What I'm Loving Wednesday {Happy Fourth!}



So... it was storming today. Not just a mild shower but crazy lightning and scary RAIN! We hid out in a Babies R Us until it passed [the first time I used the "expectant mother" parking... now that I'm waddling I totally quality!], but just goes to show how unpredictable Florida weather can be. It's a little nicer out but it certainly ruined any plans of beaching and fireworks. Not that I wanted to do those activities anyway -- that would require being in the sun and I'm trying to avoid that nowadays -- but still. I didn't have any options except to SHOP today.

Hence... this edition of What I'm Loving.

 I found a Baby Einstein Musical Jumper for $12. $12 people! That is insane.
 I'm assuming some sweet grandmother in Naples bought this for her grandchild and she was far too lazy to re-sell it or give it to someone she knew and it ended up at the Salvation Army. I'm a little weird with buying some things used [I mean... is it DANGEROUS?! Is there a part missing?!], but this toy still played the sound, was very sturdy, and just needs some Lysol Wipes. It's in great shape.

Babies R Us surprised me with the baby's lamp I wanted on clearance as well. Yoink.

I found wall decals for a few dollars -- which means the room is coming together. I own everything I need... I just need a few days at home to get everything UP and ready. It's crazy! We were so blessed at our shower that most things have been purchased. We don't need many more items -- if anything. Anything else we get at this point would just be items we don't necessarily NEED but more so want [like more clothes, a fancy baby monitor, etc.].

Speaking of the shower, I will post about it tomorrow. It was super fantastical. I can't even put it into words!

I can't wait to hear about your shower! And love shopping excursions! I'm totally living vicariously through everyone else until I get to have a babay of my own. Haha.

Is there a specific theme for your nursery? Mine's a million percent going to be dr. seuss!

I don't have kids but I love going into Babies R' Us. I could get lost in there for hours, like a book store.

Ugh I agree that rain killed my night (because I still love fireworks lol) but I'm so glad to hear you get everything you needed. And $12 for the jumper is practically free! Can't wait to read about the shower :)
