Our First Major Purchase

Last weekend Jackie and I ventured into the world of Babies R Us and let me tell you that place is something! They literally have everything! It was like the Sam's Club of baby stuff! We had a blast looking at all the potential things we will need. Somehow we went just to look around and ended up buying the baby furniture! Here are some pictures:

Here it is as the crib

then the day bed,

then the full size bed.

And here is the dresser that we got to go with it.

There were a lot of options, choices, and prices that were all over the place (started at $189 for the crib, all the way up to $449). But we thought this set was a nice looking, durable, and not over-priced for what we were getting (we went in the middle of the price range for those of you currently shopping). They are still in boxes, but we will definitely update you on how the assembly and final product turn out! Overall, it was a relief to finally get these after all the looking, searching, and being overwhelmed with all the choices and options! But we are pretty excited with our decision and cant wait to finally start putting this kid's room together! 

Baby Clothes!

So we have had a BLAST looking at/shopping for baby clothes! It would be so easy to buy all of the ones we see, but then we remember we need to eat, pay bills, etc. thus our restraint! But I thought it would be fun to share some that we have chosen to get, as well as a couple that were gifts from Grandma and Grandpa Nutt! I mean, what else is the internet for but for expectant parents to clog it with pictures of their to-be children's clothes, right??!

Latest Dr. Visit

We saw the Doctor today, he had nothing but good news! It really is refreshing to hear from him because (although I understand it to be a necessary evil) you read so much about what could happen during a pregnancy. All of the possible problems, chance of this, % of that, so it was nice to hear the doc ease our (mostly my) minds. Jackie has only gained five pounds since her first visit! Mostly attributed to (almost always) proper diet, and regular exercise, he seemed very pleased with this, as are we!

Also, more exciting news: our next visit is March 8th, and after our visit with the doctor, we will be able to have an ultrasound to show us the sex of the baby! We are so excited, and literally cannot wait to find out! There is a good chance we will enjoy the moment for a few days to ourselves, then share with the rest of the world. So please dont be offended if you dont find out right away. We just want to take a brief period of time to just enjoy this moment between the three of us :)

Not too much else to report. Jackie's bump is starting to show, we finally took pictures tonight! Check facebook for those, or I will most likely be posting them here as well.  Thanks to everyone for all of your feedback and experiences with products/items/etc. Youre contributions are invaluable and we would greatly appreciate it if you could continue doing so!

WTF?!

Has anyone ever heard of this?! Or known anyone who has done it?? It sounds WEIRD! Like eating the placenta after birth weird! I need thoughts people!!

Internet Findings

Here's a cool website I found with a specific example of why I think it is cool!

Fun food plates and more!

Almost sold...

So...in seeking out info on diapers last week and spotting a few posts around facebook, I checked in to disposable/cloth diapers at gdiapers.com. I am not for the cloth diapers by any means, but I am very intrigued by the disposable concept. They are much more eco friendly and biodegradable. Cost seems to be comparable as well. We may be off the beaten path when it comes to diapers. I'm ok with it :) Check it out!
