[homebirthing princess]

Ok so i thought it might be nice for us ladies to have a place to come and share pictures of the things we have brought for our little ones :) my dh doesnt really understand why i jump up and down with excitement everytime i buy something pink and i often think it would nice to share with you ladies what i have gotten for her, this is in no way ment to upset anyone.....ive started this thread so people can choose weather to look or not rather then post on my due date thread as i know many of the lovely ladies there are struggling with their GD :( hugs ladies!!!

Thats so awesome!!! You could always buy a really cute girl & boy take home outfit and post that or down the line baby shower gifts you get for baby. :) I was really hoping to stay strong... But I was busting from the seams to find out. :shemademe::wink:

[Rosie85]

Love that outfit! I wish boys clothes were cute and fun to buy and that I didn't already have enough to clothe 6 baby boys, lol.

[Wanting-a-girl]

That's what I did with all three of my boys bought something pin and something blue cause I was adimit about being team green and fell off the wagon every single time! Lol

[ynwa]

Lovely idea,few bits from yesterday:.)

Oh this is so cute, i never go in the girl parts of the store feel so guilty being there and like an outsider. I know i will never get to genuinely buy pink (unless for a present) but its so nice to coo over the clothes - please keep posting feels like a really guilty pleasure to spy on pink things x

Never say never Mrs p!! Xxxx

[mummypink]

I feel the same Mrs P. :bighug:

Such super cute pink stuff, I love the frilly knickers!!! :D

I need to sort through all my old boys stuff, I'd really like to get some brightly coloured stuff for my new little man as I am so bored of boys clothes!

[homebirthing princess]

Started getting things for her room....I'm in love with Cath kidston and all things vintage so in going to do her room pink and white polka dots with floral bunting, bedding ect, here are the curtains I've brought I will make some mini bunting floral tie backs to tie in the theme6802

I've also brought a laundry bin in pink polka dots to match!

What do u ladies have planned for your bubbas room? Xx

My hubby said to me even if this baby was a boy I could get rid of all the old boys stuff and buy brand new things specialy as this is our last baby!! Next always cheers me up when buying boys stuff as they really do have the most gorgeous boys clothes, its funny cos even though i can buy pink I still find myself looking at boys things and sayin aww this is so cute :) I love bright colours on my boys I've never been in to baby blue! I hope your ok my lovely I think of u alot xx

[Violet_]

Oh my goodness. How much would I LOVE to get on the girly wagon and cluck and buy girly things. Although, I've already had lots of friends tell me they will give all their little girls clothes to me when I have another baby if it's a girl. I think I would have a lot of excited friends gift me all I could need. I'd probably have to hold them back so I could buy a few things. Oh to dream!!!!

[mummypink]

I'm ok thanks HB, wish we had Next over here there is a website you can have things delivered out here but it is pretty expensive unfortunately. Next time I am in the UK I will have to go and do some shopping!!
My dh is very tight with money so no way he would agree to getting rid of the boys stuff and buying new. He has agreed we need some new stuff though as even ds1 had some second hand stuff that friends gave us so it is pretty past it now!! I do have some nice summery things that I bought for ds2 that he never wore as the weather wasn't particularly great that summer so they should come in useful this time.

I need to have a major sort out of all the billions of boxes of stuff I have lol!

I also need to get a new travel system too as wasps built a nest in our old one and destroyed it, can't make my mind up on that one at all but I need to stick to a budget of about £250 so can't go too crazy.

I have bought a hanging baby basket from my friend though which I am excited about! It is wicker and round and is a good size so baby can stay in it until about 6 months or until they are pulling themselves up. We're going to have a hook in our bedroom and a hook in the living room so the baby is well out of the way of our dog. I'll have to try and find a picture to post. :) xx

[Mrs_P]

With ds1 i dressed him head to toe in next clothes as i love them but over the years it seems that the prints are the same they just change the colours on the t-shirts - been really disappointed as of late, although i suppose most moms don't have this many boys to notice the repetition.

Anyone expecting a little boy check out mamas and papas and the baby k collection at mothercare - both have some really lovely new styles for the slightly older little person (although expensive) - i'd love so many of those things for ds3, unfortunately though he has more clothes than he has time to wear. My MIL and SIL always comment about him being in hand me downs, yet half of his tops were new for him GRRRRRRRRR i take great pride in dressing my boys, really winds me up (although yes he does wear their old pj's and jeans, trousers etc but half of the things are barely worn even with him being the 3rd as they were all born at different times of the year) - sorry rant over

Mum23, I wouldn't go off gut hon. Guts have known to be wrong around here.. and we still aren't seeing pink as far as you regular ladies in the due date threads go..

