Ready...Set...GO!

Getting things ready for Cora are in full swing at the Partington household! This Momma has been preparing by watching bow tutorials and creating sweet little ribbons to accessorize outfits...I was a "bowhead"...and my daughter will be too!








We finally got some furniture!! It only took 2 months and a mini meltdown for it to happen. We had originally ordered from a catalog and upon finding out it had been discontinued (cut meltdown) after it was backordered for over a month and supposed to be shipped, the search began again. It didn't take long until I found some more that I loved and it's already arrived and been put together by Cora's Daddy...although the instructions weren't the greatest!

I recently purchased a sling because I've got several friends who have used one (and a sling had been their lifesaver). I'm a firm believer in babywearing so I was very excited to get that purchase in the mail. If you haven't ever checked out zulily...I highly recommend it...I got my sling for half price! I couldn't have Cora come and not know how to use the sling so we had to prepare for that as well, the cabbage patch doll assisted with this. Read about the benefits of babywearing.

I've been experiencing many more changes as I've gotten further in my pregnancy. For one, (besides the growing belly) I'm feeling her move a lot more now and can see her bouncing around in there sometimes. AJ has gotten to feel her too, which was really exciting. We still have quite a way to go in the pregnancy just yet....so more preparations to make and more changes to come...all very exciting!
