On the way home from the sono Mike stopped at Kohl's to buy his daughter her first outfit. I stayed in the van with the kiddos and waited to see what he had picked. Out he came with 4 outfits! I giggled and said..."Oh, thought you were just getting one....?!"
During the last week I have also been given a brand new hot pink snowsuit that will be the perfect size for our little girl next winter. Also my sister had been given bags of gently used clothing and she passed some over to me....a lot of cozy pjs, summer jumpers and 2 darling fluffy dresses!
To help with welcoming our girl I decided to re-vamp the nursery a bit by adding some Pink paint to the wall where her crib will be. I have matching crib bedding on both cribs so I have decided to just sew on hot pink accents to the quilt. On the mobile I plan on adding dangling "diamonds and pearls". So far my brainy idea of painting has taken 1 week and I have more work still to do on Obadiah's "wall". The nursery originally had a teal ocean theme. On the back wall upper half (pink now) I had painted a mural of water, sand and trees. The bottom half of the entire nursery is painted dark teal! So that was a hummdinger to prime over and get ready. I spent 1 whole day taping off and priming just the main 2 walls. After 5 days of drying I was able to do the FUN part with the help of my family...aka "The Boys"! I let each of them paint a few roller fulls...they were thrilled to death to be a part! Such a great memory for Mike and I to watch. Little by little everything is and will be coming together!

So this pregnancy we have been getting ready and it has been so much fun getting little girl outfits again.
