We went in for an elective ultrasound on August 19th, and found out that Baby Camera Happy is .........
A LITTLE GIRL!!
My hubby and I are both very excited as we were hoping our first child would be a girl. Her name is Piper Harlowe, and she enjoys kicking her legs and playing with her umbilical cord.
We are working now on getting the nursery together!
We have purchased a crib for a KILLER deal at Babies R Us ($299.99 marked down on clearance for $99.99)
Cute bedding from Burlington Coat Factory:
In The Woods by Cocalo ($169.99)
We found a glider at a garage sale:
$10.00, we purchased fabric to make new cushions though, as this color doesn't go, and the cushions themselves have definitely seen better days.
We are also getting a free dresser in fabulous condition from a close friend, but I don't have pictures of that yet!
All in all I would say we've gotten a good jump on baby things!
Now if we could only find the right place to move to....