[Butterfly Spirit]

HBP, so you are throwing your own baby shower? Wow, that's a good idea! :)
I think I may have to do that.. even though DH isn't going to like it.. what does he expect us to do? Anything with pink would help!
What CUTE invitations, love em!

[homebirthing princess]

Aw I agree with butterfly hun I wouldn't trust gut feelings, you never know what's going to happen! Stay positive you may very well be carrying a little girl! Xxx

I certainly am... Baby showers aint really a done thing over here, but they are becoming more popular! I had one with ds2 which my bbf sorted out for me. This time I'm kind of using the organising of the shower to distract me from all the little worrys I'm having (plus I'm a control freak haha) you should totally arrange a baby shower after all you won't ever get the chance again will u? Xx

This little skirt is in loving memory of my
~*Christmas Princess*~ April that I lost that would have been due right after Christmas, and I will hang onto it until this little one can fit into it! :)

[homebirthing princess]

Awww that is beautiful hun xx

[Cinss]

Butterfly your DD is going to be so super cute in all that stuff, love it!

I had a look in the boy sections today keen to buy anything and came back with nothing :( i don't know why but none of it really jumped out at me. And it was mostly summer stuff and we will be having a winter baby, so i guess ill just wait.

[Brandles]

I love it Butterfly, that is so sweet and special!! She is going to look adorable in that!!:HH:

Cinss, I thought as soon as I heard pink I'd be clearing the shelves. Nope, same as you, I've walked in looked at clothes and walked out empty handed. Lol! I wonder when I'm going to break and just start buying. You can always start buying for your summer weather. I've been looking in the sale racks here and there because our summer clothes are on sale and she'll be a summer baby. I found a cute little bathing suit for her online. I can't wait to buy it. :wink:

[homebirthing princess]

I really thought I'd be non stop buying but I'm so fussy nothing really stands out to me, she has 2 dresses and a few cute baby grows that's all! I'm finding myself looking at all the cute boys clothes tho....they seem to have lots of lovely winter stuff for boys here at the moment! X

[Cinss]

Maybe buying for the opposite sex is out of our comfort zone or something, i see all the cute girly stuff, and i think oohh i know some of the ladies on GD would love this haha. I think i might start with the bigger items like cot, car seat, bath, etc until i get more used to buying blue ;)

[Wishing4Pink]

I'm so glad that you other ladies have said the same as what i've been doing. I've haven't really had the time to look properly since finding out, but when i have looked, i've walked away not really impressed. I suppose trying to sort Christmas out hasn't helped. Waiting for the jan sales tho ;) x

I believe this to be true.. I still feel like I'm in a foreign land in the girl's section..LOL
But in the end we have to buckle down and buy those onesies!!!!

[Brandles]

I seriously thought it was just me. I waked into Target last night and ended up in the baby girl section. I totally imagined me buying pink pink pink!!! Here I was surrounded by pink and I felt the same feeling, nothing really impressed me enough to buy. I found myself peeking at the baby boy clothes instead. Lol! I don't know if I just feel overwhelmed in the pink section or if I'm trying to be frugal. I'm trying to find clothes on sale. I'm not really worried about newborn clothes, because I'm positive I will have a ton of hand me downs and I'm sure I will have a ton from my baby shower too. So when these winter clothes start going on sale I'm going to start looking for next winter clothes or next summer.

I did find this on the sale rack for only $3. Not the cutest outfit, but I thought I couldn't beat the price.

[sweetpea]

This is such a fun thread!! I have bought one pink outfit so far, only because I saw it, picked it up and couldn't put it down. It was just too adorable. :) I'll have to snap a pic tomorrow and post it here. ;)

[Butterfly Spirit]

Ladies, it will be fun to pass down all our favorite toys as a kid.
I LOVED Rainbow Brite!
And Keypers...Holy Shiz I FORGOT all about that! I had the orange ladybug one!
I also loved and collected Care Bears, My Little Ponies, Baribies.. and Little Mermaid dolls even in my teens I think!!! There was also ..in my later little girl years Little Miss Mermaid, Little Miss Magic Jewels, and Baby Alive that I loved and took good care of!

You can always find them on ebay and watch for deals!

