Spoiled....already?!

Just in case the previous post made our child look very deprived, (since there aren't even crib sheets on her mattress yet), I just have to reassure you, she has been receiving gifts, since she was only 10 weeks along!

Many Thanks to everyone for the overwhelming amount of "stuff" that we have received so far!

Today, our little bun in the oven is 30 weeks and 6 days. I feel her room is very naked.  I am very anxious to start getting her wall decor and few accessories arranged.  I have convinced myself, to just wait a few more short weeks until we are showered with tons of cool things,

and then Let The Fun Begin!!
