<\/p>\n

Saturday morning Sweetie and I went to the Anthem Mall for just a couple of hours to shop.?? Keep in mind, I didn’t have 9 months to prepare for a baby and because she was born premature, haven’t been able to get out much.?? I have been sooooo appreciative of all those who rescued me and brought baby items and clothes but I have also been very excited to shop for my daughter so I finally got a chance.??<\/p>\n

I am not a label snob…in fact, I really like second hand shopping because you get to see everyone’s clothing line all in one place :)…but I can’t help but love Pumpkin Patch Wendy Bellissimo and Naartjie.?? I did go in to Pumpkin Patch to buy an outfit a couple of weeks ago and when ONE outfit ensemble rang up to 70.00 I changed my mind.?? Come on now -that is truly insane.?? But I was sooooo happy when we found sales at Naartjie today and we went a little nuts.?? I am pretty clothes particular for my girl.?? I don’t like plain clothes and I don’t favor yellows, blues (except a bright aqua)??or peaches for her.?? I love soft dresses, polka dots and stripes, baby ruffle bottoms, tights, leggings, and skirts with leggings and of courese bows bows bows!!! Guess when you are married over thirteen years before having a baby girl, you get a little particular LOL.?? Unfortunately, I did buy her things over a decade ago now that I no longer like.?? Jim warned me that would happen but I never predicted I would have to wait so long for a girl.?? (I do like SOME of the things I bought years ago thankfully).?? Most of the clothes I bought today were 3 to 12 months so it will be awhile before she can wear them but I can’t wait to take pictures of her in those outfits – sooo cute!?? I even bought a St. Patricks day dress at Carter’s today so I need to get busy on a green bow!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Look at her sleep smile!?? So precious!?? I just love dressing her in soft dresses.?? I get to buy dresses now!?? Wooohooo!<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

For Aunt Jodi – I made that bow myself!?? Do you like?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

I have to have lots of feet pictures.?? I love baby feet.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

Think she didn’t want the light in her eyes??? My little princess needs her sleep shades.?? :)?? Tanner and I got such a giggle when we found her like this.<\/p>\n

I have been posting more frequently because I am writing several posts at once and then saving them for a slow release.?? :)?? It is almost 1:00 AM on Friday night and I have been sitting at my computer for 30 minutes trying to ignore Tori’s sad hold me cry.?? Last night I was at my witts end with realizing that she is getting less and less tolerant of being put down.?? After her bottle, she wants to sleep on my chest or in my arms…OR ELSE!?? She doesn’t make idol threats either BELIEVE ME!?? By 6:00 AM I was begging her to sleep on her own because I wanted my dead arm back.?? So tonight I determined to make her cry it out awhile.?? She has been quiet for about 5 minutes now.?? Think it will last?<\/p>\n

Was thinking today that we are really covering the adoption gamet well aren’t we??? We now have experience with semi open, open, and closed adoption as well as embryo adoption, domestic adoption, high risk and special needs adoption (due to Ty’s extreme prematurity), and transracial adoption.?? Any questions LOL??? \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
