After 42 long weeks of waiting, our little girl has finally arrived! Born on March 7th, 2007 at a whopping 10 pounds, she is everything we dreamed of and more. Here is a little collage of the pictures I took on the morning of her "2 Week Birthday"....Enjoy!
Diaper Cakes make any baby shower! Not only are they very stylish, but practical. We haven't found any good sites that sell them (mosts sites offer diaper cakes priced between $99 - $129). But, this past weekend our neighbors, Danielle (very talented and crafty) and Meri threw us a surprise baby shower. And, these handmade diaper cakes were there (especially designed and made by Danielle).
These cakes were so fab, that we've tried to convince Danielle to design and sell her own diaper cakes. However, Danielle doesn't have the time to pursue. Yet, if you're interested, give us a comment and leave your email and we'll have Danielle contact you!
Natalie and I are already looking out for baby announcement cards! It gives us a great chance to visit a FAVORITE designer of ours Amber from in a baby carriage. You can visit and learn more about here directly at her website (where she sells direct).
We've found a couple of front runners for us. Natalie likes the "Cupcake announcement"....and so do I. I also like the "Initially Yours" announcment.
Yes, I know....It's been a LOOONNNGGG time since we've posted at the Baby Fashion Gift Blog! But, we're back and here to stay. The good news is: WE'RE HAVING A BABY! The bad news has been about 10 weeks of unrelenting 24/7 morning sickness...YUCK! Now, that I'm back to the land of living, I've got 10 long weeks of fun new Baby Fashion Finds to update all my loyal readers with:)
Some of my latest and greatest favorites are:
The newest baby and kids dish designs from Liberty Garage. Pirate Pete's Fish & Chips Grotto and the 3 Wishes Mediterranean Buffet are just too cute and definitely some of the most unique options around for children's dinnerware. I'd like to eat my dinner off each of these sets, but being Preggo and all, my portions aren't that small these days:) Find these Liberty Garage goodies at Polka Dot Whale.com today for just $22.95!
Handmade Ballerina Tu-Tu's from Petite Pirouette are back and now in Toddler Sizes, too! It takes a long time to craft these gorgeous rose petal confections for infants and todders and we've finally received our latest shipment! In six beautiful colors, there's a tu-tu to fit every little girl's personality to a "T"! Pick one up at Polka Dot Whale.com for just $42.95!
Crib Rock Couture introduced baby tee's this summer and Polka Dot Whale is one of the first boutiques to have them in stock and ready to go! From Lil' Miss Muffet to 3 Blind Mice, these hip tees with a combo of rock concert and nursery rhyme themes are sure to make you smile:) Not only are the designs some of the hottest around, the shirts are super-high quality pima cotton and enzyme washed and custom-dyed...no ordinary baby tee! Snag one while they last at Polka Dot Whale.com!
Stay tuned over the next 6 months as we approach D-Day--February 14, 2007! We'll keep you updated on all the happenings as they happen:)
About 6 weeks ago, I sent Leslie a jar of Mother Love's Pregnant Belly Salve as a little preggo treat! Their products smell amazing and are all-natural and safe for use by pregnant mothers. Before I knew it, she'd used the whole jar and was begging for more. She spreads the Belly Salve all over and prays for "NO Stretch Marks"! Leslie says that aromatherapy scent helps she and the baby relax as they get ready for bed every night.
I sell a really nice gift set from Mother Love at Polka Dot Whale that Leslie purchased for herself last week! Leslie's Pregnancy Wisdom: "All Preggo's need to treat themselves!"The gift set also has nipple cream, rhoid balm, two different types of bath tea-bags, birth & baby spritzer, and birth & baby massage oil. All the products are intended to be used during pregnancy and during and after delivery. A lovely shower gift that will really pamper the mama herself!
And, for a friend who's just found out she's expecting, I've put together the Mama Care Gift Set for Expectant Mothers. It includes a mini version of the MotherLove gift set above, and also includes a hilarious book, Hot Mama by Karen Salmansohn, PreggiePop drops, and an Anne Taintor brag book photo album with retro graphic that reads "Wow, I get to give birth and change diapers!" The perfect spot for all those big belly photos to come!
By the way, Leslie says to be sure not to dump out the bath tea bag into the bathtub because it "isn't very relaxing that way!!" Use it like a tea bag in the bathtub:) Only Leslie!
Both of the above are available at www.PolkaDotWhale.com, ranging from $46-$48.
Just found out that Leslie is having a BOY...she really is just like Britney Spears:) We're excited and busy searching for our "All Boy" favorites! We'll keep you posted...
Tomorrow is the big day that we should find out whether my sister, Leslie, is having a boy or a girl! We're excited and once we know we'll post a collection of our favorite boy or girl baby gifts on my blog.
This photo shows Leslie (with blonde hair now) on 07/03/05 when she was just about 6 weeks preggo! Not much to see yet, but it gives you a starting point reference since we'll update with some pics as the belly gows & grows & grows!
