All Day Long

I'm gonna write a little jingle to describe my first semester so far...

Eat eat eat, all day long
Eat eat eat while I sing this song
I eat in the morning and in the afternoon
I eat when it's sunny and when I see the moon
Here I eat, there I eat, everywhere I eat, eat

Yup, that pretty much sums it up. At first, I was eating so much because I was hungry, and I craved certain things. Then I ate so much because the only time I didn't feel nauseous was when I was eating. If I went too long without eating, I would feel SO sick. I am finally getting out of the nausea phase (hopefully) and I hope that my eating habits will be able to go back to normal. I am a little nervous to see my weight when I go back to the Dr. in 3 weeks. I have already gained enough to cover my entire first trimester and a good chunk of my second. Sigh....

Ahhhh pregnancy - quite the adventure I got myself into. And it's just begun! :)

And for a little bit of sunshine, this is where I wish I could be right now. Babymoon maybe? I wish!

Ok, Ok, Ok!!!

I'll finally post. I've intended to post for the last few days, but I've felt so horrible, I just couldn't muster up the energy (or brain power). But, calm before (or just after?) the storm? Either way, I am feeling better...at the moment. What could be responsible for this occurrence? Well, I called my NP to see if there was something I could take for the horrible all-day-long nausea I was experiencing. She suggested I try 50mg of Vitamin B6 2x/day with Unisom. Well, since Unisom is both a sleep aid and expensive, I decided to just give the B6 a whirl. It seems to be helping. Am I cured? Not quite. But I am definitely feeling better. I'll take it! :)

After having such awful nausea for 10 DAYS, I informed DH this will be my 1 and only pregnancy!!!!! We will have to adopt the next 3 ;) Hehe But then I decided, maybe we should take things one child at a time.

My baby bump is beginning to make an appearance. How.Exciting!!! I can't wait for my big round belly! And I just feel like our little bean is nice and healthy in there. That's a good feeling.

After being SO convinced that we were pregnant with a boy, I am starting to toy with the idea that it might be a girl. I'm happy either way. Elated, actually :D

And, by request, here are some of my garage sale finds (the only productive thing I managed to accomplish last weekend) :)

What's Cookin' Good Lookin?

Our little bean is lookin' good :) He/she has a heart rate of 125 bpm, which I guess is good. DH was just elated when the baby popped up on the screen. He was smiling ear to ear! He even got to see the heart beat. It is nice to put a picture to this little bean that is causing me to be so sick! And drum roll please...Making his/her first appearance....little bean Borntrager!!!




I decided to stay home and rest this weekend instead of volunteering in Wisconsin. The nausea seems to have settled a little bit, at times. Other times it is pretty intense (like when I decide eating Wendy's would be a good idea). I got a Sea Band from Target that is supposed to help with the nausea. It seems to be helping a little bit.

I'm thinking about going to the Peapods sidewalk sale tomorrow...up to 75% of baby items!?!!?! That's my kind of day of R&R :)

Next hurdle, attempting to eat tacos. We'll see.

Poop - Poop on a stick

That is how I am feeling! Like poop-on-a-stick! The constant nausea all day is really starting to get to me. At this point I am almost wondering if it would just be better to throw up. As much as I hate it, I think I would prefer throwing up a couple times a day and being done with it rather than have nausea all day long. I know this is really common, but it doesn't make it any easier. I'm almost wondering if I should ask my Nurse Practitioner (NP) for some nausea meds. The Queasy Drops aren't seeming to help :( I am thinking about getting one of those sea-sickness bands and seeing if that will help. I'd try anything at this point.

The good news is, all this sickness means our little bean is happy and growing in my belly :) I'm 7 weeks now...Here is a picture of what our little bean looks like at this point (approximately):

It has little arms and little legs! How. Cute! Can you imagine my little baby swimming around in there?!?! Hehehe

We get to hear the heart beat tomorrow at our first ultrasound! :) Yippppeeee!

I am supposed to be volunteering at a dental clinic all weekend in Wisconsin this weekend, but if this nausea doesn't subside a little bit, I just don't know how helpful I will be...I need to decide soooooooon...

Peapods (St. Paul) is having their sidewalk sale this weekend with tons of baby items majorly on sale!!!! The only problem, I am supposed to be in Wisconsin! Hmmmmm....Anyone want to scope it out for me? ;)

And finally, some ADORABLE baby clothes :)

Baby Books, Galore!

