Today was the first whole day that my mother has been home since Casey and I arrived in Boston (she has been bouncing around to various out-of-state work conferences). We decided to celebrate by heading off for a little shopping at Baby's R Us. Due to my recent rapid growth, Casey has become concerned that I am going to have the baby early and thought that we better get the rest of the essentials, mainly the crib, just in case. (I think he was looking for an excuse to get the crib set up in our bedroom so that we can spend long hours staring at it longingly, but either way we did need to purchase it at some point.)
But if there is one thing that is certain about shopping for baby things, it is that you never can just get what you came for. The first unplanned purchase was a "boppy," a nursing pillow, which I have heard is an item that is nearly impossible to live without. After picking out our boppy, we got our crib (made from 100% organic cotton) and then headed for the clothing department. We decided to get a few soft caps for the little one and a 3 piece oh-so-cute organic cotton set with 2 matching one-sies to go with it. My mother added four adorable one-sies, including one that says "I love my grandma"and two with the Boston Red Socks logo... this kid is definitely going to have good taste in sports teams!
After lugging home our new purchases, we were ready to set up the crib. Casey assembled the whole thing in 5 minutes flat with barely a glance at the directions. What an amazing husband he is!
Now the crib is sitting by our bed, looking empty and expectant.
We are sitting here too, staring longingly at it.
Only 5 more weeks!
Tomorrow we are heading off to Cape Cod to visit my best friend Colleen and meet her super-cute 2 and 1/2 month old baby, Rowan. We are really excited. Hopefully, we will not forget the camera in the morning rush.
Wishing that you are doing as awesome as we are!
XOXOXO

Love the crib! I have also heard from women with babies that they can't live with out the boppy or nursing pilow...some even cary it aroud the house while the little one is attached and feeding...oh which brings me to another thing I have hear...get those nipples ready, seriously walk around with sandpaper in your bra...I have now seen what blisters on niples look like and it's scary, seriously scary. But ya know breast feeding is the best for the little one...Lindsay are you and Casey registered any where for baby items? Or what would you like us to do? I don't want to send tons of things and make it difficult to travil back to the west coast. So fill me in on yours and Casey's wishes. Love you guys lots!!! XOXOXOXOXOXO
