If It Keeps Him Off The Dog Bed

\

Tell me this isn't the cutest kids couch? It would match perfectly in our living room and flips open to be a little bed.  Christian needs something to sit on in the living room...I'd give anything to keep him from laying in the dogs bed all the time.  He's obsessed.  He grabs a book or a toy and then lounges in the dog bed. I found it on Amazon (of course), its called the P'Kolino Little Sofa - Sleeper.  

Cute huh?

Window (Internet) Shopping

Happy New Year everyone! As Chris plays Call of Duty I am doing a little, "wouldn't it be nice to buy whatever I wanted for the baby" window shopping. :) I'm not really purchasing any of this super cute stuff, but hey its fun to look, right?

Here's what I'd get:
Gap infant striped railroad jeans. How stinkin cute are these? I seriously think Christian needs them. Don't you? :)

Emu infant booties. These actually stay on little feet and they are just too cute. Love them.

Push present anyone? This is an Amethyst gemstone, February's birthstone...baby due in February...you with me? This ring is obviously amazing and I'm just hoping for something pretty, but its nice to dream huh? :)
Chris would love these for the little guy!This is adorable. A tiny little kelly green sweater...

So cute. Nordstroms has the best stuff. I seriously need to move back in the near vicinity of one....well I'm sure Chris doesn't mind.... ;)

Bathroom Project

On the way back from one of my many doctors appointments today I took care of two things on my "To Do" List for Mr. Christians room and bathroom.

I found the material for the curtains! On crazy sale. $3.99 a yard. It's tangerine with large white polka dots. I had to special order it because they only had 3 yards in the store, but it should be here in 2 weeks! Cutting it close, I know. Since the material is not very light blocking I am going to pick up some black out shades at Home Depot. That room gets crazy sunlight, just ask anyone who has lived in there...am I right Lyndsay? :)

I also came up with an art project for the babies bathroom. Chris did not want me to paint the bathroom, well he probably just didn't want to have to do the painting, haha, so I wanted to make some fun art for the walls. Here's the plan.

I picked up 3 canvas' at Michaels', some ribbon and paint.

I am going to draw a silhoutte of a rhino, an elephant and a hippo, one on each canvas. I'm going to paint the animals brown and paint the rest of the canvas in aqua or orange.
I got that awesome ribbon up there to staple to the back of the canvas so I can hang it on the wall. The plan is to hang all three in the bathroom, and in between each I'm going to hang a hook for Mr. Christians hooded towels.

I also have to come up with some sort of storage in there since there is none...and find a place to hang the giraffe mirror. That and a new bright orange or blue shower curtain and I think we will be in business.

Here is the super cute monkey rug I got at my baby shower. I'm thinking of getting this other rug from target to go by the bathtub:Whata think?
Love, coley

Nicole:1, Chris: 0

I did it folks.

I finally convinced Christopher James Baksa to get my dream stroller. Well "our" dream stroller. (its his dream too, he just doesn't know it yet) No really, he says he loves the stroller, but wanted to "explore our options" (his words, not mine) before "committing" (him again). Engineers. :)

All kidding aside he does have a point, we do have to drive this thing around for years to come. But he was convinced and he said yes. Yes!

In 3 to 5 business days, this will be arriving at my door. I may hug the UPS man.

Let me tell you how amazing this stroller is...you know while I have a somewhat captive audience. See if I could have convinced you.

• Everything that you see in Red snaps off this baby and can be washed in the washing machine. Seriously. Do I even need to go on? I mean have you seen a kids stroller? With the half eaten french fries and the pieces of old chicken nuggets squished down in the corners of the seat? Normally you can't wash those things. They tell you, "For cleaning we recommend a damp towel." A damp towel? what's that gonna do? Children are filthy. Filthy and adorable, but seriously not the cleanest creatures....
• The baby can sleep in the bassinet part (with a stand) at night until its ready to move on to its crib. We plan to move the baby soon...maybe a month or so, so we didn't want to invest in another big piece of furniture, but this stroller comes with the bassinet! Win-win!
• Its for tall people. Really. The baby sits way higher than most strollers so you don't have to bend way over to get the baby out. There is a "floating L bar" or something its called, in the front so you don't ever accidentally kick it. Yah, one for the tall people.
  
