More thanks :0)

More goodies are making their way into the house. PIPA is going to be one 'set' little girl. That beautiful mama over at A Beautiful Mess offered to let me trial run her Ergo before I invest. I'm so indecisive about the whole carrier thing and this will really help me make a decision. Of course, I have to go online and figure out how to strap myself up to use it. I've seen devices with straps like that before but I don't think they were meant to carry a baby ;0) New adventures for me! Other treats were found in the package with that uber-happenin' Ergo:


That 'cherry on top' hat is crazy cute. I think I just may have to wear it instead of PIPA ;0) There is a purple pig onesie which will be perfect for my gal who made the Year of the Golden Pig by a matter of days. As well, I've been hearing about the 'No-Cry Sleep Solution' book. I'll have to check into that for sure. I'm not sure which one of us won't be crying if she really doesn't sleep ;0) Thank you, mama of the suger-honey-iced-tea. (I'm getting better...really.)

Next was this fun package from a very special young lady:

I love that Maisie included her photo wearing the duck jams...that makes it all the more special. I can see my girl kickin' back in those jams and watching some Baby Einstein. I also send a huge thanks to Miss Maisie for the very sweet note to PIPA that she sent with the goodies.

I am so very eager to put all these wonderful, thoughtful things to use. Only weeks to go now!!!

hehehe sugar honey ice tea cracks me up every time!!

Can't wait to see your girl chill-laxin in the Ergo....

Good luck with the sleep thing....some people are better at it than others..I suck at it. My sister on the other hand is a sleep nazi and always had her kids to bed by 7:30 and sleeping through the night! Me, well I had a cot under my bed for Ben or Hannah to pull out so they could sleep in our room....until they were four!

I borrowed an ERGO for the trip thinking it would be a trial, too. I don't know what I would have done without it!!!! It was great, especially at the airports. Since my daughter is a little older than PIPA, though, we ended up not needing it once we were home. So glad I didn't invest the big bucks. My friend gave it to me with a video to watch. It helped me try it out a bit before the big day.

As far as sleep goes.... I don't think you will know what will be best until you really know PIPA. This was my hardest issue. All my adjustment and jet lagged craziness got funneled into sleep concerns. It took a while to figure out what was best. As long as I stuck with "the plan" and didn't impulsively do something half cocked, it eventually worked.

What great gifts! I'm sure PIPA will look adorable in them.

Love the gifts! I too loved having the Ergo to carry and bond with Ellie. HOWEVER, I can't for the life of me click all the clasps by myself! I tried wearing it to bring Ellie and my pooch to the vet the other day and what a catastrophe! Crying baby, teary mama and neurotic dog. Maybe I missed something on the dvd that comes with it and you know I had no time to view it so I trashed it! My brother had to help me everytime in China. I'm sure it's a total ID10T error so if you figure it out PLEASE let me know what I'm doing wrong! Good grief, but I can't believe I went public with this... =) =)

Start practicing carrying the cats around! True story, we put our poor pooch in the baby carrier first to make sure it was on properly, and then to get used to carrying the weight around. Poor pooch.
I am thrilled your amazing journey is about to start.
Now, how do we get your address to send you a little something?

Love ME's cherry on top hat and that Lisa sent a pic of M wearing the Duck P.J.'s - very sweet.
(I'm making myself physically sick again today, btw. How in the heck did you deal with this???)

Marla said...

Cute stuff, that cherry hat is to die for!! Your Pipa is going to be one well-dressed cutie!

Lisa~~ said...

Glad you like the duckiness, I couldn't resist setting it aside for Pipa.

Pink Velvet Mommy said...

I was so excited to see the order from A beautiful mess, and know that I was getting to make something for your Pipa. I hope she enjoys her purple pig onesie as much as I did making it for her.

You are just around the corner from going to get her, and I look forward to seeing you holding your girl!!
