Purchases

Last weekend I ordered something called BabyLegs, at babylegs.net. Basically, baby leg warmers in super cute patterns. I chose "watermelon", a funky stripe in bright greens and yummy oranges. The company was started by a woman who was making them for her own daughter 2 years ago, and passers by were inquiring as to where she found them.

As you can see, the little emblem at the ankle has the initials BL. They think it stands for Baby Legs, but in my world it's Baby Leonard! If we ever agree on a name for her, and it happens to begin with a B, I'm just going to have to buy every pattern they carry.

They arrived today, along with a freebie promo pen that happened to be a pink/clear Bic pen with with their website printed in green. It's a sign - everything pink and green! I'm keeping it inside the Petunia Picklebottom diaper bag that I purchased a few weeks ago, which also happens to be pink and green. A silk diaper bag - I must be insane.

Arriving last Saturday was the custom crib bedding I ordered earlier this month from a woman in Texas named Cat McQuigg. The whole set includes a crib bumper, coverlet, crib skirt, throw pillows, windows panels, and a tote bag, all in a mix of the following pink, green, black and white fabrics: Terrace Stripe, Spirodots and Twister. Super cute, and one of a kind. I'd love to post a pic, but the crib isn't put together (because I have no place to put it) as of yet. I'm tentatively planning on starting her room the 3rd weekend of May.

I did, however, put together her dresser/changer combo. Less than 2 hours to put it together all by my 6-month pregnant self. Of course Kitty XL thinks it's a new fort for him to sit on top of, so I'm hiding the changing pad that goes on top of it from him.

On the way is this pink canopy to go behind/around the crib, just for a little drama, and these cute little drawer pulls for the top drawer of the changer. I think they will really show up well against the black wood.

Less than 90 days to go until my due date!
