Every since we found out I was pregnant and that we were for sure going to not find out the gender I have wanted to go shopping for a few girl outfits and a few boy outfits. This way when the baby gets here he/she will have something gender specific to wear. Most places have a return policy of like 30 days with the receipt so I thought that I was going to have to wait until WAY closer to our due date, but I was wrong. I went to Carter's one day to pick a few things for my nieces and they informed me that as long as we had the receipt we can bring it back, no matter how long I had the item. SO, yesterday was the day we decided to go shopping! If we knew the gender I imagine we would have picked out the "going home" outfit together for whatever gender the baby was, but since we do not I thought that it would be fun for Buddy to pick out the boy outfits and me to pick out the girl outfits. So before we went in I gave Buddy a very short list of things that the outfit needed (newborn size and it needed to have pants since the baby will be born in winter). I didn't want to be the over picky person because I really wanted this to be something that HE picked out! So, we went in and went to the opposite sides of the store and I found my two outfits very quickly and I looked over and he was looking at EVERYTHING (it was so precious). So I got my two outfits and went over to see what he had and he had picked out the cutest little outfits. This was a very short and simple shopping trip. So we got in line and he looked over and saw this outfit on the wall that had a little jacket and on the hood of the jacket there were bear ears, so we got out of line and we put back one of his outfits and got that one. Here are the two outfits that he picked out for Braxton:
And here are the outfits for Hayden:
These clothes are SO precious and we are beyond ready for our little one to be here. Buddy makes comments about me hurrying the process up or hurrying up with the baking process all the time, but I Just remind him that I would if I could but I can't. When I went in to get the outfits this morning from the baby's closet, here is what I saw:
Now I know it sounds silly to say that I actually teared up when I opened the closet this morning but I just think it is so cute for those little clothes to be hanging in this big closet. Since the day I found out I was pregnant I have been filled with pure thanksgiving that the Lord has entrusted us with a child. This baby is purely a blessing and I can only imagine what it will be like to see him/her for the first time, here him/her cry for the first time, hold him/her for the first time, FIND OUT IF IT IS A HIM OR HER!!!, etc. It makes me cry to just think about it, haha. Yes I might be a cry baby but they are tears of joy!
