender neutral colors (which are hard to come by)! I'll be ordering from two different sites to have a little variety but I'm excited to have some on the way. Yes, I realize how ridiculous this sounds, but after doing as much research on them as I have, I'm just happy to have some finally on the way. 12 diapers for $60 including tax and shipping = yes please!! In case you don't know, that's a crazy good deal for cloth diapers. The average person spends about $15/cloth diaper. Woohoo for good deals! XO, Meg
