Daddy helped me pick it out for her. We had looked at a few from Evenflo but I didn't like the quality, seemed cheap and flimsy to me. But I did pay about $30 more for this seat, and the quality is noticeable. It was on sale so I saved $10! What a deal! :o)
I also bought this diaper bag. It was part of the purchases I made with my gift cards, as well as the car seat!
Of course it's pink, what'd you expect? :o) She has a lot of pink, I know! But I've also got some lavender in there. I need more, but that can come later.
Here's a slide show of the crib set I bought her. It's the first girlie purchase I made, and I made it right after we found out we were expecting a little girl!
I got it from the local Craigslist, and what a deal I got on it! It retails for about $65 more than I paid too. The bonus sheet is cute, it has a neat design on it that matches the edging of the crib blanket and the underside of it. It's really delicate and the pic doesn't really show the detail too well. AS you can tell these pics are stock, I still haven't reinstalled my digital photo software since the reformat and I'm not sure when I will finally get around to it! But the stock pics give you an idea at least. The bedding is much more vibrant in color than what these show, but again, you get the point! Not only does it have butterflies (duh) it also has ladybugs and dragonflies. It's so soft & so cute! Some of the decorations are satin & some are fuzzy. Perfect for baby!
Still in need of bassinet sheets, by my mother in law has offered to make some. She picked out some really cute fabric too! Nice and soft, just perfect for baby. All the stuff I found online was either over priced or really poor quality. I didn't want to put her on scratchy and thin nasty sheets! Yuck!
So as for big....it turns out that for the last 3 appointments with my OB we've been measuring bigger than our due date. So after yesterday's visit I was scheduled for an ultrasound this morning to measure the baby's size. Bright and early at 7:30 am we were there to find out if my measurements were due to a larger baby or an excessive amount of amniotic fluid. I of course was rooting for the over flowing swimming pool! So I got up on the table and the tech started poking around and checking on baby. It's amazing how much bigger she is now! It's also amazing how much harder it is to decipher the images on the screen at this stage. I could make out the head and the abdomen, and when she put her hands up or moved her feet I could tell what those were too. But otherwise I couldn't tell. She showed us a good view of her rump too! That's my girl I tell ya! It turns out baby is bigger than her weeks and could possibly already be over 6 pounds....which doesn't sound bad. That is until you do the math and add up what her potential birth weight could be! Here's how it breaks down (this is my calculations, I have to check back with the ob on the 7th of August): Baby is being induced in 5 weeks, at this stage babies tend to gain about a pound a week, so potentially she could be 11-12 pounds.....YIKES! Not so thrilled about this one. Not just because she will be big, but the potential complications that could arise during birth. She could get stuck! I actually read up on this, and she could tear poor mommy up too!! OUCH!! I read about macrosomia. It's when the baby actually grows bigger than 9lbs 15oz. There's some known causes like gestational diabetes, gaining too much weight (which could be part to blame) and going past the due date.
Regardless, I'm a bit overwhelmed by it all. I'm just going to sit tight till my next OB appointment and see what she has to say about this. I'll update with the newest baby information after I know more. I'm just hoping that no matter what the outcome my daughter will be born without complications. Wish us luck!
