Sorry that I haven't updated in a while. I guess I'll try to catch up in this post! We have just been super duper busy preparing for our little man and me getting myself accustomed to going back to work. Let's just say that going to back to school has not been too fun... but that's an entirely different post!
In the meantime, I have registered for our sweet boy's showers and arrival. We registered at Babies 'R Us, Target, and Wal-Mart. Actually, I haven't registered at Wal-Mart yet, but I'm going to! I had such a fun time the day we went to Babies 'R Us. Thanks to my dear friend, Laura Lee, I really felt like I knew what I was doing. She sent me all kinds of checklists and suggestions. Thanks, LL! I also took my mom, grandmother, and aunt with me... they are always a big help! We registered for diapers, bottles, car seats, strollers, fun toys, diaper genies, and the list goes on and on... I had no idea that there was so much stuff to choose from. They even have baby wipe warmers and bottle warmers you can plug into your car... who knew!? It was SOOO fun!
We have also been working really hard on the nursery. Cody has all of the furniture put together, and I'm beginning to work on decorating the walls, etc. We've decided to use an Ole Miss theme. I'm sure you all could have guessed that! We just know that our little rebel will love it. Hotty Toddy! We have most of his bedding on now... we're just waiting on his custom-made bumper pad to come in to complete it. As soon as it's complete, I will take some pictures and post them!
I have also been doing my fair share of shopping! I try not to buy too much because I know we have showers coming up, but it's so hard. So, I'm trying to buy unique things that people won't think of... like cute little smocked football outfits for his first Ole Miss football season. We went to the Helen Brett Show this past weekend, and I'm proud to say that I only bought one monogrammed outfit and a painting for the nursery! Pretty good, huh?