[Butterfly Spirit]

Brandles, what a beautiful stash you have there!!!!!! :)

The two on the bottom.. my FAVE! Ahh! :HH:

[sweetpea]

Here's the outfit I picked out for baby girl. It's in a premie size, since all of my babies have been tiny and wore premie for awhile in the beginning, and I figure that this one will be no different, especially given that she's a twin. I think I might use this outfit as the "going home" outfit from the hospital. The mesh bag attached to the outfit holds a white onesie with a mama bear and a baby bear on it, and it says, "mommy loves me." :awe:

Oh and sorry for the crummy pic, the lighting in here today isn't the greatest...

[Mrs_P]

Loving all of the cute little outfits girls - can't believe i may get to buy pink (fingers crossed). Snook a quick look on the next sale website today - so many beautiful things and so cheap. Felt so guilty looking.

How far gone were you all when you started to shop? I've never known this early so never brought anything with the boys til closer to 30 weeks, it always felt like jinxing things with the miscarriage risk but this is the first time i may ever get to buy pink and it seems so exciting. I have a few really cute things i brought when we were ttc just in case i never got to buy pink but am too scared to even look at them - silly i know!

[homebirthing princess]

So we took the plunge and decorated lil misses room, its not completely finished as I need to add shelving and floral bunting to it but thought I'd share her very pink room with u guys :) one wall (with unit unfront) is wallpapered in pink and white polka dots but u can't see it very well on pic!

[homebirthing princess]

Has anyone else started the nursery? I've begun washing her clothes now...is it to early? I need to nest though lol x

[Wishing4Pink]

Little Willows room looks lovely hun. I really need to work out a list of what i need!! Hope you had a lovely Christmas x

Wishing everyone a wonderful New Year :celebrate:

[Northern_Shutterbug]

I'd like to say its never too early, but that's because I bought the baby's buggy when I found out I was pregnant in September, but it turned out to be a CP. But now things are feeling a bit more positive I've gone and bought a new seat unit for the buggy and the new car seat with adaptors. Only 34 more weeks (all being well!) and this little one will have its lovely Bugaboo to be pushed around in! (to be fair I bought it at a BARGAIN price second hand, and it was originally intended as a stroller to do the school run for DS2 but when I found out I was pregnant I wanted to keep it all for baby!)

[3boys]

Homebirthing princess that room is so lovely :)

[Cinss]

Has anyone else started the nursery? I've begun washing her clothes now...is it to early? I need to nest though lol x

Nope our plan is to have bubs in our room for the 1st year, then i will do his room when he is 1 and moves into a cot. I am nesting though, just cleaning out cupboards and making room for his stuff.

[Bimby]

Havent done anything in the nursery yet as like Cinss bubs will be in our room to begin with but probably only for a few months so we will paint it soon. It is currently a very beautiful bright blue lol I painted it for DS2 but they are sharing rooms now so looks like we will have to paint again lol Im thinking we will do a neutral cream colour and decorate with other things all pretty and girly :) I bought some cute little outfits today to celebrate but my phone is on charge so will load tomorrow.

HBP your daughter will love her beautiful room x

[Brandles]

HBP~ I love her room!!! I definitely don't think it's too early to start washing. I'm such a planner and like being very prepared.

We haven't started on anything yet. We wanted to wait until the holidays were over. We still haven't figured out the room situation yet though. We need to do that soon because she already has a wardrobe and I just hate seeing all that pink stuffed in a basket. Shoot, I'm ready to wash and hang her clothes already!!! :wink:

[homebirthing princess]

Willow will be in our room for the 1st 6mths but It was annoying me having all her things spread around, iam the biggest organizer (touch of OCD lol) so I feel loads better now its kind of finished :) I was hoping it would help me get excited too as I'm finding this pregnancy difficult, I think its to do with worry iykwim....like I'm finally having my dream gender and I'm so scared something will happen to take it all away! I'm glad I'm not the only one nesting though :) x

[Brandles]

Omgosh, HBP, I feel the same way. Finally getting my dream gender and so scared something will take it all away too.

