Fabulous time, fabulous friends, fabulous finds

We had a great time this weekend with our friends Matt and Kerry and their beautiful daughters. Lots of laughs, beer and good times were had by all. Okay beer was just consumed by the adults. They generously let us borrow some things for Peanut too which was well fabulous. We now have a bouncy seat and an exersaucer for her. We don't know if she will like either of these things so it was nice to not have to buy them since she may only use them for a few short months if at all. They also lent us some great toys and a floor gym. They are great friends for sure and we can't wait to hang out with them again.

We went to a baby resale while we were there too. Okay, us girls went to a baby resale. I found some great clothes for Peanut. Some she will have to grow into but others should fit this summer. Most of the clothes that I got were brand new or like new. Some still had the original store tags on them and they were all from higher end baby clothes stores like Baby Gap, Gymboree, Hanna Anderson, etc.

This first picture is hands down the cutest baby jeans I have ever seen. They have seahorses on them and a matching hat and it was brand new with store tags for $10 for all 3 pieces.

Peanut will have to grow into these overalls but they were super cute so maybe this fall and who can resist a pink plaid dress.

Peanut will have to grow into the pink dress on the right but it was like new and $7. And the other outfit has these cute little dogs on it and she should be able to wear it soon. It is Gymboree and was brand new with store tags. I couldn't believe it. New it was like $32 and I got it for $12.

Again two adorable like new dresses that I just couldn't resist.

This was a brand new Gymboree dress that may fit Peanut now and may be her Embassy appointment dress or her homecoming dress, I can't decide. It was brand new with store tags and only $15.

This Hanna Anderson dress should also fit Peanut relatively soon so it may be be making the trip with us as well.

I had no idea that I could find such great stuff for Peanut. She had a ton of clothes before this weekend but it was lots of shorts, pants and onesies and just a few dresses or actual outfits so it was nice to find some things to spice up her wardrobe a little.

All in all we had a fabulous weekend and came home with lots of great stuff for Peanut. Only 11 more days (hopefully) until Peanut can make her debut in public. Warning you all in advance, she is extremely adorable!

How did this happen???

I have spent the day organizing and washing baby clothes. Whew....How in the world is the dresser full already??? I am out of room.

I have lots of 3-6 month stuff, lots of 6-9 month stuff and not enough 0-3 month which is what size little peanut is wearing right now. I have TONS of adorable little baby socks, towels and wash clothes.

Now we have a closet which is empty except for the crib bumper which I won't put on her crib and two adorable swimsuits that are a little too big for her right now. How exactly do you hang up baby clothes?? I know, new mom question. Do they make hangers for baby clothes? I hate the hangers that baby clothes come on but am I just supposed to use those?

Peanut isn't even home yet and she has a full wardrobe of clothes. Well she definitely needs some more pajamas but she has more pairs of pants than I do and by a lot.

I got a great gift in the mail from a dear friend who sent me these adorable fuzzy pajamas along with some other baby clothes. I also have received hair clips from yet another dear friend that are just too cute for words.

If I ever figure out how you hang up baby clothes, my budget is in trouble for sure. But peanut will be pretty darn cute so that's worth it right???

Signs...

I had to post this today because it was just too coincidental not to.

I have subscribed to Adoptive Families magazine for over a year now. In that time I think I can count on both hands how many pictures of babies from Ethiopia have been in the magazine and their have been none on the cover. That is until today...

We got our latest magazine and their is the cutest picture of a 7 month old baby girl adopted from Ethiopia and on the back cover there is an adorable 12 month old adopted from Ethiopia.

Okay I swear it gets better. We have picked out a name for our baby girl and part of her name matches the name of the little girl on the cover. The cover is also pink.

Maybe I am reading way too much into this but I couldn't help myself. Add this to the fact that I was wearing my pink AHOPE shirt the day we got the call for peanut... Somehow these little things make sense to me. I usually don't believe in signs of things to come but all of this was just to much to pass up.

Pictures will be forth coming of all the adorable things we bought for peanut this weekend. She will be one well dressed little girl :)