As a break from my 7 hour day of studying, I thought I would take full advantage of the children's book sale they had going on at Border's :) I got so many cute books! I can't wait to put them in the nursery come August...although, I should probably find a book shelf to put them on. I guess I better do another round of garage sales ;)



I was thinking earlier about what I should leave for people to get us for a baby shower. I don't want to leave any big stuff really, because I don't want people to spend a lot of money on us. So, I figured I would suggest some of my bargain stores:
1. TJ Max
2. Nordstrom Rack
3. Garage sales
4. Mode (Maple Grove)
5. Etsy shops
6. Stores that are having big sales (Like Gymboree and BabiesRUs)

That's all I can think of right now...but I am sure I will think of more eventually :)

I've been feeling quite pregnant lately. Food aversions, nausea (luckily no vomiting yet *knock on wood*), heightened sense of smell, "growing pains," fatigue, and varying moods. Oh yeah, and we can't forget the ever-growing baby belly :) I was hoping the nausea was going to be short lived, but it seems to want to stick around for a while. It happens to want to accompany me ALL day. Lovely. I keep trying to remind myself that it is a good thing and it means that our little bean is nice and happy in there...even is mama isn't! I am getting better at dealing with it. With the nausea comes strong food aversions. They aren't the same things throughout the day. At times I can't even imagine eating sweets, and other times they sound pretty good. I don't crave sweets like a crave salty foods though. I haven't had any strong cravings yet, which I am thankful for. Although, I might develop a love for dill pickles. I had 2 at Panera today (I asked the nice lady at the register for a couple) and they were ridiculously delicious! Yuuuuummmmm! The other things that have been helping are my organic Queasy Drops. The peppermint ones are delicious!

As for the "growing pains," I thought something might be wrong... I get aching pains in my lower right side/abdomen when I have to pee. Then I got sharp pains on my right side when I stood up too fast today. I've had pulling and cramps on my right side since before I knew I was pregnant, but the fact that it is persisting made me a little worried. I read about round ligament pain (on google) and it seemed to fit the bill. All it is is stretching and pulling of the ligaments that support my rapidly growing uterus. So I am gonna go with that for now and try not to worry about it. My first ultrasound is rapidly approaching, so I guess we'll find out on Wednesday how things are going in there!

My mood has been a little up and down the last few day, which is typical for this week of this week in pregnancy (so I read). I'm just hoping the anxiousness goes away soon. Haha I'm beginning to think I'm about ready for the first trimester to be over :-D But I am sooooo glad little bean is growing in there!!

I got DH a little something for father's day! I can't write what it is because sometimes he gets a little nosy and reads my blog :-O But I hope he feels appreciated. I just know he is going to be a fabulous daddy!

I went to yoga this morning at Lululemon in Minneapolis (Free yoga - Saturdays at 9:30am). I forgot how much I love yoga...but I was definitely reminded how long it has been since I've done it! I was sooooooooo no flexible. It still felt good though! I plan on doing the new prenatal yoga DVD I just bought from Target. I hope it is a good one!!!!

Happy Father's Day to all the Papas!!!

Baby Bump

More like baby whale! I feel like everything is growing at an exponential rate! EVERYTHING! My butt barely fits in my scrub pants anymore, I highly doubt I can button any of my jeans anymore (I haven't worn them in a couple of days), I look down and I see belly. This is not right, right??? I'm only 7 weeks (almost). So, what to do, what to do? I have been swimming the past couple of days because it calms my morning (more like all day) sickness a little bit. It just seems like I am growing by the day. DH said it is normal, and that is what my body is trained to do...we'll see.

I went to the VS semi-annual sale yesterday to get a bra that actually fits (again, the exponential growing), but to no avail. I got a size up, only to get home and it be too small. Grrrr! DH was so sweet and offered to go with me to VS to get a fitting and their suggestions for a preggers like me. :)

I also made a pit stop at Gymboree - they were also having their semi-annual sale :) I got a onsie and a long-sleeve t-shirt for $5.00 total. I love a great deal!





I'm really hoping the morning sickness subsides...another long day of school tomorrow. Also, I am gonna need some beach time, ASAP! What could be cuter than a big, tan, preggers belly?!?!?! Hmmmmm....

