My Sweet, Selfless Brother

I have so many things I could say right now, but this would end up being the longest blog post known to man, as I'd back waaaay up to when we were kids. I'd tell you how mean and terrible of a big sister I was. How I feel guilty for this every time I think about it. {Honestly.} My little brother has always been a sensitive kind of guy who does wonderful things for others. He has continued this as he has grown into a man. He's genuine, kind and loving. He puts others before himself and aims to please; the adjectives could go on and on. He has spent countless hours here helping Josh work on the attic, just so BGM can have her room ready before she arrives. He does so without complaint. Without requiring much more than a jug of water while he works. Taking time away from his wife and dog to be here. He joins me for lunch when I need a date, then generously picks up the tab despite the invitation being mine. All of this for a sister who has done little to deserve it and may never be able to repay it.



Then.....


Last week he announced that he had bought this:


for BGM. (Remember I talked about it here and here.)

He explained to us that he just wanted her to have it!!
This is what I mean about him. There are so many reasons he should not have done this. But he did.
This Baby Girl is loved beyond what she knows.
Thank you, Uncle Brett. We all love you very much and can't wait for BGM to meet you.....

More 'Things' for Baby and Her Nursery

Just a few things I'm really loving for baby and her room these days...

I love this bag from Gap.


Then there's this loveseat from Ikea. Our girl has a sunporch off of her room and I'd love to have this out there for family cuddles (aka - a place for me to crash when Daddy throws us both out of our bedroom!). The wicker chairs I have out there now just aren't cutting it. I have to find a softer, comfier look.

Office Inspiration

As you know our office is moving to the attic.

My mind has been reeling with ideas as to what I'd like to do.

These photographs are the closest I can come to sharing some of my thoughts with you. They're from Better Homes and Gardens.com.

I'm not necessarily using them for inspiration, so this title is slightly misleading. I'm already inspired by random things I've come up with in my head. I just struggle to explain them to others.

This is simply an attempt to share the general idea. Now where can I find those amazing file cabinets up there????? Love those and desperately need them. Anybody know??


A table, for a desk is a must. I could kick myself because I spotted the perfect table on craigslist one day. I came home and pondered it. Then I went back on there for it and it was nowhere to be found. Ugghhh!

gDiapers

This is an AWESOME concept. Now don't go thinking I given up on these, because I haven't! I still have every intention of using them. I just couldn't wrap my brain around how to schedule getting the starter kit immediately after birth (you may remember the trial run goes for week long segments, so having them delivered ahead of time is not an option). I feel like it would be the last thing I'll have on my mind and since who knows when The Peanut plans to arrive, it's best that we have a back up plan. You know how I feel about the environmental effects of diapers, but I also know that when we travel the Luvaboos may not be our best option. My friend Terra gave me an article from a magazine on gDiapers. She thought I may be interested and all I can say is I LOVE THESE THINGS! I had heard of them before, but I didn't really know anything about them then. They are Flushable, Compostable, Plastic-Free, have Chlorine-Free Absorbent Materials, No Oil-Based Plastics, Eco-Friendly, and are Latex-Free. I added some to our registry already. This way I can bring them with us to the hospital and not have to stress out about how to get the Luvaboos starter kit until we're settled back at home.


My one complaint is that they have sizes small-large and the small accomodates 8-14 lbs. So I'm thinking it will be a tad big on BGM. Oh well.

These photos are of the outer liners. They're called gPants and they are CUTE! I put up my favorites here, but they have some solid browns and blacks and one called Vanilla Bean that I also hope to buy eventually.

Negative For Now

The doctor called and told us that the test came back negative for fetal fibronectin. That is good news. Apparently this will now be closely monitored and tested again in a week or two to stay on top of things. I'm hoping she's decided to be a good girl and enjoy the last ten weeks in her current home. The healthier she is when she moves into ours, the better off we'll all be! Thanks for your thoughts and comments.
