Here I am! It is hard to believe that I am in week 30 of pregnancy! I am, for the most part, feeling really good. That is not to say that I do not still experience pregnancy symptoms. (more…)

Gifts for Baby Boy
My mother-in-law recently sent us the most adorable first gifts for our baby boy–bodysuits, onesies, and sleep n’ plays! She did an amazing job picking out a variety of styles fit for a boy. The items are from Target and feature some of the most trusted brands in baby clothing (Carter’s, Circo and Gerber). I also love that she bought multiple sizes so we have items that our little one can wear in the months to come. Here is what she sent… (more…)
Deciding to Use Cloth Diapers
About a month ago, a dear relative of mine asked me if I had considered using cloth diapers. I chuckled and said, “Yeah, for about a second and then I decided I don’t want my baby wearing plastic pants.” That was my idea of cloth diapers, which was based on one experience I had using them back in 2002 when I was a nanny for a young boy.

It’s a Boy!
Well, it has been confirmed that we are having a baby boy! I was hoping for a little girl for the longest time, but am thrilled to be giving my husband a son. We were hoping not to find out the sex of the baby, but since an ultrasound is done every time I go to the doctor here in Germany, it seems inevitable that a little boy would make himself known. You know, because of his little “equipment”. So, I have now turned my attention to all things baby boy. Now that I know, it is much easier to shop for baby items and register for things that are specific to just him. I do still hope that in a year or two I will have the opportunity to experience all the joys of pregnancy with the gift of a little baby girl.

Nursery Themes
When I first found out I was pregnant, my head was racing with nursery ideas. Because my husband and I did not want to find out the sex of our little one, neutral nursery themes were our only option. Finding nursery decor that would suit a boy or a girl was quite challenging. I wanted something fun and colorful, which in my opinion, is not typical of the neutral baby items offered in stores. It seems like the world has designated pastel yellow and mint green as the “official neutral colors for newborn babies”. Yuck. It is not that I completely dislike those colors, but why not give baby something more exciting that says, “welcome to the world!”. Here are some resources I found in my search for nursery ideas:
