In other words, we're FREAKING OUT.
Finishing my dissertation allowed me to finally embrace the fact that I am having a baby-- and I am so damn excited about him I can barely stand it. Behold: photographic evidence of my nesting frenzy.
Here's a super small Zutano outfit I got for him to wear home from the hospital. It's seriously teeny. I also got a ridiculously small sleeper from Gymboree because I remember tiny Harry was dwarfed by newborn clothes. In case you're wondering, he'll wear a white onesie underneath and blue striped socks and a blue striped hat. Phew. Glad that's all planned.
Oh yeah-- while I was shopping for the above adorable outfit, I saw this house and decided Harry must have it immediately because I have clearly lost all common sense. I never did have a clear grasp of spatial relationships or solid geometry, so I was surprised that it didn't fit anywhere but the living room. Just what every living room needs, huh? Ben was/is so annoyed. Mainly because it obscures his Wii playing angles.
You probably see this picture and think, Oh, Sarah washed some of Harry's old blankets. No. If only that were the case. I decided this baby needed his own color pallet (crazy), so instead of the blue, red, and yellow stuff we had with Harry, I got all pastel blue, mint green, and white stuff. Somebody take away my debit card.
This is the inside of Harry's house at the end of the day-- funny, huh? He spent a long time dragging all that stuff in there. I especially enjoy the fridge door from his kitchen. Yesterday, he added Polar Bear, Polar Bear What Do You Hear and a turkey baster.
As soon as it's above freezing in Wisconsin, it's ice cream season. Harry approves.
Harry is probably as excited as you are...he will be able to have "timeout from baby" in his little house...We can hardly wait to see the pictures of the new addition too...our love, Bomma
ReplyDeleteWow, you guys are on top of things! It looks great and your excitement is contagious. As soon as we know the gender of Baby Bravo I'm sure I will be off and running too.
ReplyDeleteWhew! I knew Harry was growing up so FAST, but the ice cream seriously looked like a Fred Flintstone beard! I knew he wasn't THAT grown up!
ReplyDeleteIn some of these pictures he does look seriously COOL, and only a bit tolerant of his uncool family, doesn't he?
