Baby Boy Stuff

So knowing that we're having a boy brings lots of excitement. and a lot of pressure. it's not like people are putting pressure on me but I put it on myself. you see - our sweet boy will be here in July and i'm ready for his room to be put together: everything in its place and everything that he needs (which is a TON of stuff) to all be here and put away in his nursery. I guess you would say i'm impatient.
so instead of driving myself nuts - i've been browsing pinterest and started my amazon registry for all the things little man will need.

Baby needs a lot.... and some of it is so EXPENSIVE.
*Crib: Brandon's amazing aunt Teresa has offered to buy our crib and I am really pumped about that!!
*Stroller/Carseat: the one I want is awesome but it's also expensive
*Bedding: Our nursery colors are gray and yellow and I picked out the bedding I would like to have.
*Breast Pump: I want to breastfeed more than anything. It seems overwhelming when I think about going back to work, because I do want/need to keep working, it will probably be hard to find time to pump. But I am going to do this. Hence - I need to find a great pump. I registered for the medela but my mother-in-law and i are working on this - we may go with a different one
*Baby Monitor: some people say it's ridiculous and we don't need it but after the input of several real-life moms we are going to go with the video :)

**and a lot of other little things...

Things we have...

*a dresser that will also serve as a changing table (thanks to Mrs. Julie)

*cloth diapers: I am buying these little by little and am determined to give them a good try. of course i will gladly take some disposables for all those times when cloth diapers will not be ideal but i really want this to work. and i don't mind laundry or the work that goes along with it. i just hope they work for baby's bottom :)

**and we already have some really cute clothes thanks to my sweet sister and some hand-me-downs

If you want to see some of the stuff I picked out... check it out here...

We (me and the grandmas) are going to the WeeCycle in Boone and the same type of deal in Fayetteville in the next couple weeks so I'm pretty excited about finding some good deals on used stuff. maybe a glider or a baby swing - things that I don't want to spend a LOT of money on but I kind of want.

I've also been looking for good maternity clothes for spring/summer and those are also expensive considering you wear them once - I'm all about hand-me-downs and hopefully I'll find some at these sales :)

obviously showers and all that fun won't come until later so until then - i will be patient.
