I had the best time with my mom, Ashley, and Charlotte. Get ready for picture overload! Chris got me a new camera on Thursday, so I was anxious to try it out during the weekend. As soon as they got here, I showed them the pictures of our baby. They were so excited to find out our baby is a BOY! We were ready to go shopping!
Me, Ash, Charlotte
On Friday, we went to a boutique type store but the boy section was so sad. It was tiny. I know that's how it's going to be, but this section was especially small! I did get a sweet picture frame for one of his sonogram pictures. I have it on my nightstand so I can see him when I go to bed and when I wake up :) I love how he's looking right at me! Ashley also got me a Woombie from this store. I think it's so neat because it's like a little sack that you just zip the baby up in and it keeps the baby swaddled....it's swaddling, but easier!
We then decided to go to Janie and Jack to look at clothes. We also went to Gymboree. We found some really cute things! This is our loot from the first day of shopping.
We got this little outfit from Janie and Jack. It's so soft and so warm! Perfect for a January baby!
My mom got this at Gymboree for Chris. I love the little hat and matching socks!
This cute outfit came from Janie and Jack. He's going to be one stylish baby!
Ashley got this outfit for him from Gymboree. The little shirt has a football on it and the jeans have footballs along the bottom edge! The little shoes also have footballs on them! Chris is going to love seeing his baby boy in this outfit!
That night we came home and ordered Mexican and just relaxed. Saturday we had our plan. We wanted to go to the Container Store, to Babies R Us and to Pottery Barn Kids. We also wanted to try to fit in a pedicure!
Me and Baby Charlotte. It was kind of fun just having Charlotte with us because she is so easy. She just enjoyed being with us and was so happy the whole weekend. She has the most laid back personality.
I had fun fixing her hair. I would get it wet and then spray a little hairspray on it to keep the curl. She just let me do whatever I wanted to her hair :)
Me and Ash...and baby :)
Me, mom and Charlotte.
We went to the Container Store first to look around. My mom showed me these really neat baskets that are like shelves. It's kind of hard to explain, but I loved them! I want to get a set to put in the nursery closet to have even more places to store his things. After that we went to Cheesecake Factory for lunch. YUM!
Charlotte enjoyed her lunch :)
We kept playing with my camera, trying to get the PERFECT shot :) I'm sure everyone in the restaurant thought we were silly for taking so many pictures of each other but it was fun!
After lunch, we went to Babies R Us to look at gliders. My mom wanted to get my glider because she knows that is the one thing I can't wait to do...rock my sweet baby boy. I remember my mom rocking us....even when our legs were hanging off the side of the rocker and we both barely fit on her lap. I can't wait to do the same with my baby. We found the perfect glider! I love that it's smaller and won't take up a lot of room in the nursery. It was so comfy and just perfect for me. We ordered it in the camel color (light tan) and it has dark brown piping along the edges. I love that the ottoman glides, too. I can't wait to get it!
This is a picture of it, but this isn't the color I ordered.
My mom also got these two outfits for baby. Aren't they soo cute? And they are so tiny, too!
We thought we wanted to go to Pottery Barn Kids to look at their gliders, but after I found the glider at Babies R Us, I knew it was the one I wanted. So we went and got pedicures instead! We were hoping Charlotte would just sit on mom's lap and be a good little girl.....she was!
Ashley and I got flowers painted on our toes. My foot is the fat one on the left :)
I got Charlotte and Nathan matching Halloween pajamas at Gymboree. She looked so cute in hers! Nathan's are the same except they are black with a tie...hers has a necklace. So cute!
Charlotte loves her baby dolls! She has two that she carries around contstantly...loving on them, wrapping them up, feedding them! This is a baby doll I have that I used for a White Trash party we had a while ago. I was dressed in cut offs, hair in a ponytail with a scruchy, holding a Big Gulp cup and this baby on my hip. It was a fun party! Anyway, I thought Charlotte would like this baby. She did! This is when she first woke up...she wanted her baby:)
My sweet Fatty. He is the calmest dog in the world. Daisy not so much.....but we're working on her:)
And this is the quilt my mom made me and baby boy. It's sooo cute because it has different animals all over it. I can just see him laying on this looking at all of the different colors and animals. This picture does not do the quilt justice. It is soooo cute!!
My mom also knitted this sweet little baby blanket. It is soooo soft. I can't wait to have my baby boy all wrapped up in it. It's going to be so fun to snuggle with him!
Thank you mom and Ashley for such a fun weekend! I love everything we got and can't wait to see my baby boy in all of those cute clothes! 20 week update coming later this week!!!
