Baby Kiss' Shopping Day!

Out we went to shop for Baby Kiss, over the past couple weeks we have worked really hard to pick just the right Nursery Furniture for Baby Kiss (after all she will have it until she is probably 18, as it transitions to a full size bed!), as well as the bedding to make her nursery as fabulous as she will be! 

The furniture was easy, we knew if we had a girl, we would most likely choose French White as the color, as long as it coordinated with the bedding we liked most! We fell in love with the Davenport by Baby Appleseed Collection in Colonial White at Buy Buy Baby! It is beautiful and just plain fabulous...we are in love! Sadness arose, when the news of its estimated arrival will be some time between February and March...I had fingers crossed it would be sooner...but I had a feeling it would be a series of weeks before we had it in! 

Davenport by Baby Appleseed in Colonial White

This is the whole Davenport set...in Espresso
we ordered everything but the armoire in Colonial White!
Except our dresser will be the 6 drawer dresser. 

We looked at bedding everywhere and even looked into custom bedding. I didn't fall in love too much with any of the custom bedding I saw...they were kind of gaudy, and not to mention EXTREMELY expensive. 

After much debate we decided on our top 4 selections of bedding...

The Contemporaries....

Harlow by CoCaLo
(My original favorite! You know me and my
love of green and paisley!)

Melrose by Sweet Potato by Glenna Jean
(Loved the bold colors, gray and yellow,
but wondered if it was too loud!)

The More Classic Baby Approach...

Jungle Jill by Pam Grace Creations
(I didn't really want a themey theme, or anything
really baby, but we fell in love with this giraffe.
Jeff's love of the giraffe (since he had giraffes when
he was little) melted my heart, but I wondered if
it was too LIGHT in color.)

Jacana by CoCaLo
(We loved the combination of warmer, deeper colors with the
fun giraffe and monkey, but still were a little worried about
being so attached to a theme.)

And the WINNER is...

Melrose by Sweet Potato by Glenna Jean!!!!
Funny enough at Buy Buy Baby, this is the
exact CRIB set and BEDDING that we chose!

 So yesterday was the big day...we went in and ordered ALL of the bedding in Melrose (we had already ordered the furniture on the 23rd)! It was hard to commit...that is for sure... but I just kept going back to this one! It really caught my eye with the various materials and patterns, and I thought it would be so great to play with painting the nursery since the palette has more variety than the black, cream, and green Harlow set! I was truly in love, and Jeff slowly started to LOVE it even more, and decided he could trade it in for his giraffes. He was so excited about ordering it and we BOTH absolutely are in LOVE with Lil' Miss Kiss' nursery furniture and bedding! I can't wait to see it all come together! I think it will make for a beautiful and contemporary nursery, that we will all love! Wish us luck in the creation of it all in the coming months! Jeff is dying to paint the walls...I love his love of painting and projects! We even ordered a SUPER, COMFY nursery chair to rock Baby Kiss in during those late night wake ups and to read story time books in before bed!

It is simple, but OH SO comfy!)

Since Daddy was sooo in love with the super, cute giraffe, he HAD to buy it for Lil' Miss Kiss, so when we were registering last night, Daddy bought his first gift for Lil' Miss Kiss. He bought the pretty, pink and brown giraffe has picked up EVERY SINGLE TIME we have gone into the baby stores the past couple of weeks, and a little matching blanket with the little pink and brown giraffe on it! He said this blanket would be perfect for her pack 'n' play...I am sure it will be her favorite blankey and stuffed animal since it is from DADDY! He made my heart melt at how excited it made him to pick out these special things for our Baby Girl, and filled me with nothing but happiness, joy, and smiles!

What an amazing Daddy he will be! 

It is official...we are REGISTERED at BUY BUY BABY! Yesterday was filled with fun and excitement as we bopped around Buy Buy Baby busy as bees registering for all sorts of things... from bottles to baby food making contraptions to cloth diapers and high chairs...we did it ALL! We walked around with a personal shopper who was sooooo helpful in suggestions and leading us through the store! I would so suggest this for 1st time mommas, Darla was super informative and had recommendations from both her personal experience and what she has heard from other moms! Jeff is super excited about (me) making natural baby food with the Baby Brezza, and I am super excited to try the cloth diaper approach! Jeff was hilarious and wanted EVERYTHING in PINK and girly, however, I tried to take the more neutral approach in case we have a Lil' Man Kiss down the road. Jeff said "she is going to end up a tom boy if we buy her ALL neutral stuff!" Of course she will be in all the girliest of clothes and such, but we tried for a gender neutral approach in things that can be used again later! It was super fun to plan for all of the things we will need for Baby Kiss!

 When we began shopping for Baby Kiss' bedding and furniture a week or 2 before we officially registered...I finally decided it was okay to park in the EXPECTANT MOTHERS spot...so here I am on our first time to park there...I think it was actually around December 16! But, I thought this was a good milestone to make sure and add to the BLOG!
