Some things old & Some things new

I am getting so excited as we get closer to baby BAL making his/her arrival! When I started thinking about how I am 36 weeks on Wednesday, I just got so excited imagining baby BAL being right here at home with me and watching him/her grow in our little house for a few months. [Side note if you're new to my blog: my original post mentioned us moving to DFW in a "few months"...9 months later we're still here, but God is providing and we are even more confident that we will be in the DFW area soon!] I started out by taking just a few pictures of a few things that were mine that my mom gave me for the baby and a few things that have been bought new for the baby and then I just got picture happy and decided to take pictures of things I could think of right off the top of my head that I just can't wait to share with baby BAL.

So, without further ado, enjoy the picture collection of things that I'm super duper excited to see baby BAL use or things I'm super duper excited to share with baby BAL :-)

My pawpaw (Mom's stepdad) gave this to me when I was in the NICU...he was a man of few words at times, but his actions spoke so loudly of love.

My lovey bunny! It has satin around the edges, but it's not so soft anymore.

I loved the satin around this little lion's head so much that my mom had to take it away from me at night because all night she could hear the rattle shaking because I was feeling all the soft part :-)

NEW Giraffe Rattle! Gift from Grandma Kaki

There's a sweet little cap that is white with the BU logo on it, also. Also, Grandma Kaki bought baby BAL an A&M Swaddling blanket & cap that is already packed for the hospital. We have more Aggie stuff and Baylor stuff, but when is enough??

This is the first thing I made for baby BAL - a SUPER soft tag blanket. Perfect size for a infant carrier blanket or a lovey :-)

Granny & Grandpa bought this BEAUTIFUL glider cradle to go next to our bed. The front railing can be removed to transform to a gliding bench when we don't need it for a cradle! 

Some of these books are old and some are new...all of them I can't wait to read over and over again to baby BAL...I often wonder which ones will be his/her favorites :-)

There are many many more things that I'm excited about, but that would just mean I take & upload about 300 pictures and I just can't do that, so I chose some of the things I look at often that remind me of how excited I am! 

Hope you enjoyed the little tour of baby items!
