If Only

We couldn't help ourselves.. We had to purchase something with an R. 

It's like his trademark.

I know, I know.. You are probably still wondering what the heck the R stands for.. 

I just feel like his announcement into this world needs to be a bigger deal.. rather than people knowing who he is already.. we have to make the transition something great. 

If his name is already plastered everywhere, it's not as exciting. 

At least.. This is my recent theory. 

But these are his first booties. 

I think they are rather big for booties, to be honest. 

Booties, to me, mean super tiny and cute... So I am putting them in the wash tonight to see if any shrinkage will happen. 

His feet just seem like they will be much smaller than this.. 

We also meandered our way into Gymboree a couple nights ago, and it really is their fault that we came out with a little snugly outfit for our little one.

Sales are so hard to pass up.

The closer this little guy is getting to coming here, the more I realize we need to get our home in baby order. 

I know babies aren't supposed to require much, but when you have nothing baby to your name, it can be rather overwhelming. 

Even just the basics, like baby soap.. We don't even have baby soap. 

Our baby cannot come into this home without baby soap. 

I honestly don't know what his baths would be like without it..

And diapers. 

And even just blankets.

We literally don't have anything.

I read these blogs of women sewing their bedding, and sewing some blankets.. 

Sewing, sewing, sewing.. 

I just don't have time.

So I am slowly trying to calm myself down. 

I am slowly trying to reassure myself that we will have everything we need by the time he is here.. 

But while I watch our bank account, I am having a hard time not getting anxious about this whole thing. 

Babies might not require much, but everything they do require, requires money.. 

And there we have it, the proof to my theory that every conversation in the entire world can somehow revolve around money. 

I start with booties. 

I end with money. 

Or lack of. 

If only babies could just supply things themselves.

Like.. you could special order things to come along with them.. 

I will take one baby boy, with the crib, car-seat, winter clothes, and that bathing tub thingy... 

Too bad life doesn't work like that.

If only.