[homebirthing princess]

I'm not the only one then.....I hate feeling like this tho specialy as this is my last ever pregnancy I really wanted to enjoy it and not wish the days away, I never felt like this with my boys! Xx

[Brandles]

I'm not the only one then.....I hate feeling like this tho specialy as this is my last ever pregnancy I really wanted to enjoy it and not wish the days away, I never felt like this with my boys! Xx

Same here... Last pregnancy and never felt like this with my boys either. :worry:

[Bimby]

I hear ya ladies!!! Ive been like it too and I so wanted to enjoy every day in this pregnancy :( Im really trying to - Oh and HBP I like to be organised too!! Renovating this new place is a complete disaster for my OCD lol

thought Id share what I bought yesterday after the scan :) We dont have much cash so only bought 2 things from target, bonus was they were 40% off so it only cost me $20 for both sets which I thought was pretty good :)

So very cute Bimby! :)

I bought a girly carseat cover off of etsy with some Christmas money my mom gave me. I've had my eye on those since before I knew I was having a girl. I wish I would have ordered it in November so it would be here on time but oh well. I'll post a pic as soon as it comes.
I hope everyone had a great Christmas and New Year! :)

Very cute, Bimby, I love the outfits!!

Butterfly, you'll definitely have to share a picture of it when its all put together!! I've totally been on etsy checking out the carseat covers. We have a peg perego infant carseat and I can't find any to fit it. But have seen some that say "fits in most".

[ynwa]

So we took the plunge and decorated lil misses room, its not completely finished as I need to add shelving and floral bunting to it but thought I'd share her very pink room with u guys :) one wall (with unit unfront) is wallpapered in pink and white polka dots but u can't see it very well on pic!

Fit for a princess x

[Brandles]

I finally got around to taking a pic of some of baby girls Xmas gifts that were still not put away.

Love these cute little bracelets
7669

I honestly am having a hard time picking out my fav outfit so far... I love them ALL!!! I have to say though, I really like the one with the little butterfly's and flowers... So girly!!!

[Bimby]

So very cute brandles!! xx

[Rosie85]

Everything is sooo cute. I admit I am very jealous! Haha

[Butterfly Spirit]

A couple of you have asked me and I wish I could post the pics of the carseat cover. It's super cute! But I will tell you what it looks like..
and I chose a ring sling to match it! I don't want to post their copyrighted pics.. but I will explain the cover:

Minky pink and brown with brown damask print on the pink.
(If that makes any sense! )and the ring sling cover is one layer of brown and one layer of pink with brown damask print trim.

Here's what cracks me up.. that SIL that I no longer speak to gave me a little dress for my baby for Christmas and booties that were completely girly. I used to HATE pink, but I finally made peace with it, and even like it, and at the time I was talking to her I kept telling her.. "One day I will have a daughter and she WILL be dressed in pink!" I don't know if she believed me or not. But last year I incorporated pink more and more into my wardrobe and even got a hot pink zebra print purse as I was swaying! LOL

So it was interesting when she gave me a brown dress for my daughter.. and pink booties her mom crocheted.
It's all a psychological game though.. she didn't buy my girl a PINK dress or purple or any feminine color of the sort. But then I went back and found pics of carseat covers that I liked and ironically.. two choices I loved were pink and brown. Mostly pink and a touch a brown! So I decided.. that's going to be the main theme with her.

I'm in love with pink, and brown and damask together! :)

This year I'm going to learn to sew if it kills me! I know I can if I just be patient and put my mind to it! I want to make a matching carseat canopy so I'll at least have that in time!

[Butterfly Spirit]

Everything is sooo cute. I admit I am very jealous! Haha

Let me tell you, you could still buy your little man a DARLING carseat cover too! I saw several the other day online.

[homebirthing princess]

Sounds lovely butterfly I love pink and Brown together...in fact that was my colour theme for my wedding :)

Here's a pic of willows 1st Christmas dress for nxt crimbo, I got it in the sale from next....had my eye on it for a while and decided if she was a girl I was going to buy it for her :)

[Bimby]

Thought Id post a pic of the newborn/000 clothes I was just given by a friend. This is only that size, I have 00 & o's still in a box - This little one will need a set of drawers bigger then mine!

[homebirthing princess]

Wow love it :) she has lots of lovely things by the looks of it!

Does anyone have any nice boy things to show? We wanna see it all :)

[Bimby]

Agree HBP! I catch myself looking at the boy outfits all the time, some of them are just so cute!! Has anyone started on their nursery yet??

[Cinss]

I haven't bought anything yet :( I do have a few things on my watch list on ebay like nursing pillow and ring sling. I also keep looking on the Next website, i just cant commit to buy anything yet i don't know why! Here are a few things i got for xmas from my SIL.

Cute Cinns!!!
Go out and buy something!!

