The fun thing that happened this week was that Jill gave us her crib along with a ton of other cute stuff! I took some pictures of Ramin and Chris unloading the crib from the truck and some other random pictures :) So here they are!
Chris and Ramin unloading the crib. It will stay in the garage until we're ready to move the office downstairs and start decorating the nursery :) Isn't it such a nice crib?!? Attached changing table too!
Jill also gave us this box of baby toys AND monitors she used. I'm so glad we don't have to buy new ones. Just thinking of all the different types and ones to choose from, it causes me anxiety just thinking about it. This way they're already chosen for us and best of all, free!
She also gave us ALL of the bedding that went with the crib (well the bumper, blanket and mobile). As you can see it's a jungle theme. I'm still debating whether I'll want to use it all or not. It's such a super nice set that I'll feel bad NOT using it. So the jury is still out on this one :)
Here are some other random things we've got for the baby so far. When we saw Ramin's parents in Vegas a few weeks ago, they packed a few suitcases worth of stuff for us, including all of these awesome children's book! There's an entire set of National Geographic pop-up books AND a really awesome children's encyclopedia - I can't wait to read all of these books to my little one :)
These are the clothes we've amassed thus far (not much and all gender neutral). I found two onsies on Zulily a few months back that are nursery rhyme-themed, so I had to get them :)
Next week's blog entry will most likely be related to what I've pictured below. Yesterday my mom brought over my baby books along with TONS of pictures to go through. There's a lot of pictures to sort through so I'll try working on that throughout the week, but I've already found a TON of my baby pictures. I want to post some of my mine and Ramin's on here so that we'll know what to expect with our little boy/girl.
One of the REALLY cool things I found in one of my baby books (yes my mom made me two hehe), was a hand written letter from her to me. It's funny because it starts out with "Dear Jennifer Rose or Anthony Joseph" - I never knew what I would have been named if I was boy. Anyway the letter was REALLY cool and I'm so glad my mom did that for me. The purpose of this blog is to capture my thoughts of my baby throughout pregnancy of course and then I hope to print it all out into a keepsake book as well. But, I also really like the idea of a handwritten letter - so I'm going to make sure I do that for each trimester. Since next week I'll be 12 weeks, I better write one for the first trimester!
