avocado baby clothes

Can we talk about just how FREAKING CUTE baby clothes are?!? I probably need to stop buying so many of the baby clothes because I am sure the grandparents will be buying several and, you know, there’s other things I should be saving my money for… But I am so glad that the Man found this adorable little avocado number for our little man. HOW CUTE, right?!

I am absolutely obsessed.

Currently we are working on all the little things, trying to make it so that when December rolls around we don’t have 5 million things to get done. After all, it will be my favorite time of year and I’m already planning on getting a Hallmark Channel subscription for the month. Christmas cookies, hot chocolate, and movies is how I plan to soak up those last few weeks before the new year. Therefore I’ve already started washing the baby clothes we have, starting to gather the decorations for the nursery, and organizing everything throughout the house.

It feels like there is SO MUCH to do to prepare for baby. From organizing our storage room to moving my office, setting up the nursery to reorganizing the kitchen, and also training the pups so they don’t lose their minds when we bring our baby boy home. AH.

For all the mamas out there, any recommendations on how not to completely lose it as we prep for baby? Any book recommendations on baby things? It’s just setting in that we are going to have a human child to look after once this is all done, and now it feels even MORE real. We have been all focused on me and pregnancy so far, and now it’s starting to shift. It’s SO weird, but also so rewarding to watch our little family morph and grow. Also, I THINK I felt a couple of kicks/movement this weekend so I’m even more thrilled about it all!
