A Baby Closet and Other Things...

I'm almost certain I remember my friend Kelly writing about her baby closet or it might have been her mom, I just can't remember and I didn't take the time to go back and re-read. Nonetheless I think I'm taking this idea from them......

Last week I was at a store to buy a plant and card for a lady who's husband passed away. While I was there, I saw an OU camouflage onesie. My very first thought as usual was "I wish I was carrying a baby in my arms wearing that." Then my next thought was "I guess I could buy that for Eric's baby." Then my next thought was "Why can't I buy that now for my own baby I will adopt some day?" Then (a lot of Then's sorry) I remembered Kelly/her mom writing about a baby closet and I contemplated buying the outfit and starting my own "Baby Closet." I debated and then left without it. I thought about it for days and if I should do something like that. I thought about it over the weekend and kept coming back to the idea that I think it would help me to know I could buy things for our child instead of always feeling the pain of buying for others. I like to buy for others and give but sometimes I just want it for myself. It would make the fact that we will have a child someday more real and more believable. I didn't even tell Bryan about it. I did tell my mother-in-law and I think she was on board. I'm not going to go crazy and buy something every week and maybe not every month. But when I see something I would cherish, then I may just buy it. So, yesterday I left work quickly and bought this.....

I LOVE it!!! My first item in my baby closet!!! I couldn't decide what size to buy 6 months, 12 months, or 18 months. I really really really x 100 want an infant but if we go through the state of OK we may have to expand to 10-12 months. 12 months would be the oldest I would want to adopt. So, I settled for 18 months to be safe. I wanted to make sure I can use it. I know it is camo but I also had visions of a sweet little baby girl wearing a lace head band with a camo bow and jeans on!!!! Call me crazy. But I just think it would look cute!!

A couple weeks ago I took a few dollars from my "play savings account" and did a little shopping at Crackle Barrel. I saw this when we took my Uncle and his family there after the baby shower. So I went back a week later and bought it.

I'm having a hard time finding a candle to go in it. There is a little lump in the center that causes the one candle I had at home to tilt. I don't think I want to melt the wax because at Christmas time I want to put decorative balls in it.

After I bought the onesie, I went here.....

My new friend sent me a Starbucks coupon that had been in the newspaper. It's for a $2 cold drink after 2 p.m. We had discussed it at our scrapbook night and a few weeks ago she mailed me the one that was in her paper!!! Thank you Guyla!!!! I finally got to use it for the first time yesterday and got my favorite drink......

Green Tea Frap. The neat thing....I get to use the card numerous times until September and save $$$$ !!!!!

Anyway, just some randomness. But I was excited about my "Baby Closet" I hope Kelly you don't mind me taking the idea.