[homebirthing princess]

Aww I love the little robot sleep suit its so cute! I looked in next the other day and couldn't help look at the boys stuff they are soooo cute right now in fact there was a lot more nice things for boys I was really disappointed in the girly stuff, cinss go buy blue I insist :) xx

[suregena]

I've bought many things so far but haven't taken a photo of them yet (all while I was back home in the US...)

Before I left I saw this on the Target website which wasn't sold in stores and I HAD to have it. My mom ordered it for me and she'll mail it to me when she gets it.

I really don't like pink for girls... it's too gender-controlling to me (I'm so weird!) but I'm okay if it's muted/peachy pink or pretty limited... and this outfit is adorable to me.

BURT'S NBG Woodland Prnt BS Blue : Target (http://www.target.com/p/burt-s-nbg-woodland-prnt-bs-blue/-/A-14370018)

I loved it so much my mom got me one for the baby in two sizes... ha...

[homebirthing princess]

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

When my dh is home tomorrow, I will put my boy things up. I've purchased some clothes for my little guy that I LOVE!!!

[Butterfly Spirit]

Well we did end up getting several second hand clothes, but they are in the freezer right now.. I'll probably bury them in the snow for a week though just to be safe haha

I've bought a few more things too but not all are here yet I'll take pics when they come:
3 blankets: pink and brown zebra stripes,
a brown and pink polka dotted one,
a princess pink crown one

A brown and pink polka dotted diaper bag ,
a ladybug boppy pillow for (tummy time),
and a my brest friend nursing pillow MY FAVE ( brown pink and yellow polka dots)

We bought 2 new sleepers and I am working on a bow for one of them. It's mostly done.

[Brandles]

My friend siste is setting us up well with newborn clothes. Just got two more bags of clothes... These were my fav's.

Oh, it's just the worry I have over bedbugs.

My DS#1 LOVES the Animal Planet show Infested!
So I can never forget about it, even though I don't hear about it happening.

Because DH and I love to go thrifting for clothes for our kids because you do find treasures, and with little girls (we've recently found out) there is SO much more!
We wanted to buy the store! There's still an epidemic all over the country with bedbugs and they are HARD to get rid of and expensive as hell to eradicate them.
You have to be careful about hotels (even 4-5 star), yard sales, and second hand places, or buying locally from your local classifieds ESP furniture!
After my own research, I'm not even confident about the freezer anymore. Luckily it's Winter right now.. so DH buried the clothes we got in tied up bags in the snow.
So that makes me feel better. :)

[spinningmadly]

It's more effective to put them in the dryer for 40 min on high (when they are dry right when you bring them home ). Heat kills them.
I am super paranoid about them too. I make peopl that visit put their clothes in the dryer lol
The freezer isn't effective though I read..

To treat for them sometimes they heat up rooms and objects so the heat I know works

[ThreeMenAndALAdy]

Spinning, how are you doing??? Can you pm me or put something in our thread. I miss you!!!

[homebirthing princess]

I love this, iam a total sucker for anything Cath kidston I'm in love with everything she does :)
My mums making me a bumper set and doing it in a patchwork floral theme xx

[aroundtheworld]

Here are some of the bigger items we've purchased so far.

8290
A case of Pampers (with another on the way via mail). While I have a huge cloth diaper stash, I'm not even trying to pretend that they will get used within the first month or so of giving birth to twins (and having another child in diapers, too)! Ha!


8291
Two Boppy Loungers. I read that these are a must have for moms of twins.


8292
My first lot of DOUBLE baby girl clothes! *squeee* I already have another order from Sears ready to be picked up and more Baby Legs/headbands/bows being shipped to me than I care to mention. ;)

[Butterfly Spirit]

The quality sucks.. but It made my morning!
DH picked this all out by himself and brought it home. :)
I just had to share!
There's even a pink sequined headband! (but I know it's probably too big lol)

He even went to the craft section to get the little faux pearls and buttons!

This is probably going to be an outfit you will see her in and we'll take pics of her in. Even though I have not figured out a bow for this surprise outfit.


8341

[aroundtheworld]

Butterfly, that is SO precious! I love that your DH did that.

[Brandles]

I'm really loving the Zulily app on my phone... A little dangerous though. I found this the other day and bought it. I'm thinking about bringing her home in it with a cute dainty little headband.

8535

[Butterfly Spirit]

Brandles that is SO beautiful! Especially for a May delivery! :)

[Brandles]

Thanks Butterfly... I love it and can't wait to see it in person!!!

Today I stopped at a cloth diaper store and had to buy this little newbie diaper... I love it!!!

