Week 22

This week was a pretty productive one! We painted the nursery and finished registering! When I say "we" I really mean "me" and Brandon in spirit. We've been together going on 8 years now (whoa) and have figured out that A. I'm the creative one, he's the financial one. B. He's not that neat of a painter and C. Unless he has the opportunity to scan every as seen on tv product in the store (like he did for our wedding), he has no desire to register ;) So on Saturday my cousin Heather braved the cold and together we combed the baby stores for all day hours. Walking up all those aisles and comparing products, (of which you most likely know nothing about) is both exhausting and overwhelming.  I ended up registering at Babiesrus, Buy Buy Baby & Pottery Barn Kids. In case you have never been to a Buy Buy Baby (It's owned by bed bath and beyond; hence you can use your coupons at buybuybaby too!!) It has 10 times more of a selection then babiesrus....the downside is the only one in Michigan, is in Grand Rapids. I found most of my big ticket items there, bedding at Pottery Barn and lots of odds and ends at Babiesrus. Adelie's closet continues to grow, and I can't believe in four months she will actually be wearing them :)!
