My list....

Big list of things we have to buy. We're starting to get really busy with all of Gabriela's stuff, and getting it all put together and what not. I thought I'd make a master list of things I still need to purchase.

1. Swing. We want the Graco Sweetpeace swing. Retails for $179, though it can be found numerous places online cheaper and on sale. Currently it's on sale at Target for $161
2. Mattress. I need a new mattress. I'd like the organic cotton one at Target that retails for $99
3. Recliner. I'm going to get a new relicner for our family room, as that's where I currently spend most of my time, and will be after she's here - they're great for feeding and who doesn't like to put their feet up?
4. New Pack-N-Play. After going back and forth - and back on forth whether or not to use this (they're so big) we decided to. DD's from last time is missing most of the bars that go on top for the changer. So we're going to get a new one. Not sure which pattern, and they sure have changed in 9 years!!
5. Baby bath tub. I need a new one. I like one at Target that's pink. It's cute!
6. Baskets for changing table. Found the ones I want at Walmart last night! They're the absolute perfect color for her table! I only wish they were lined with pink instead of brown. (baskets are brown) hmm.. maybe I can make them?
7. Cloth diapers. No I'm not doing CD, but I love these for burp clothes. I'll make sure to put them on my registry at Target!
8. Letters for her name! I plan on doing the "trendy" look with her name above the crib, only because I find it adorable and didn't do it the last 2 times! So I need to purchase those at Hobby Lobby!
9. Scrapbook! I've decided to do her baby book instead of buy it. Those ones you buy (like I have with my other 2) are over prices, and you can make them SO MUCH cuter!! I can't wait to get started and want to get lots of ideas! I might even ask my sister in law for some help as she has all the stuff!
10. Bottles! The only bottles I'm interested in are the Adiri bottles! <-- see link for more info. They're so awesome, and look and feel just like Mom! They aren't cheap, and so far the only place I've seen them has been babies r us. I'd like at least 2 in each stage!
11. Baby carrier! I'm totally sold on the Moby Wrap <- click link for details. This to me looks like the best baby carrier! My husband would like a baby bjorn carrier, but I might find one used and just use the Moby most of the time!
12. Dresser! -- actually this we found last night, and are probably going to go pick it up today some time! I'm excited! It matches her set perfectly!! :D
13. Coming home outfit! I need to find my precious girl an amazing coming home outfit!! I'm on the look-out, and have seen a couple things that are cute. I guess I have time for this. She'll be a summer baby so I don't want anything too hot or warm, but then I don't want anything too cold either!
14. Breast accessories! I need a breast pump, I'm leaning towards the Medela Harmony. It's a manual breast pump. Sure I'd like something more powerful, but I love breastfeeding, and don't really plan on doing tons of pumping. So.. I think I'll just go with a basic manual. I need breast pads! A lot of them!
15. Good nursing bra! I'm going to get a Bravado <- click link... But I want to wait to see how BIG I get first!
16. --- be back later to finish!

As you can see I have tons to buy!!! We don't have a lot of help in terms of people buying for us. I know my father in law will get us something, but honestly this was my late Mother in Law's thing! I'm sure he has no clue, but my husband said he will. I'm not really going to wait around, I think we'll just take care of things on our own I suppose. I have so much to get!! I just want everything to be perfect! I feel like I don't have that much longer to go!!!!

Ok.. I'll be back later to add more. Hubby is putting up the crib now, and I need to take pics!!

:D