[wilma_five]

Don't you all worrie about the "non sleeves" shirts and dresses? I'm expecting in July but am only buying long sleeves because I think it's to cold for a new born with "naked arms".

[Atsaukina1]

[Bimby]

That is amazing HBP, how clever of you all

[homebirthing princess]

Thank you ladies, I got very emotional when we finally put it all together, just can't wait to see her actually laying in there :') x

[luckylass]

OMG that pram is amazing HBP. You must be so delighted with it. :)

[homebirthing princess]

Iam hun, I always wanted a vintage pram :)

How are you and your little lady doing? X

[luckylass]

Doing well thanks for asking. How are you and Willow keeping?

I am so in love with your pram though. Can't believe how beautiful it is. I knew it would be lovely but you will be the envy of little girl mammies everywhere. It is stunning. :)

[homebirthing princess]

Glad your both ok..only 26days till your official 'D' day how exciting do u tend to go over due or have your babies earlier?
We're both ok I'm just sooooo excited to finally meet my baby girl....hope she hasn't grown a winky tho lol!

I've told a few ppl at the sch about my pram and I've had alot of 'well I will have to have a push' :) I think ppl either love them or hate them don't they x

[luckylass]

Only 26 days yeah. Ds1 arrived 17 days early and ds2 arrived 21 days early but betting this little lady will take her time. :)

[fish2012]

homebirthingprincess i love it!

[Mrs_P]

Ok so i gave in and went to next at the weekend, i figured after two i think its a girl ultra sounds, a girly nub and my cvs test i'd bite the bullet and presume its probably a girl (and this will be the only chance i get to do the girl thing anyway as its our last). Three people in next came over and asked me if i needed any help and if i could find what i was after (apart from looking like a weird person loitering near the girl clothes trying to gain confidence to pick something up i had my boys with me so what they were probably saying was er are you sure your in the right aisle the boys stuff is over there!).

I came home so pleased with my two little dresses til i saw my best friend who said isn't it a bit early to be buying clothes your only just gone 20 weeks, its a bit like tempting fate :worry: i was so upset and now keeping thinking what if i have jinxed things? I did wait til 30 plus weeks with the first two boys (the third i brought something blue a couple of weeks after the 20 week us as a way of bonding with him)

[fish2012]

ah mrs_p the imagine of your loitering like a shop lifter in next made me LOL!

i don't think you're tempting fate if i hear girl and the gender scan dh will have to remove my cards ;-S

[Bimby]

I bought a few things straight after my 20 week scan. It felt really strange but I just had to get a couple of things to try and let it sink in. Try not to worry about others comments. For me I figured I'd enjoy the moment, its not like you're pulling the tags off & washing them so forget what your friend said, enjoy the pink ;)

[Cinss]

omg Mrs P dont listen to that "friend"! She obviously just trying to ruin your happy moment. Buy whatever you want and enjoy every little bit of it.

[Cinss]

I got some goodies from ebay today :) I just pinched the pics from the listings so i dont have to bother taking pics, but they look exactly like this... The green owl towel wrap is a baby shower prezzie for my SIL who is expecting a boy in May and the blue shark one is for my baby boy :) The nursing pillow is for me too, cant wait to start using it!!!

[homebirthing princess]

Aw Mrs p I don't think its tempting fate at all, most ppl buy something after the 20wk scan.... I did :) it felt very strange buying pink after 2 boys! I kept tags on untill 30wks I think then I started washing everything.

Cinss I can't see your links it just says invalid link boo :( xx

[Cinss]

oops, i tried uploading again :)

[homebirthing princess]

Aw I'm loving the towels they are mega cute :) xx

[Bimby]

Those towels are awesome Cinss! Very cute!

[fish2012]

Not sure why your friend would say that to you? Why wouldn't she just be happy for you and want to go shopping with you? Kind of weird. You should be able to enjoy buying those girly things!! You have waited long enough!!

I too found myself browsing the baby girl clothes the other day and it felt very odd in a good kind of way. I am waiting until after my 20 week US to actually buy anything (I still think this baby is going to turn into a boy) however, come 20 weeks DH better just stand back and let it happen:)

To my horror it has rings made of PLASTIC! ummm not sure that complies with Australian Safety standards! Oh well at least DD has one now that she can put her dolls in while i get a different one :)

[Butterfly Spirit]

From Etsy. They have all kinds of them on there! But the lady I got it from is from "Baby Seams" shop on there. :) It will take her or any of the ladies 2.5 months to get it out to you.
