Yep, we're cooking up a little boy! We don't have a lot to share yet, but there are lots of changes going on around our house. We've been talking about names and deciding on a theme for the nursery. He is due on February 8th, 2010, suddenly that seems so soon!
Since we have so many generous friends and family, as well as a few showers coming up, we thought we'd share some of the things that we are looking for. We absolutely love gifts that are 'reuses', something shared from your own stash of kid's stuff and so on. It reminds us just how many of you have been down this path before!
We've provided links to places where many of these items can be purchased online. For those without links, Target, Babies'R'Us and most other retailers will have the item.
And of course, volunteer time to work on nursery painting & moving is always priceless.
