BOY or GIRL! Well as some of you may already know we got the disappointing news on February 18th 2011 that unfortunately, we were still not sure what kind of baby we are going to be having. The day started out with lots of excitement and expectations of ultrasounds revealing the biggest top secret we would ever be a part of. We had a great breakfast, made sure we both were camera ready and we didn't even have to wait for too long at Dr. Walkers (I am usually there for 2 hours for my appts, waiting for most of it, but he is still the best Dr around). Then we got to the good part and there he... she... IT was! This could not be happening to us... baby being shy? So we have a modest sleepy baby, covering its privates with its feet that wasn't quite ready for its debut on the doppler screen. Well it was still an exciting ultrasound we got to see the heart and all 4 chambers, its arms legs and all 10 fingers and toes (at least I think they were all there), the size of its head, femur and spine! We at least got one thing clear, IT is human! Contrary to some of my dreams there is no mistaking it for an alien, I was pretty relieved by this! The Dr. did make some comments like 'There is suspicion of a penis... but it could be a toe." He couldn't find the "boy parts" again so he said it is still up in the air as to what the sex is. So Rick and I were both really excited and maybe slightly bummed about not finding out if he is a she or she is a he but we kept on with the game plan of BABY SHOPPING! Something Rick dreads every time I bring it up. We managed to make it to Gilroy outlets and still found some deals on some boy stuff. I didn't dare buy any girl stuff but figured that some of the items I can use for either and if it ends up being a girl then I can give the boy outfits to others that are having boys in the near future. So here we go!
A few little plaid outfits
and then some comfy outfits
and my favorite little Nike shoes! Seriously how was suppose to pass them up? They are adorable right?
Then the next day I made it over to Old Navy and found the cutest little plaid shoes and hat and then the stinkin cutest little pirate flip flops ever!
I hope its a boy because I am getting lots of boy stuff but if it is a girl... we are in trouble because there is soooo much cute girl stuff out there. We are getting way too excited and decide to go do some more shopping, we had decided we wanted to get a rocking recliner instead of a glider so that it would be comfortable to use for a long time. We looked and looked and looked and found a bunch that we loved but hated the price, it was depressing! I really thought we would find a good recliner for $300 or less but nope, not out here. We happened to walk to another furniture store and low and behold they had the cutest Rocking chair I have ever seen and Rick loved it too!
Rick was really excited about having a nice chair that we both really liked a lot. So we got it! Rick was so excited about it that he decided he was going to make the cushions for it... all by himself! It is really cute how much he is getting into it and wants to make me happy! So we went to the fabric store and he got all the fabric and cushions to cover and said I am not allowed to touch it, it is his project.
Don't worry as soon as it is done I will update you in no time! So there we have it, all our fun baby stuff and still have yet to find out what kind of baby we are having!
Oh and one more thing, this diaper bag is something I am coveting very badly! I never thought I would want to pay $120 for poop bag but I can't seem to be interested in any other bag... I am going to have to pinch my pennies because I think this is the one thing I can't get over!