Morning Sickness

Um...Ick! I feel like if I move too fast, I might lose my Panera Broccoli Cheddar soup. NOT a good feeling. On top of that, I just slept for 3 hours and it didn't help one bit! I really hope this is just a little bug and it isn't morning sickness! I don't know if I've mentioned this before, but I HATE throwing up! I hate the feeling of having to throw up (aka nausea), I even hate the thought of throwing up. This is going to need to be temporary!

Other than that, my little bean seems to be pretty happy in there :) It has a heart beat (100-160 bpm, to be exact)! Here's a little visual of what my little bean looks like at 6 weeks (but he/she is probably MUCH cuter!).

I can't wait to see my little bean on the ultrasound on Wednesday!!!! This will put any idea of twins to rest. PLUS, I read that DHs history of twins in his family has little to no influence on whether we will have twins. And I don't have much history of twins in my family. So it's not twins. I've decided.

It is the Victoria's Secret semi-annual sale!!! I think I will be walking over there when I get done with this. DH stole the car today to fix it. A walk would probably do me good. But the sale couldn't come at a better time. I am gonna have to buy bras a cup size up so I have something my growing chest can fit into! ;)

Prenatal Update!

Reflecting on yesterday's appointment... The appointment went so well, except for the whole needle thing :-\ I Guess I am gonna HAVE to get used to it. DH held my hand...I don’t know if that made it better or just made me be more of a baby. Hehe My nurse practitioner said the early ultrasound is because I got pregnant so soon after going off birth control and they want to see how far along I actually am. I’m glad I don’t have to wait until 12 weeks though! :) I’ll even get to see the heart beat! Then the next appointment, we’ll get to hear the heart beat! Yippeeee!!!

I am being more aware of what I am eating lately (since I realized I gained 8 lbs already –ick!). I have been trying really hard to not give into my salt cravings (which I think are contributing to water retention??). It can be hard when I pass by Arbys and Burger King every day and live by Wendy’s. I normally don’t even think about going those places! It would be nice to bring snacks that are good for me to school, but it gets hard to keep fruit and stuff with me when I there all day with no access to a fridge. But I am almost done with the busy part of the semester :)

I am so excited about doing cloth diapering! I already prepped the prefolds we bought at Peapods. They are much softer now! I got the GoGo Natural diaper inserts today in the mail and the other diapers should be trickling in!!! Yay! I’m not sure how difficult it will be, but the nice thing is, we won’t have anything to compare it to really, since we don’t change too many disposable diapers :) From what I’ve read, they shouldn’t be too much harder. I think it will just take a little practice. Even DH is reading up on all the ins-and-outs of cloth diapering ;)

Speaking of DH, He has been at work all day (starting at 6am) and it's his birthday!!! :( I feel bad for him! We were supposed to go to bible study tonight but a belt on the car broke this afternoon while I brought him is birthday burrito (hehe). So....we aren’t able to go because he has to stay and fix the car. Hopefully we will be able to do something nice for his birthday? Just kidding!! He just got home so we can go!!! :) K. Bye. :D

Yikes!

At my first prenatal appointment I learned:
1. I've gained 8 LBS already! - YIKES!
2. My NP told me I should gain between 25-30 lbs...over the next 7.5 months. At this rate, I'm gonna be as big as a house.
3. I can eat tuna 2x/week.
4. I am supposedly due February 8th.
5. That due date could change when they take a look at the ULTRASOUND next week!! :)
6. I have to go to the doctor every month, every other week and then every week the closer I get to full term.
7. I am not allowed to travel in a car for more than an hour once I reach 35 weeks...this means visiting family in IL for Christmas is most likely a no-no.
8. Morning sickness is supposed to be a good thing... good or not, I HATE PUKING!!!
9. We don't find out the sex of the baby until 20 weeks. September 20th. That is so far from now!
10. I will be delivered by whatever on-call OB/GYN that is at the hospital at the time. That is kind of interesting, but I don't think I'll be that picky anyways. They just need to get it out, safely, and NO C-SECTION. Absolutely not!

I haven't even read through all the reading material yet.
OH YEAH, I almost forgot! They took my blood and it HURT!!!! OUCH! DH tried to distract me, but it didn't work. They are testing for STDs, other diseases and my Rh status. I wonder when I get my results?

