Bouncies and booties and blankets, Oh My!

This weekend, I did a little shopping for Baby H. This was a big step for me since these are the very first baby items I have purchased. It felt a little strange, but it was really fun (and a bit overwhelming) to start planning and thinking about all the things we will need to get ready for his or her arrival. A friend and I went to a local consignment sale where we found a few bargains on some gently used toys and baby items. I bought a bouncy seat, play mat, activity desk and a beautiful wooden rocking horse (I was somewhat of a horse freak as a child, so just in case he/she takes after me). I tried not to go too crazy since I know we'll register for most of the essentials, but I couldn't resist picking up a few things. Some of them we may even use as a backup for the lake or grandma's house.

Baby H is already very loved and has received a few adorable baby gifts. 'Aunt' Laura gave us a beautiful teddy bear and 'aunt' Margie gave us a swaddle blanket and very colorful booties. All of these items are in his or her future nursery and I can't wait to start planning and decorating the room. It's going to be so cute!!
