Shopping for Baby and Mommy

Darling Husband (*Note: I'll now be referring to my better half as DH, lest anyone think I'm a complete sap) and I are eagerly expecting a new arrival to our little household this fall. A baby boy! And with a baby comes shopping of course.

With this being our second child and our second boy there is very little to do in the way of preparation. And I do LOVE preparation. So, once I'd picked a new crib and a double stroller (a process worthy of it's own post) I found we didn't *need* much more. Instead, I've found plenty of "must haves" that, while not entirely necessary sure are fun! Here are a couple of my favorites. And by all means if you've found something that I simply must have before baby deux arrives please share!

I found this darling minky soft car seat cover too cute to pass up. Since our little one is arriving in November I know it will keep him all warm and toasty. You can order your own at the Baby Bella Company website. They have several options in 100% cotton for summer and my favorite, the soft minky material for winter.

I found this second item almost by accident while watching Tori and Dean- Home Sweet Hollywood (please don't judge). In this episode she was delivering her second child and I couldn't get over how adorable Tori looked in her hospital gown. It never occurred to me that somewhere, someone (surely a woman) would come up with the idea for a designer hospital gown. What a brilliant idea!

Sure enough when I went online I found several companies offering these gowns. I like B.Y.O.G the best and with so many cute choices I'm still deciding between two, "blue lagoon" and "lemon drop". Maybe I'll get both--after all I will be in the hospital for 4 days.

If you are pregnant I hope these are fun new finds for you and if you aren't well, I hope the post was able to entertain you for a few moments in your day.

Cheers,