In other news (good?), I am outgrowing my bras already. That was fast. I really hope I don't keep growing at the rate I'm going...except my belly of course ;)

My cloth diapers were are all shipped and they should start rolling in this week!!! I can't wait! :) I bought kind of a lot of them (I lost track of how many exactly), but I think I will need a lot of them. Plus, I got them for such good deals!

DH's birthday tomorrow - still have no idea what I am going to do for him. Sigh!

Ok, that's all I have for now - I have to study for exams and quizzes (5 total in the next week and a half). AND I'm watching the Bachelorette ;) Hehehe

Something SOOOO cute to leave you with (www.zulily.com):

Cloth Diapering With DH :)

DH went with me to look at cloth diapers today at Peapods in St. Paul (LOVE that store!!). He was a little (lot?) overwhelmed by it all, but overall, he was a good sport about it! We got some organic non-bleached cotton prefolds, some disposable inserts, prefold clips, and a yellow polk-a-dot cover (cute!). I'm so excited to start my cloth diaper stash! I love the idea of cloth diapering and I hope DH and I both like it as much when the baby gets here! :)

So far, I bought 4 Smartipants, 2 gDiapers, and one Happy Heiny's diaper on the Diaper Swap board @Baby Center. I cannot WAIT to get them!!!







Annnnnd, I also bought some GoGo Natural cloth diaper inserts :)



First doctor's appointment is Monday!!! I hope my little bean is doing well. I feel really good lately. Only minor pregnancy sympotoms...over emotional, weird food habits, and irritability. Oh, and bloating. I feel my little bump forming already!!! I can't wait til my belly looks like a big 'ol watermelon!

I know it is a little early, but I am already registered at:
www.Target.com (of course)
www.BabiesRUs.com
www.BabyonGrand.com

On another subject...DH's birthday is on Tuesday and I have NO IDEA what to do for him. Hmmmmmm. I better think of something quick. Also, it is Father's Day next Sunday. I haven't even thought about what we are going to do for my dad, FIL, and my new daddy DH! Yikes! I've got a lot of work to do!

Diaper Shopping!

This sounds a little crazy, but I had my first experience diaper shopping today at Pea Pod in Downtown St. Paul today. It was fabulous!!! We are planning on cloth diapering and the ones I liked the best were the Fuzzi Bunz. They were so soft!!!!



They are pretty expensive if you buy them for full price, but I have gone on a deal hunt, hoping to get them for fairly cheap. I found a couple of deals on the local craigslist and just joined the diaper swap on Baby Center. I'm so excited to get our first cloth diapers! I am also leaning toward getting prefolds. They seem to be the cheapest option, and they seem to be pretty easy too!!


(SabBuyNY @ Etsy)

We told our Bible study that we are pregnant last night! We are so thankful for their support and prayers. They are a wonderful group of people - We just love being around them!!!

Went to Lake Calhoun with MIL (mother-in-law), SIL and the girls she nannys, and Mike's cousin Leah (who is 8 months pregnant). We were hoping for a warm sunny day. Nope! Cold and cloudy and windy...so we left and went baby shopping :) MIL said FIL is telling everyone that he is going to be a grandpa (hahaha). They aren't supposed to tell anyone until at least our first Dr. appointment. I can't be mad though - I'm glad to see him so excited.

Well, it was nice to have the day off, but back to school (8AM-5PM) tomorrow, and then I have to work at the tanning salon on Friday - ick!!!!

Shopping find of the day (@Zulily.com):

Cloth Diapering

I gotta record what I find about cloth diapering so I don't forget! I really want to try it! I think it could save a lot of money and it can't be that hard, right???

Hungry!!! Nom, Nom, Nom!

Six days until my first pre-natal appointment! Yay! I have no idea what to expect. I think they are probably going to want to poke me with needles. Lots of needles. Um, ew! I am hoping they will tell me something exciting or maybe even and ultrasound?!?!? Doubt it. Haha

Yesterday I felt icky. Icky icky icky! I thought the morning sickness was trying to start - thank goodness I felt just fine today (so far - knock on wood). My pregnancy symptoms today: Eating and peeing every hour. Yikes! I am trying to do what "What to Expect: Eating Well Your Expecting" says to do and eat small healthy meals...but I get so hungry!!! I am also craving salty, savory food. So weird for me. I am normally in LOVE with sweets (chocolate - yyuuummmm!!!), but not lately.



