Forgot the Bassinet...

I have no idea how I forgot to add the bassinet that Baby Watkinson gets spoiled in... we got the white one with ALL WHITE pique' bedding... SO PRECIOUS... It's already set up in our bedroom!

snuggly items

My little angel will have this precious bunny buddy blankie with love from Grammie and Gearnie to cuddle with forever... :) Bunnies by the Bay makes these... I am VERY much into white for both boy or girl at this point for some reason...

And of course because I didn't know Grammie and Gearnie were spoiling my angel baby... I already bought this precious Baby Gund huggy buddy. I AM CURRENTLY WANTING EVERYTHING I SEE WITH WHITE LAMBS... I think they are the sweetest things ever...

I also got the Baby this Little Giraffe blanket in white (of course) and the travel size blankie in white as well... fortunately my mother spoiled us girls a while back with the Barefoot Dreams (same company) bathrobes... so I won't be tugging my baby's blanket away from him/her. :)

I am also (thanks Mom) very into organic clothing for the baby... These baby gowns from Under the Nile are precious... they look very "baby" to me... and I love all three classic colors!!

I also ADORE classic baby clothing... seersucker, bubble suits, gorgeous Christening gowns, rompers... BABIES ARE SUPPOSED TO LOOK LIKE BABIES!! NOT MINI-MILEY CYRUS'S!! UGH! :)

Anyway this little bubble suit couldn't be cuter for my late summer baby... :)

monogrammed items...

Debating on wall art... http://www.etsy.com/view_listing.php?ref=sr_gallery_2&listing_id=23290133&ga_search_query=wall+monograms&ga_search_type=tag_title&ga_page=6&min=&max=&order=

I am loving this one I found on Etsy... has the best color options as well... shows the green I would like (key lime) if I get a boy and choose green with the navy and it also showcases the pale blue I like if it's a boy... Ice blue. Of course the pale pink showcases well, too!! :)

I also think these wall letters are precious... But since Baby W is in the "trunk" room that the fan houses have, they may take up too much space! Especially since our girl name options are both double names: Anne Bradley and Lucy Carter.

We are still debating boy names... Brad told me he would think about it when we find out what the baby is... I feel as though I may be harassing him a bit about this issue... :)

We will definitely be placing a cross in this baby's room... We want Baby to feel Jesus's comfort at all times... :) We've been praying for this baby daily... (and Mommy and Daddy, too!) Of course I'll have to see if they can incorporate NAVY for those small green dots.

I love the handmade rag rugs... this is a precious pale blue one if I have a little man... :) There isn't much space in the baby's room so a tiny round or oval shape will suffice! :)

Some purchases already...

We ended up opting for the Baby Jogger stroller so we only had to purchase one... It is the perfect blend of the Chicco Cortina Discovery that we wanted and the Bob Revolution... has the perks of the Chicco: a super padded child seat, the seat lays completely flat for naptime, the huge awning, and best of all, it fold by pulling ONE handle. I wanted the Bob for jogging and this stroller had the qualities of the Bob PLUS those mentioned above... I LOVE IT! :)

This Graco Snugride in Platinum was the perfect match... I AM SO THRILLED and am strangely ready to put the seat into the back of my car, though I think that's a tad pre-emptive on my part...

This is the Pottery Barn kids bedding we ended up choosing... YES EVEN BEFORE KNOWING THE SEX... We have a gorgeous white crib that I'll post pics of soon, thank to my niece Anna for moving into a big girl bed... So the room decor is going to be white, navy, and pale pink if it's a little princess... and for a little man, white, navy, and sage green or a blue similar to our bedroom paint color (Benjamin Moore, palladian blue). We have the crib set up and all that needs to be accomplished (besides finding out the sex of the baby so I can add the color accents) is for Daddy to paint the baby's dresser... I've also been looking at Anthropologie for the new dresser drawer handles... :)

Here is the crib that Baby W will be sleeping in... it's so gorgeous! :) I would love to find a neat chandelier for the baby's room, but may stick with the lighting that is already in there...

More accessories and finding maternity wear!

Nevermind the booties below... These above are absolutely precious!




This nursing cover works for both baby sexes to keep Mommy looking snazzy! :) http://www.pinktaffydesigns.com/windsor-nursing-cover-p-3837.html



I think my sis-in-law Samantha may have had a bag similar to this one... I really want something plain or in relatively plain colors. Not sure why I want to be so boring with the diaper bag, but I just don't want to get sick of seeing the pattern... so far this tops my list of attractiveness. http://www.pinktaffydesigns.com/black-white-floral-messenger-oioi-p-2172.html




The little giraffe blankets are so soft and snuggly that I really would enjoying having one of my own... they come in a variety of colors: pink, lilac, blue, periwinkle, mint, sage, yellow, butter, and white. Of course I would prefer white, but may have to splurge on the pink for a little princess of my own! http://www.pinktaffydesigns.com/little-giraffe-chenille-blanket-with-satin-trim-p-518.html Fortunately, Nordstrom carries the adult line that makes bathrobes. The pink one keeps me happy every morning! Thanks Mom! :)


Since my little girl (a little toehead of course) will be full of hairbows, she'll need a bow holder such as this one... except that her name will be Anne Bradley so we'll have to switch up the initial! :) http://www.pinktaffydesigns.com/pink-chic-boutique-hair-holder-p-4348.html

I love these polka dot booties... wish they were pink and navy, I am kind of over the brown with pink and blue... I do love them though! http://www.pinktaffydesigns.com/perfectly-princess-booties-p-3479.html

Today may be the baby girl shopping day... I can't resist a precious angel in a tutu! Ask my nieces, Eliza and Anna! They're the most adorable ballerinas you'll ever see... This onesie with an attached tutu MADE MY DAY! Cutest website too! http://www.pinktaffydesigns.com/princess-onesie-fluff-tutu-p-2580.html

I will definitely be frequenting Anne Marie's store... THANK GOODNESS she started Now Showing- Your Belly Boutique! http://www.nowshowingmaternity.com/ This is going to be VERY helpful come May when we have 2 weddings and a family reunion at the end of the month! Not to mention just needing a good pair of jeans... I've also THANK YOU GIRLS had numerous requests to continue checking http://www.apeainthepod.com/ to find cute maternity wear! Fortunately with the help of Bella Bands, I can still fit comfortably into everything... with the button unsnapped! :) One of my dear college friends is having the May wedding in West Palm Beach at the Breakers... when I asked for the attire so I could get ahead of the game... her response, in typical precious Ali form, "tropical chic!" I think I'll have an easier time findnig myself something to wear rather than poor ol' Brad... Not sure how tropical chic my husband is... we'll do our best! :) If anyone sees any tropical chic maternity dresses that are relatively fancy... keep a girl posted!
