Baby Clothes!!!

This is from my wonderful Godmother Nadine... I freaking LOVE this shirt!!! (Close up of the graphics just below)


These are from David's parents. I didn't know Mickey was a Longhorns fan! :]


Some more cute clothes they sent. I LOVE the purple outfit. The little jeans came with a pink dress... I like the jeans. Not the pink.


This is Penelope, and she CRINKLES!!! Also, the ribbon loop will allow us to clip her onto a baby carrier, etc. for travel and play!


Daddy stopped at the NEX (Navy Exchange) on the way home from work, and came home with a 6-pack and this adorable purple sleep set! (I think he's excited to be having a daughter...)


I FINALLY found a GRUMPY BEAR!!! I have been looking for one for YEARS, and I think they're pretty rare, because they're stupid-expensive online and I've NEVER seen one in a store. He was only $6 at a local baby stuff consignment shop!!!!


This is the stuff I got on my Goodwill Adventure last week.
All of the following pieces I got for $1.99/item! :]

ADORABLE alligator shirt, and three supercute onesies!! All newborn or 0-3 month sized.


Here's the detail on the white onesie from the pic above, and a 6month sizes purple onesie. :]


Cutesy wootsey onesies! Check out the WHALE detail on the striped one!!



Just a shirt, and a little polka dot skirt, and I simply couldn't resist the blue eyed girl shirt, even though it'll be waaaaay too big for a long time! She's going to have the prettiest, bluest eyes, I just know it. (Genetically speaking, she can't have anything else, really...)


And here's Daddy's favorites, of all the stuff we've got so far...


I'm sure I'm not going to post pics of EVERYTHING we buy, but as long as I'm home and bored, I might as well, haha.

P.S. I'm going to a sale tomorrow too, that friend of a friend is having, so there'll probably be a Baby Clothes!!! Part 2. next week.

Till then, Peace, Love and Cuppy-cakes,
Mama Powers

The Shopping Begins! Woo!!

Yes, I know we won't actually find out what-all is in THERE till tomorrow's ultrasound appointment, but in an attempt to really get into this whole "baby-thing" I've begun to collect some absolutely FABULOUS and/or freaking ADORABLE baby clothes! I've included some picky-pics.

Ok, these first things are GENIUS, and I can't wait to use them on Baby Awesome Powers. They're legwarmers for bebes, which means you can pop 'em on with a onesie and baby will stay warm, and be easy to change! You don't have to wrangle with PANTS. My longtime friends/acquaintances are well aware by this point of how we feel about PANTS here at the Powershaus. To sum up: They suck.

So without further ado:

BabyLegs
On Earth Day (April 22nd), the BabyLegs website ran a fabulous sale, which I learned about as a "fan" of BLs on Facebook. The sale was on certain patterns of BabyLegs, which were selling for $2 that day! Their minimum order is $6 (I *think*), and I'd picked two pairs of the $2 patterns, and then chose a pair at regular price. They have great sales ALL THE TIME though... For instance, today just happens to be Military Spouse Appreciation Day, and a Facebook follower suggested that BabyLegs run a sale on their camouflage leg warmers, AND THEY DID!!! Also, if you sign up for the monthly newsletter, you get 10% off your first order! Seriously, if you follow them on Facebook and Twitter, You'll see that they constantly run sales and give discounts. Our baby isn't even due till October, and I'm already in love. With the BabyLegs, hahaha! Check it out! Free Shipping today!!

I also found, via the BabyLegs Facebook fan page, a fellow blogger who is having a giveaway of BabyLegs on her blog! Her blog inspired me to write about how freaking FABULOUS I think these things are. Have I mentioned I think they're fabulous?

Here are the ones I bought:

The Earth Day sale ones are the two pairs on the left, and the regular ones I bought are on the right. I love that it doesn't matter how big or small your baby is, you can just scrunch 'em down, or stretch 'em out. I'm so looking forward to putting these on our baby. Especially our little Halloween baby!

Here are some pics of the other clothes I've bought this week. It's hard to "shop neutral" when there's SO MUCH cute/fabulous stuff that's got pink on it. And I don't know why I wouldn't put the cute pants with the teeny weensy brown elephants on a (potential) boy, but they just didn't look "boyish." I think this is a rant for another time. I will just say that I hate pink on either gender baby. Or on a cat, or on pretty much anything. I hate pink. Here's the rest of the clothes I bought:



We're going to tie-dye the Tiny Tiger with orange and purple so it will be Clemson colors!! And the 3 onesies in the pack with writing say "I love Mommy", "I love Daddy" and "Cute as can be". They were on SALE! Daddy Powers really likes the Born in 2010 one. :]

Here's the last and in my opinion, MOST AWESOMEST of yesterday's purchases:


I have no idea how to turn this in Blogger, nor the time to fiddle with it.

So that's that. I'm excited about shopping. We find out the sex/quantity tomorrow. Twins run on both sides of my family, so it's something else to worry about. We're excited and I'm a bit nervous. To me, the baby is still very abstract. Tomorrow, when we get to SEE it, it'll all get REAL and we can REALLY start playing "the name game." And our CRIB is ready to pick up at the Navy Exchange! Eek!

Peace, love and Cuppycakes,
Mumsy Pow.