So far, I am thinking it is going to be a boy. Just a hunch. I don't have any idea what it would be like to have either, but I can't imagine having a girl first. I would be happy with either. I honestly don't have a preference. I am thinking I will find super cute clothes for either sex ;)

Bible study tonight - we're spilling the beans :) I'm excited to tell everyone and get their support.

Beach tomorrow! WHOLE day off! I'm looking forward to my walk around Lake Calhoun...after working on my tan - with my big 'ol bloated baby belly sticking out. :D

I hear for the first little while, baby is always in these little gowns...so add it to the wish list (http://www.zulily.com):


Petit Lem

Mooncakes

Blah! Bloat Enough To Float

Creative title? I thought so :)

I felt great most of the day! I had 2 classes this morning and then went for a 3 mile walk around Lake Calhoun. It was beautiful out today! I love going to Lake Calhoun - The lake is beautiful, there are so many people to watch, so many babies and puppies to smile at. I just love it!



I feel like you can already tell I am pregnant by looking at my belly. I know it is early, but I feel like the bloat is making me look huge!!!! Haha I mean, the sooner I get a preggers belly, the better, but I don't want it to look like I just gained wait. After I went grocery shopping and hauled it all upstairs and put it all away, I was so tired and that's when the 'blah' feeling started. I have a tummy ache, a headache, my eyes hurt and itch, and I am oh-so-tired.

I was really looking forward to relaxing and watching the Bachelorette hoping I would start to feel better...Instead, SIL had a great idea to go to Olive Garden. I think it might do the trick! Either that or make me puke. I guess we'll find out.

I'll write more about how the family surprise went :)

Family Day - Surprise!!!

Today is the day the family is coming over! I am so excited!!!! They have no idea what they are in for!!!! :) Yay! We picked up the cake at Byerly's on our way home from church. It is so cute!



I just hope it doesn't rain on our 'parade' today. We are gonna play volleyball and then I wanted to BBQ outside because a) It is better for pictures b) There are going to be a lot of people here and I think it would be much nicer to hang out outside. I even set up the balloons outside already! :) :)

I feel pretty good today. I have noticed that I am much less patient with DH when he isn't being a sweety-pie. Haha. The belly aching has been pretty good too. I just got a pretty strong ache, but it was really the first one of the day. :)

We found a perfect townhouse in Plymouth today! We went to take a look at it - 1400sqft, 2 BR 2 BA, end unit, 2 car garage, $995/mo. Perfect.



And to end to post...a little something extra to add to my wish list :) (By: PeaceLoveNPolkaDots @ Etsy)

Shop-a-holic :)

I made it through the baby shower without even THINKING about telling :) Yay me! For most of the baby shower I didn't even think about the fact that I am pregnant.

I took the next 3 hours after the shower shopping! I needed to find an outfit to wear tomorrow. I decided on yellow! I love yellow! I also bought some really cute gray maternity pants. I think I am going to wear them tomorrow. You cant really tell they are maternity, unless you look at the elastic band. Hehehe But even still, they don't scream 'maternity pants!' I spent a whopping $70.00 today, but definitely got some goooood stuff!

I am still having cramping on my right side. I really hope everything is okay. I feel like it should be and that the cramping is normal, but it still makes me a little nervous. I wish my first Dr appointment was sooner than June 14th. I just want to know everything is okay.

On a brighter note - I found the cutest little baby outfit at Zulily.com:

One More TIme!

There it is...in all of its pink beauty. Reasons I took two tests:
1. Word on the street is that blue die tests aren't so good...False Positives. (That would suck!)
2. I wanted to see the positive again to make it more real - and that is one very positive double pink line!

Yayayayayay!!!!

I don't think it has really quite hit us yet. I think DH and I both have our moments where we are like, "whoa! This is actually real!" I like those moments. We have told several people so far. My good friend from school, my SIL, my aunt-in-law, a guy at Mike's work, the cake decorator at Byerly's my best friend from High School, my old roommate from college and the barrista at Caribou. The big announcement will be Sunday! We are having DH's family and my family (including all the siblings) over for our weekly volleyball and BBQ. This going to be the first week everyone can come! I am way excited!!! My aunt-in-law is going to be there to take pictures of the announcement :) I got a cake that says, "Congratulations! You're going to be a: Grandma, Grandpa, Aunt, Uncle!" And balloons...It isn't a party until you have balloons.

