building out the nest

jack jr. had a big shopping day - today we picked out his crib and changing table, and a glider for his supermaman. unfortunately this new furniture might take as long as 6 weeks to arrive - it's a good thing we have aunt vickie's cosleeper...

Gifts for baby

Jack Jr got spoiled this month !
Aunt Susie got him this super cute bouncer (we love the color and the softness of the material).
It will allow baby to be comfy while his mom cooks, take a shower...etc..while keeping an eye on him !

Aunt Vicki got him his bed ! :-)

It looks like this but she got us one in sage color. It will be VERY practical when mom will want to breastfeed in the middle of the night and will still be recovering from her c-section...

Then it will be converted into a pack & play or as toy storage or changing table (YES it really does it all !!)...

Jack Jr also got some fancy French clothes from "mamie Cathy" and now he should be all dressed for the first couple months !! (it is tough to find "smaller" sizes in the US :(

My friend Alexandra got him a swaddle blanket, a sling (sooo cool, looks like a purse!) and some nail cutters (Jack's job).
This is the sling :


Cheryl got him a baby bonkie and a cute little toy made of organic cotton.
It looks like a baby cocoon !

Thanks everyone !!

News...

So we had our ultrasound and they announced us that Jack Jr was very eager to come out and meet his wonderful parents...
So they scheduled us for an amniocentesis (to check for lung maturity) and a C-section on October 10th (he'll be 1 month early).
We're moving this weekend and then we will be focusing on Jack Jr's arrival !

Our baby boy's registry

Many people have asked us and "yes we are registered"...
Here's the link to our registry.

Don't hesitate to email us for all useful items we may have forgotten ! :-)

No crib yet...

Just a small clarification : we bought the sheet set + bumper NOT the crib ...
