Black Friday Shopping?

Today I let the hubs go Black Friday shopping while I stayed in and did laundry, cleaning, etc... maybe this is the beginning of my "nesting" stage???
I'm usually down with the Black Friday shopping deals but decided to lay low this year.
Hubs scored a crazy awesome deal on a new TV- we've been talking about getting a new tv on black friday for a few years and this year we totally bit the bullet and now I have a very fancy 40 inch sony internet flat screen tv....thank you pc richards!!!!


I'm so excited to get the wall mount and it will be a giant space saver for when the little nugget arrives... more room for nursery items!!!

We did do a little research at Babies R Us and Buy Buy Baby for registry items. We haven't registered yet but I loved my experience at BBB. We got a better idea of what we need and they have sooo many choices! We spent about 3 hours at each store trying out strollers and car seats to see which one we liked best. I have a feeling we're going to go with the Chicco car seat but still doing some research on safety ratings.
If we do end up with Chicco, it will match this amazing Chicco Polly Swing in Graphica that I won at the NY Mom's Club Baby Bonanza last week. They picked my raffle number and btw- I never win anything but I'm so excited about this swing. It was just released last month from Chicco and comes with remote control to adjust swing speed, music, and vibrating seat! This is one lucky baby!!!!


Looks so super comfy for little munchkin!!!!
I hope you all had a happy thanksgiving with friends and family and Have a Fab-U Black Friday! Let me know if you found any great deals by you....

Oh baby!

Between the new job, baby stuff, and house hunting, there's been little time for blog posts around here!!!
BUT- We got our first baby gift last week and IT IS THE BEST!
The book called " Oh Baby,The Places You'll Go" and its meant to be read to the baby while its in utero. This book makes both mom-to-be and baby very happy! It's fun to give it to other family members and have them read to the belly. (And yes, there is a little belly goin on!) I love hearing people read tot he baby- and I'm pretty sure they think its fun too!!!
It's turning into a nightly routine with the hubs and I reading to baby. I would love to hear if anyone else has other book recommendations for baby to hear???

If you have a friend or family member who's expecting this little gift is perfect and trust me- you'll be the superstar who bought it!

This weekend is one I've been looking foward to for a long time. My college girlfriends are visiting and they all have little boys under the age of 3. I can't wait to spend time watching the boys play together and catching up after the kids fall asleep!!!

I wonder if ours will be a little boy or a little girl??? We're planning to wait until April to find out!!!!

Hey, quick question, has anyone been to http://www.tvbydirect.com/? Dear husband just got the greatest deal on tv and won't stop raving. Nor can I tear him away from the tv now! It's been fun to watch what everyone dressed up as for Halloween. Did you see what they did on the Today show?! They always come up with such great costumes! I just came up with the cutest idea for a baby girl's Halloween costume next year! We're going as the Green Giant family! Dear husband is obviously the Green Gian and baby will be the little sprouts. They don't make sprout costumes that small, but she'll be the cutest thing. I will be the Green Giant wife (a totally made up character). And I'll have to figure out something cute, comfy, yet sexy for the momma Green Giant wife costume! I'm not really looking forward to green face paint, though! I hear it takes forever to wash off. Argh!
