Rookie mom mistake? or just one stylish baby? (or both?)

Ok, all I know is Sophia better get here soon before I buy up the entire inventory in Gymboree & Gymboree Outlet! I seem to pass the time waiting for her arrival by shopping for her (and daydreaming of how adorable she’ll look so I just HAVE to buy it)! Since I don’t know exactly what items a baby really needs (or doesn’t need) I just end up buying everything! I’m afraid this is a rookie mom mistake as rumor has it all a baby really needs is some plain white onesies and a receiving blanket to get by! But how boring and how can I NOT buy that cute sweater jumper or miniature cardigan or skinny jeans!? (is this just a rookie mom thought that I’ll later regret and end up finding it easier to just dress her in that onsie?)…just in case I’m keeping the receipts! I’ve went as far as making an inventory of everything she has and I am trying to spread out the items I’m purchasing to fit her throughout the year but, still, I’m left wondering if I’m buying too much or if its going to be ok and she’s just going to be the best dressed baby I know (or at least better dressed than me! LoL).

Our Lil' Peach

This blog is going to follow Brian and my journey into parenthood and the many adventures of baby Sophia. For years Brian has called me Peaches (exactly why he started calling me that has been lost in time) and he has started calling our little girl ‘lil peach.’ A nickname I just adore. So, here it is my blog about our lil’ peach!



Here I am at 38 weeks pregnant or to be exact, 38 weeks 2 days, which means I have 1 week 5 days (or exactly 12 days!) until my December 31 due date! After almost 9 months of pregnancy you would think 12 days would seem like such a short amount of time so why does it feel like she is NEVER going to get here!? Maybe its the fact that I had wanted her to arrive a week ago or maybe its knowing that I could pass the next 12 days and actually meet January without a baby! Whatever it is, we are just TOO excited and time seems to have slown way down. The suspense is starting to really get to us and hope that every day is ‘the day.' Brian checks in on me every few hours asking if I’ve felt any contractions yet. To which I sadly answer, no, but who knows...maybe tomorrow is the day!!! :)
