I bought new baby (name will be revealed tomorrow- it is a name I love and we are honoring birth mom and her father with the middle name) this premie outfit that says "little brother." It is TINY!!! I do not think Lillie's little baby doll could squeeze into it! But our little 5 lb nugget should fill it out nicely!! Lillie is going to wear the sparkly Best Big Sister shirt on loan to us from Bailey, and I picked up a cool I'm The Big Brother shirt for Josh!
We have been NESTING LIKE CRAZY!! I bought baby detergent, a blue crib sheet and changing pad cover, a rug for baby's room, and receiving blankets on a quick trip to Babies R Us. I washed the paci's and bottles from Wednesday's trip to Wal-Mart and packed the diaper bag with bottles, formula, burp cloths, pacis, diapers, wipes, and an extra change of clothes.
I picked up a gift for birth mom- a photo album where she can put the photos we send, a box of chocolate (she is after all an 18 yr. old young woman who just gave birth!), and we're bringing flowers as well. I had thought about maybe a necklace with the baby's birthstone but a good friend helped me think through it and we both thought it could be a possible first Mother's Day or first birthday gift if it seems right to do it then.
Can't wait to post pics tomorrow!
I can't believe how TINY that outfit is!! I can't wait to see the post with pics of him, his name and stats etc!
