preparing for BABY: part 1

Babe #2 will be joining us in a mere SIX weeks, and LET ME TELL YOU,

the nesting is in full swing around these parts!

 {the first baby girl onesie I have ever purchased!}

My most recent act of nesting was pretty darn significant in the whole let's-bring-another-baby-home arena:

I UNPACKED CARTER'S LITTLE, ITSY-BITSY BABY CLOTHES AND SEPARATED THEM INTO "BOY PRECIOUSNESS" AND "UNISEX PRECIOUSNESS!"

Ahhhhhhh! I have made the leap!

 {0-3 months! So very teensy-weensy!}

Anyway, it was actually quite a difficult thing to do! It took me a whopping 45 minutes to get through the first 7 outfits because I just wanted to sit there and gape at how absolutely minute they were in size! How had Carter fit into these?

{I even tried to place a little hoodie on his head, like a psycho, and the bottom of the coat barely reached his shoulders!}

HE IS A FULL-GROWN, BEAST, MAN-CHILD NOW!

{okay, no, but you know what I mean}

 {and look at these!}

 {how could I possibly cut this wardrobe in half if this next baby is a girl?}

Is it socially acceptable to dress your baby girl as a boy?

Does that choo-choo qualify that little knitted preciousness as a boy's-only outfit?

I don't think I care.

I think I'm just going to have to stock up on the bows and headbands so that way people will know she's a girl {if that's what he/she is}, and dress her in Carter's old clothes!

{this was one of my favorite outfits}

Seriously.

I think that's what I'm going to have to do: from the neck up she'll be a girl, but from the shoulders down she'll be a boy.

{Has anyone called social services on me yet??}

My friend Jenna said I can't dress my baby girl in any sort of football clothing, but I don't know, man, I just don't know if I can pack these things away!

It REALLY just makes me want another boy!

sheesh!

But anyway, here are some other things I have been able to check off the BABY TO-DO LIST:

- completely reorganize our once-horrendous hallway closet, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia -

- scoured the atrociousness that was once Carter's "baba cabinet" -

- thoroughly cleaned our blinds with my mama - 

- picked a LEGITIMATE camera to document the arrival of this little one -

{canon rebel T2i....woohoo!}

- chosen a proper lulu wrap, perfect for multitasking -

So yay for nesting, and cheers to making one more step towards BABY-PREPAREDNESS!
