What's Missing *Clothing*

Clothing


1 pair of Preemie Pajama's to make 8
1 Preemie~NB summer outfit/ 1 preemie~NB winter outfit (with blankets)

1-2 (o-3 months) Two piece outfits (August is an inbetween month weather wise here so I will need some for the hot weathered days and the cooler weather days. (ct 4 Summer 2 winter)

I need maybe five more newborn summer rompers but I think PJ's will be my way to go unless its 100 degree's plus

1 Blanket sleeper

I need newborn preemie beanies for the hospital time

Socks for everything. Preemie/Newborn & 0-3 size

3 bibs

I guess I need preemie and newborn because I don't see me using this past when the Belly Button heals

Home from the Hospital Keepsake Outfit and Maybe another one for pictures (newborn/Preemie sizes)

A light preemie/newborn jacket would be good in a blue so it matches everything I have a green one. (Children's Place)

What I DO have

So Rick had another dental appointment up at Ft Campbell. The shopping up in Clarksville was great. Watch out I lived on the 50 cent rack. That was on Friday. I admit planes, camo, Puppies, frogs and now Lions are my weakness since he is probably going to be born a leo lol.
Saturday I met Betty down in Nashville. She got to see the damage I can do in Children's Place. They had a 1.99 rack & the dollar bins which turned out to be some 49 cents. Children's Place isn't a bad place if you stay off the retail end lol. Well even at the retail it still beats alot of other stores. I have the credit card (which has a zero balance) plus a coupon almost every visit.

Xanga suggestion ~ "would only get 2 packages of newborn sized and 3-4 packages of size 1 4 packages of size 2 and then 6 packs of size 3 they seem to say in those the longest, for cloth diapers you need special detergent and a stripping agent and make sure you wash them about 7 times beore using them if you've never used cloth diapers just email me and ill give you the info. you also need your wipes either the disposable kind of the cloth kind and with that some solution . and a tub to put them in. you'll need some type of diaper pail for the cltoh diapers and a diaper genie or a diaper dekor plus is what we have and love it. you will also want a blanket to cover up the baby while your chaign them so they wont get cold and a special toy that they cna play or lok at jsut when they are being changed this will help imensily when they get older and want to scoot all over the place, also have extra socks on the changing table dont ask me why but they always seem to stick thir foot or sock in poo and then they need new ones. make suretoget a coolmist humdifier most babies get congested with in 2 weeks of coming home and thats the only thing that will help them sleep"