• Minimal plastic. Did I mention its my goal to try and I say try because really its gonna be a hard fight, but I would like to try to keep the plastic to a minimum in our house. I want our house to continue to look like adults live here. At least part time.
  
• Its beautiful. Chris didn't really go for this one as worthy of making the Pros list...but hey, I throw it out there for you.
• Shocks and big wheels so you can use it for city use, jogging, walking, ect. No need for two strollers. Its also really light, so it cuts down on the need for an umbrella stroller as well.
  
• It can be switched either way. Facing us, or facing out. Either piece, just snaps on whatever way you like it.
• And one more for you good deal shoppers...we got $100 off on black Friday AND free shipping. I mean come on. That one even made Chris smile :)
  

Did I get you too? :)

Who cares! Its on the way :) haha.

I am SO excited.

Love, coley

Ps: Little baby Benjamin has promised to come over and let me give him a test ride in it as soon as it arrives! Yeah!

Oh today

I am feeling antsy today.

Not sure why. Not sure if its this whole "nesting"thing they speak of. That just seems to be the extreme desire to prepare and decorate (my own personal def.) and I am pretty sure I have that all the time. Pregnant or not.

Today is different though. I feel like I really need to just be cleaning my house. Like mopping the floors and organizing. It was torture coming to work today as all I could think about was going through every drawer in the house and throwing stuff away. Its crazy I tell ya.

I got the bedding last night. Its beautiful bedding. Very soft, very cute. Very bluey green? I don't know. Chris is not thrilled with the shade of bluey green and to be honest its not the exact color of the walls, but then again, I have searched EVERYWHERE and I just don't know if I can bare to begin looking again. I am going to trouble shoot it tonight and tomorrow and figure out if I can add orange ribbon and maybe who knows what else to make it work more with our decor. It really is beautiful bedding and I love it on its own, just got to find a way to incorporate it into the room more. (I'll post pictures once I decide what I'm going to do)

In other news we need a baby name. Well we think we may have one. We like Christian. Or Cristian. We are leaning towards the latter spelling. I just don't know. What do you all in the blogsphere think?

Cristian Bishop Baksa? You like?

Bishop we pulled outta no where and we love it. I just don't know what to name this little guy. Part of me can see myself calling him Cristian. My cute little Cristian. Spelling it without the "h" makes it a little different and hopefully cuts down on people calling him Chris. (no offense but Chris and I don't want to call him Chris, otherwise well we'd just call him Chris..)

Oh here's how I kept my sanity at work today. I did a little "planning" err shopping for things I have been wanting to check off my list.

I so want this:

Its a boppy cover. Its minky black on the back and this damask print on the front. I didn't buy it, but so want to. I'm going to wait until after my showers are over and see if I get my boppy and a cover. Its on Etsy.com if anyone is looking to pretty much make me the happiest girl (ha) out there...hint hint... http://www.etsy.com/shop/mollyannemake

This:

Its a diaper wipes case. I think it will look great in my diaper bag. And for $7 bucks!

This:

This is an awesome burp cloth with black minky material on one side and damask on the front. Its $8. I have been looking for one that I can buy so I have something I can replicate :) Or attempt to. I think this would be the official diaper bag burp cloth as well.

I figure $15 isn't too bad for some much needed fun in my day :)

All my love,

coley

If...its a girl

Oops, can't forget to show the baby girl stuff off!

Here are the things I cannot wait to buy- if its a girl.

Skinny Jeans, Mary Jane tights, and the cutest shirt and skirt.



Oh and this...

Baby Boy

I've done pretty good family and friends.

I haven't bought much for this little baby.

I've held back.

I've tried to be reasonable.

But as soon as we find out, its on.

Here are the things I'll be buying (immediatley) if its a Boy.

I love this. The color is perfect too. We can measure how big our little guy gets.

I am not even going to try and live without these...they look like tiny loafers. Think I can get away with them for a little girl too?
