HOLY SOCKS!!!
- by Katie
I love love love these. I used to work in the LA showroom that sold these socks to department stores and boutiques and had not forgotten them over the years. They are by a company called Trumpette, one of my favs on the market right now. I mean come on!

Josh and his baby girl
- by Katie
After we found out that we were having a little girl the shopping started…immediately. On the way home from the ultrasound we stopped in at the local Babies R’ Us for a little shopping. As soon as we walked in the door Josh noticed that the clothes were buy one get one free. I turned to look at something and when I looked back I found my adorable husband wading through the racks and racks of pink frilly dresses and floral onesies finding cute things for his little girl.
After about an hour of looking around we picked out 4 dresses and a ton of designer onesies. All in all a great day.
ohhhh Miss Petunia Picklebottom!!!!
- by Katie
While shopping with my mom the other day I found the most perfect diaper bag! I had been seing this particular brand pop up over a baby message board I’m on and fell in love with it awhile ago, but when I saw m Petunia Picklebottom bag in Nordstrom, I just new I needed it!
I will be the first one to admit that I don’t really know what it totally necessary in a diaper bag, but at least I will be cute while figuring it out!
Our baby is a Yahoo too
- by Katie
We all know that Josh drinks the purple Kool-Aid over at Yahoo, and of course as he was shopping the company store he found baby onesies that say “My Daddy is a Yahoo”. He fell instantly in love.
So, a few weeks later while I was visiting him at work we decided to go to the store and pick up the beloved onesie. Ten minutes later we walked out with three. I love both my Yahoo’s.
Car seat fun and dog training begins!
- by Katie
After much research and debate we have finally decided on and purchased our carseat. We decided on the Chicco Key Fit carseat. I love it already.
Normally we wouldn’t have purchased anything so early, but we have too very rambunctious dogs who need to be weened and trained into the baby and all the gear that comes with. Besides its good to know that your carseat actually fits in your new car right?
So, the plan is to get a doll to put in the carseat so that the kids (aka Rexy and Belle) can get used to the sight of the seat and what goes in it. I’m not sure how much it will do since the doll clearly doesn’t make any noise, but I’m hoping that by getting used to at least some of the changes slowly they will do better when the baby actually comes.
VERY exciting day!

So today Josh and I decided to look at new cars feeling like we needed more room for a car seat not to mention the impending snow. We ended up getting an amazing deal on a new Volkswagen Tiguan SUV!!!
So as my amazing husband was purchasing my new car for me the baby decided to let me feel it move FOR THE FIRST TIME!!!!!!
It’s such an amazing and strange feeling, but I’m sooooo excited to finally be able feel this little life inside me!
Feeling amazingly blessed today!
Fun Day O’ Research…
- by Katie
Today Josh and I decided to go and take a look around Baby’s R’ Us and see what sort of things we needed/wanted for the baby. We spent a lot of time looking at the car seat we are in love with and the stroller that goes with it. Its by a company called Chicco and we are in love with it. Everything they make seems to have great safety ratings and today we actually played with the items to see how easy they were to use. We also really liked that the colors were gender neutral. We don’t know the sex of the baby as its too early, but even if we did we aren’t a big fan of all pink for girls and all blue for boys. I think the Orange and grey will be awesome for whatever our little monkey turns out to be.
After shopping Josh took me to PF Changs to help cure of the major cravings I have been having…lettuce wraps! They were soooooooooooo tasty! I am already ready for round two next time we are in that part of town. I’m afraid that lettuce wraps is a craving that me not go away!
All in all it was a great day with my amazing husband. I am so lucky that I have a husband who is just as excited as I am!
