Some Sprout Must Haves

0 comments

So when Dustin & I found out we were going to have another girl, we were definately excited. One of the main reasons why?
 Hand me downs.
We've already got the car seat, the single stroller {we'll definately need a double reguardless}, totes (oh yes, plural. As in 7) of clothes/socks/shoes that are similar season for Sprout, headbands, bows, toys....we got it all. But who wants all hand me downs? OK, so she won't even understand the concept of her older sisters old school stuff until like middle school, but how fun is that? Especially for a woman who luuuurves to shop, like me =)

I give you Exhibit A

Who could seriouslly resist these?!?
Rufflebutts make me happy <3

And I definately couldn't turn away from these. Ohhh the picture ops we'll have!
These are both Carters brand....these people seriouslly need a website. But I got these at JCPenney. And Kohls has a great Carters section as well.

As far as some must haves. There are a couple....for now.

First of all, I will definately be ordering this bundle package for Sprout. I've bought from this Ebay seller four times. Once for myself and then three other times for family members & friends. She does adorable work & you can't beat her prices!
Her store name is Sew*Younique*Boutique and she's great to work with!

Included in this package is a personalized hat, onesie, & bib.
Brooklyn wore her hat home from the hospital...
and we received soooo many compliments on it from the maternity ward nurses. They all loved it!

OK, I had to throw this picture is here because it just cracks me up. She's about 6 or 7 months here and the beanie is just a weeee bit snug...she looks like a lil street tuff ha!

Here's Brookie modeling her onesie. They come in sizes NB-12 mo and we went with newborn so she could wear it right away.
Edited~~>I fibbed. They come all the way to size 24 months.

And here she is wearing her bib. What's great about this bib is it grows with your baby. It's not only for 3 month olds or whatever. In fact, Brooklyn still wears hers....althought it's not very white anymore. More of a sweet potato/green bean/juice stained color, but she still rocks it.

We aren't too sure about a coming home outfit yet {still looking}, but we've got something for Brookie to wear when she meets her little sister for the first time <3

This is from Etsy. I've only bought one thing from this seller but the work was great & shipping was fast. Definately recommended!

I love this bow. This is also from Etsy and was a steal for only $2.50!

For Brooklyns 2 month pictures she wore this darling flower hat. I love how these turned out and I'm wanting the same for Sprout.
Although we still have it, I'd like to get something a lil different but similar for her.
I've ordered from http://www.pinkbowtique.com/ many times and have always been so impressed with them. In fact, with my very first order they threw in an extra pink and white polka dot headband just to say Thanks. These women are so sweet and have the cutest bows, headbands, and hats.

So I was thinking of something like this
or this
 
Whatcha think?!?
I think I like the yellow better....well maybe the lavendar. Or maybe both!


We are almost all set for this little girl.


  • Bedding {check!} And once we get all situated house wise, I'll definately make a post about Sprout's nursery and Brooklyns big girl room!

  • Clothes {ohhh check! We'll go through Brookie's totes here in the spring and other than some socks and onesies I think we'll be good. Well, that is until I get the shopping itch again}

  • Car Seat, Pack N Play, Bassinet, Receiving blankets {check, check, check, check!}

  • Baby sling {we have a Balboa, but I would love a Moby....so semi check!}
 My breast bump will need replacement tubing and we'll need new bottles and nipples. Speaking of nipples, I'll definately be loading up on bra pads and nipple cream! Then we'll get some new binkies, burp cloths, and some iddy biddy diapies....then I think we're good.

Wow. I seriouslly cannot believe tomorrow is March 1st....I can't believe she'll be here 3-4ish months....I can't believe she just kicked me so hard my phone hopped on my belly =)
