Glamming it up...Prego Style

So my first of two baby showers is coming up next week! I am so excited, but no so well stocked in the maternity wardrobe department. Although I have loved the timing of my pregnancy I found myself having tons of winter maternity clothes. Now the weather is warming up and I am scrambling to find things to wear. So when shopping for my shower dresses I was hoping for pieces I could recycle.

The first dress I found was this on the Pickles and Ice Cream website. I love the seersucker fabric and the sash in the front!

Next up I took a trip to Target and found these two adorable dresses.



I think any of these will be great dress up or dress down additions to my wardrobe. I'm just hoping add a few good pieces will last me til the end of May when little man arrives!

Now I just have to decide which for my showers and how to accessorize...oh the options!

Because We Can and We Should!

So moving, I am deeply affected and felt the need to share. Take a few minutes to watch, it will change how you look at the world and how you can make a change in it!

Registry...Activity and Play!

Next on the registry was the fun stuff, the stuff to keep baby calm and happy. The things to help him be engaged and learn as he grows.

First off the hand me downs. My family has been so generous so I am already the happy owner of tons of useful baby gear!

My Little Snug A Bunny Swing


Hoping baby will love this swing, all my cousins kids have spend tons of their early months in them. So I bet Patrick will get lots of use out it!

Bouncer
Fisher Price Rainforest


I love the design and the music and water features are too cute!

Booster Seat
Summer Infant Super Seat Booster/Infant Positioner


We went back and forth between this and the Bumbo seat, but after research we decided to go with the Summer Infant. It seemed to be a multi purpose purchase along with the excellent safety features.

Walker
Combi All-in-one Activity Walker - Blue GT


This was my husband's pick and I have to admit its pretty adorable. I'm sure he'll be doing laps around the condo before we know it!


Boppy Infant Feeding and Support Pillow - Sports


A must have for breast feeding and will be great later on for tummy time and floor play

Activity Gym
Fisher-Price Rainforest Melodies & Lights Deluxe Gym


A few little extras

Fisher-Price 2-in-1 Musical Mirror


so cute!

Sassy Go Go Guitars


My husband is a musician and these guitars will be perfect for the car seat.

My Taggies - Baseball



A little baseball love.

Sophie the Giraffe


A must have item from all the parents I have spoken to.

So little man is all ready to relax, play and learn!
