That doesn't stop me from still buying things I can't resist when i find them now though! Actually, I have something sized 6 that I couldn't resist buying when Claire was only 2 months old, and only paid 2 bucks for at a thrift store, but I tried it on Josh when he was 3 (much to his dismay), and I'm convinced it can be worn by a 2 or 3 year old as a long dress, and as a shorter one for an older child. YAY girl clothes are so much fun!! I love the tutu... you know me, I'm a succor for them. I also think that gray dress is really sweet!! I'm all about the details too... God is in the details! I feel like I've seen that brown skirt before with the little tulle trim detail... why didn't I buy it? haha Probably saw it on another kid. I'm so glad you're getting the bedding! Yay it's so beautiful! We can try to make some artwork for the room when you're here :) It's so pretty. Good luck with the stroller purchase decision! Babies get pricey... you really should check out joggingstroller.com too. They have lots of cool ones, and free shipping.

Everything else you just buy as you go along and figure out what you will actually use. As for the stroller, I would go with the Baby Jogger. I am not a jogger person and I was actually debating buying that particular one because it is nice and compact but all-terrain. The Bob just seems too rugged for an everyday stroller? Good Luck and just ask if you have any other questions!!<br /><br />ps. You don't have to give your baby a bottle at two weeks if you don't want to. She will take a bottle eventually, trust me.

I realized I have made it through my girls without a lot of the stuff they say you need, but I am kind of cheap and a minimalist. There are tons of stuff people say you need, but it ends up sitting in your house never getting used (well, at least for me it does). Make sure you have nail clippers, a snot sucker, pacifiers (if your baby will take one... mine didn't), gas drops, and some sleep :)Strawberry Shortcakehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03775298042825735801noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2613486379907269268.post-45817564539678712912009-06-11T08:59:04.351-06:002009-06-11T08:59:04.351-06:00How fun!

If I would have seen that when I was looking for Kaeden's bedding, I would have gotten it hands down. Instead I just made my own which is fairly similar to what you've got there. BEAUTIFUL stuff!<br /><br />The clothes are so adorable. Don't go overboard though because it will depress you how quickly they will grow out of an outfit. :) I still try to squeeze Kade into some 3-6 month stuff. Partly because it's such cute clothing, and partly because I wish he still were that size. :(<br /><br />As for the stroller thing...I'm not much help. I got one of the Graco sets. It's been good, but if I could do it all over again, I would have done what you are doing.<br /><br />Hope you are enjoying all this!Ashley Outnumberedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02978176414197969320noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2613486379907269268.post-24622030788913979902009-06-10T16:10:06.361-06:002009-06-10T16:10:06.361-06:00I'm sure either stroller will be great, but I ...I'm sure either stroller will be great, but I have a baby jogger q series, so it has the bigger wheels you are looking for, but still the EASY fold up, which is as fabulous as it sounds.

And I just told Jaren yesterday that every trip to Sams I take from now on will involve a diaper purchase to help build the stores. He's all for it. Buy some boy clothes!! :)<br /><br />Lena - oh man, it's all I can think about.<br /><br />Wendy - just the bedding set, not the furniture. Although, I do like the furniture. If I can swing it, I might get the mobile and possibly one other thing. The entire room would be way too much money! yikes. And I bought the dress at Babies R Us. It's bound to still be there. So stinkin cute. Your new niece would love it!<br /><br />Capri - thanks! I'm looking at a swing who's seat detaches and is a bouncer. Just trying to find out if it will be good enough. That's why most of the stuff I'm buying is a year or more. Baby showers shower you with 0-6 months clothes. <br /><br />Andrea - thanks for the advice :) And yay for jogging strollers! If I need a smaller one, I'll just go buy a 25 dollar little one that will be easy to haul around and if I lose it, I don't think I'd be too heart broken. <br /><br />Jamie - your so funny! Yeah, I've explained to Jaren many, MANY times that girls need to talk. And mostly I'm fine with him just listening, but sometimes he needs to talk WITH me. That was one of those moments. :) Let Ben know when you need him to help distract you.<br /><br />Michaela! I'm so excited someone else has seen the Baby Jogger stroller and thinks it's amazing, too! The price difference isn't too outrageous and I love it. The BOB is more popular so I'm getting more responses about that. But I'm glad I'm not the only one who is lusting. :)Whitney Rhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03076894476570457181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2613486379907269268.post-72145149473089058352009-06-10T07:41:06.621-06:002009-06-10T07:41:06.621-06:00Well, I can tell what color choices you want for t...Well, I can tell what color choices you want for the beaded socks!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2613486379907269268.post-63422697331459754692009-06-10T06:53:48.728-06:002009-06-10T06:53:48.728-06:00What cute clothes!

I am having such a hard time putting off buying stuff for my little guy, but I guess living on the Jersey Shore for the summer is kind of helping me - kind of. There is a baby store just right underneath our apartments here, that has all the nice strollers. I love love the baby jogger city elite one! It has so many extras that you have to purchase separate with the BOB. And I love all the magnetic flaps! The BOB is nice though. Tons of moms have them out here who go jogging on the boardwalk. It's a great stroller if your a jogger! You can push it with one finger! lol. I'm not a runner at all, so I think we're going to end up going with the city mini for a single stroller, then get a little better for the double, since I'll use that more than the single.Michaelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02989582907177810853noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2613486379907269268.post-81360285599717106732009-06-10T06:53:47.723-06:002009-06-10T06:53:47.723-06:00What cute clothes!

You will ...I would wait to buy more clothes later. You will get mostly clothes at your showers. So save your money for the big things. As for the BOB stroller, my friend has a double BOB (I think she also has a single one too) but she loves it. And I've puched it also and it's is nice. I would go for that. I am going to get a double one when I have another kid. The only bad thing about the double bob's (which you won't have to worry about until later) is the face that you can't really go shopping with them. Anyways. I loved the swing. Wyatt lived in that for a few months.

Cambree lived in her bouncer, and it vibrated!!! It was so nice because I could put her in and put her in the bathroom with me while I showered, pretty much you can move it to wherever you want. plus she was a SUPER SUPER CRANKY baby so I even took that thing to enrichment and picnics in the park, it was a life save for me!! <br /><br />Also start her on a bottle like when she is 2 weeks, or she won't ever take one and you will be attached to her every two hours, or an hour if she is anything like cambree. don't let the rexburg hospital tell you they will get nipple confusion, just don't listen to it, ha!!!<br /><br />all of your stuff is super fun!! It is really funny to read this post because I was totally the same way, but bought stuff before we actually saw it was a girl...because we pretty much already knew Cambree was a girl. now i am having baby #2 and we know it is a boy and I have not bought ONE boy outfit....EEEKS! i haven't even bought anything....he might be dressed in pink!!!<br /><br />oh one more thing that saved us too was buy a box a diapers everytime you go to walmart or whatever store you buy them at. it was so nice when Cambree was born and we had like 4 months of diapers already. I never bought newborn ones, we just bought a few ones and then more two's then ones and so on. plus if you don't open them you can take them back. because you don't realize how much you will be buying diapers until you have to!!Tiffany Fackrellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13966252493719919418noreply@blogger.com
