A couple weeks ago I was plotting my husband's transformation to daddy of (almost) two; warding off neigh-sayers and men's rights groups (I know... Who knew?) who thought I was forcing, and torturing my poor husband into a horrible situation; and here I am in my first two-week-wait since Lil' J. My how things change fast. Not only that but two different people wrote me today saying my approach worked on their husbands! Mens Right's beware. Us women are on to something here. Forget "forgetting" to take our birth control. Whatdoyaknow, consistent open conversations can be
Spinning in her Carter's Woven Dress. |
This time is NOTHING like last time. There's no temperature taking, pill popping, sex-natzing, stressing, or tracking. I'm going to enjoy being Lil' J's mommy and focus on her, and when it happens, it happens. At least now it CAN happen. (I say all of this now, but check in again in a few months.)
Sadly, I haven't had much time yet this summer to make sun-suits and dresses for Lil' J, but I hope to pick it up soon. In the meantime, I had a mini-spree on Diapers.com (they sell clothes now!) and got a few dresses and some swim shoes. They have brands like Tea Collection, Carters, and OshKosh.It's easy to brows their selection because of all the sorting options plus there's free 2 days shipping on orders over $49. It was just hard to decide what to get. Aside from the two pictured, I got another dress that should be here tomorrow. Now I have an excuse to expand Lil' J's wardrobe while stocking up on more cloth diaper stuff.
I already love coordinating with Lil' J myself (I know, I'm a big dork), so I can't wait to match TWO kiddos.
I don't have a preference for a boy or girl next time around and probably won't try to find out before he/she is born.
I'm getting ahead of myself. But that's what I do. In fact, I've already created some summer looks for brother/sister and sister/sister pairs.
Summer Breeze |
Boyz Just Wanna Have Fun |
Summer Rock |
Sundress Galore |
All of these things are from Diapers.com I made these clothing looks. Impressive right? ... Well, I thought so until I saw some of the others people had created. I used the Polyvore app (you can find it here) which is fun for sparking wardrobe inspiration. I think it's my new favorite hobby.
Let me know which one you like best in the comments and you'll be entered to win a $100 gift card to Diapers.com. Use the Rafflecopter widget below to enter.

ReplyDeleteLoooove the sundresses! I'm weak for all this girl stuff.
ReplyDeleteHard to choose. My favorite is the sundress set..but that wouldn't be fair my my boy, so I am going to say summer breeze!
ReplyDeleteWell, since I have one of each, I love all the collections. I can certainly see some stuff that I'd like to get for JJ and I'm really feeling the sundresses for Moo if I could find similar ones in her size.
ReplyDeleteWell, since I have a boy and a girl, I prefer the first collection... Although, they are all so cute
ReplyDeleteLove the sundresses!!
ReplyDeleteI love the sundresses! My 3 month old daughter is finally outgrowing all her newborn layette and wearing her summer dresses. I'm kind of addicted to dressing her up:).
ReplyDeletethe sundresses and shoes!!! I wore saltwater sandals when I was a girl--my little lady needs some!!
ReplyDeleteI love the Summer Breeze one. My kiddos would look super adorable in those clothes.
ReplyDeleteCloths make babies more cute and adorable as well as they save them for bad environment so parents should buy non allergic and harmless fabric.

ReplyDeleteoh I love the Summer Breeze because I have both boys and a girl but I also love the Sundresses one!!
ReplyDeleteOn a separate note I was wondering if you are still cloth diapering Lil J? I am really thinking of switching over with my 20 month old daughter and hopefully have it help us with getting her potty trained by 2 and then also to get a stash growing for when #4 comes hopefully in the not to distant future so that we can go full cloth with all of our future babies. Would you still recommend the Sprout Change or do you have other brands you love more? Thanks!!
Adore the sundresses! But of course!
ReplyDeleteI love the sundresses, too! But I have a little boy (so far), so I'll pick that cute anchor tee.
ReplyDeleteLove the sundress galore!
ReplyDeleteI love the Sundress Galore! So many bright summery colors, just my style!
ReplyDeleteI have a son, so I like the Boyz collection. :-)
ReplyDeleteI have no choice but to love the dresses. I have no boys!
ReplyDeleteI have boys, but I'm loving those sun dresses, especially that little orange number. Oh to have one more... But sadly, your 30day method would never work on my dh b/c he is dead set against another baby and even bringing up the topic makes him angry.
ReplyDeleteThe sundresses are super duper cute.

ReplyDeleteThe last look is definitely my favorite. I love the little shoes you found to go with the dresses.
ReplyDeleteI love the look of little kids coordinating and even matching sometimes. Plus, I feel like you have to hurry up and do it while they're little and don't give you grief about being a "dork"
Boys just want to have fun :)
