Baby loot

With the BIG ultrasound scheduled less than one week from today, I figured it was appropriate to conduct inventory of the baby's items prior to finding out the gender.  I have to say, this kiddo has quite a few things.  In addition to the towels purchased by mom, the books purchased by me, and the onesie from Bill (all discussed in previous posts), here is the baby loot.

First, Bill's favorite onesie so far (shout out and thanks to Meme for the great present).


Next up, the Christmas onesies purchased by my mom during the after Christmas sale last year and a tie onesie that I made.  These onesies exciting me so much because they establish a very real time frame: Christmas = Baby.  It is so exciting to think about.



I know, the last one is technically not gender neutral, but since I am convinced the lil lump is a boy, I had to include it.

These next onesies were purchased years ago by Bill and I at target for 25 cents a piece.  I guess we were having baby fever, but knew the timing wasn't right.  I can't wait to finally be able to use these.


The next onesie was purchased by me in New Orleans last weekend. It is my favorite so far.   I just imagine a cute little baby with thunder thighs wearing this one.


The last up in the inventory is the most special to me.  My Granny Hantz (dad's mom) made baby blankets for  years.  Everyone wanted a Granny Hantz blanket and there isn't a kid in southwest Louisiana during the 90s/early 2000s who was not swaddled with one at least once during the first month of their life.  My cousins, nieces, and nephews all were comforted by Granny Hantz blankets.  I cannot even imagine not having one for my child.  So, years back (probably 5 years or so) when Granny decided not to make blankets anymore, I had to purchase them.  I have three blankets and one pillowcase that I will have stitched with the baby's name.
