My First Baby Purchase

Ok so it is a double-sided coin of sorts that this new baby is the same gender as the last because it means that while we will have all the clothes we need, it also means we have all the clothes we need. I want to get the little one new stuff! And let me tell you little boy clothes just melt me. I love the sleepy blues and bright reds. Tonight at Babies R Us whilst spending ridiculous amounts of money on diapers (yeah, I wish I had the steel countenance to use cloth and be a-ok throwing crap into my washing machine but I don't and besides it's proven that the cloth is, pardon the pun, shittier for the environment) I managed to sneak in a few baby purchases amidst Holden's things.

To anyone reading this (does anyone read this? lol) who is expecting a baby or hopes to be in the future....GET THESE GOWNS:



They come in a lot of different styles and companies, I just happened to like the peace signs and alphabet soup. Anyway newborns look so freaking cute in them, particularly boys because they are sorta like little monk robes or unexpected dresses. And they have the hand/claw covers attached to the sleeves. It cuts down on the time you spend during those late night changes. You just pull up, do the biz, pull down. Fumbling with snaps in the middle of the night is such a pain. As a second resort get the zip up feetie pajamas. but these are the best. Ok yeah I am totally geeking out.

My little boy is so beautiful. He is really becoming a little toddler. He is so good at standing up nearly on his own or with barely leaning on furniture. He talks in some alien tongue which means he's trying to emulate our language. And he is such fun to be around. His real features are emerging now. And he totally has his father's perfect male jawline and elven nose. The cleft chin is his own. He's a total heartbreaker.



And my tummy almost halfway along. Everyone says you look huge really fast with the second but so far I feel bigger than I did with Holden but not too awful:



I think I am lucky in that I carry them high. But the game isn't over yet.