The only "symptoms" I have so far are cramping/twinges in my right side (mostly) and spurts of b**** come out once and a while. Other than that, I feel great!! I can tell I will be one pregnant woman not to be messed with! Hehehe

Cousin's baby shower today! I don't know what I am going to wear... I think I will hit up some shopping on my way ;)

POSITIVE - Big FAT Positive!!!!

Yep - There it is! Plain as day!!!!!!! I was going crazy with all this pulling and cramping and tugging going on inside me...I decided to test! I know, I know, I was going to wait until Sunday. But I took the plunge and it was POSITIVE! Can you believe it?? I can't! Ya know how I had all those ideas of how to tell DH and family...yeah, that all went out the door! I can't wait. Not telling DH lasted, ohhhh, about 2 seconds. Hehehe! We are telling the family this Sunday when everyone comes here for a BBQ. I obviously won't be able to get the announcements I posted earlier, so I will have to find something from Target :) I am sooooo beyond excited! I just pray that everything is going good in there and little one is healthy so far!

The Cutest Darn Thing!

Ok, I know I already wrote today, but I was at school and rushed and now I have more to say :)

First of all, I received the baby shower gift from BabyCakesAndDecor (Etsy) - the cutest darn thing I have ever EVER ever seen!!! She's gonna love it!!!! The box was decorated with pink and ribbon and cuteness all over! The little washcloth candies looked good enough to eat and the baby blankie cupcake was to die for!! LOVE LOVE LOVE!!! Not to mention, she sent along a $15.00 gift card for her shop - WHAT a fabulous surprise! I think I am going to use it to buy baby announcements (IF I EVER get pregnant)!





And I suppose, since we are on the subject, I am going to tell DH by wrapping up a box of baby converse sneakers with my BFP preg test for his birthday (June 15th). Again, that is if I am actually pg this month.



As for acutally feeling like AF is going to stay away, I was all excited that she didn't show yet today, but now, for some reason, I feel like she is just waiting to sneak-attack me! I really hope not. For a second there, I was thinking I would for sure test tomorrow, but now I am leaning more toward testing on Sunday...back to where I started. OH THE DILEMMA!!! Hehehe :)

Impatience plauges me :)

I was set on it. I was set on testing on Sunday. But after reading my(H)EDD (hopeful estimated due date) board on Baby Center, I don't know if I can wait that long. Everyone with the same EDD as me already has their BFP!!! I'm the only one left without one. I think it was meant to be. I think I NEED a BFP. Yes, NEED. AF was supposed to be here today, but nothing yet. I don't feel like AF is coming...Well at least from my experience the last 8 years of my life. I have light cramping on and off still today. Whatever that means.

So, test tomorrow???? Argh! I hate this decision!!! The last thing I want is a BFN! Anything but a BFN! Maybe I will wait until Sunday. Just NOT Saturday, I decided.

In other news, DH asked me on a date for tomorrow! :) He hasn't done that in a while (and frankly has been kind of crabby lately). Now that question is, will he actually plan something or will he ask me what I want to do come tomorrow. We will see, maybe he'll surprise me!

If I ever get preggers, and it is a girl, I will definitely have to get this (By: Karenisa @ Etsy)

Crappy...I mean, Crampy

Um...weird. First, I'll list my recent "symptoms." Irritability, tiredness, cramps/tugging, eating everything in sight. Most notable is the most irritating one, cramps! Knowing AF is due tomorrow, this seems normal, right? Well, I never (NEVER) get these symptoms before AF. So...what is the deal???? AF is due tomorrow. Judging from last cycle, my cycles are 32 days long. So, tomorrow is the day. I'm not testing tomorrow though (14 DPO). I would much rather get AF then test and see a negative pregnancy test starring back at me. So. Saturday is the day. Well, depending my mood I suppose. DH's cousin's baby shower might be a little too much to handle after a BFN. Or, on the flip side, it would be hard to hide my excitement if I got a BFP. It is her day, not mine. So, I am guessing it will be Sunday. Or Friday. If I can't hold off that long. 15 DPO should be late enough to detect pregnancy hormone, right?

I am super excited about the gift me and SIL got DH's cousin for her shower! This Etsy shop, BabyCakesAndDecor, has the Greatest stuff!!!
