Now that I know what this little fetus happens to be I am spending way too much time dreaming about all the things I would like to buy or make before our little sweetie arrives! I have made lists and bookmarked web page after web page... Here are a few of my favorite things:
1. Bumbo How have I had two children without one of these? Almost everyone I talk to mentions their love for this little squishy seat... apparently it is a must have that I have lived without... it is on the list for sure!
2. Replacement Pump Parts Oh how I love my pump but it has worked HARD! After pumping for 2 kiddos and pumping exclusively for Aly (She had a tough time even learning to suck after having tubes down her throat, she just never latched well... I pumped and pumped for that girl!) This baby has put in a some hours and will need a few new parts to keep it in tip top shape for one more baby!
3. Sleep Sacks I love... no adore sleep sacks! They make my heart happy! I love them so much I gave all of mine to a friend when she had her little girl, telling her that she would love them as much as I do and that they would solve all her sleep woes.. okay not all but you get the idea... I will be replacing these for sure!
4. Hat Okay is this hat not the most adorable thing you have EVER seen? I saw it on an etsy shop and fell in love.... I want one for Aly and one for baby so they can be little twins in their cute hats! (March is still cool enough to pull off a hat right?)
5. Flowers and Bows Confession time... I have not invested in many hair bows etc. for Aly... I just had a hard time justifying it if she was my only girl... but now I feel like it is a good investment with double the use! I loved these flowers because they can clip on a headband for the baby and in Aly's hair... they will both enjoy! So worth the investment!
6. Jogging Stroller Although I am thinking I may need a triple... Not happening! I really would love a way to get out and burn a few calories with the kids in tow and my sit n stand, although great at the mall, is not so great on the Ivins streets... I pushed a friends double jogger the other day and realized I am working way too hard! But it is definitely a luxury item on the list....
7. Car Seat Blanket I am seeing these everywhere these days and I must say I wish I would have had them for my first two... they are cute, keep germs away, and attach right to your carseat! This is a MUST have item! Although I am thinking one I can likely make myself and save a bundle... Here's to dusting off my sewing machine :)
8. Car Seat Cover I desperately want a cute new car seat but ours is in great shape and only 3 years old so... how about a new cover to give it new life??? YES! I found many different sites that make adorable new covers and even an etsy shop that sells the pattern to make your own!
9. Headbands I need to invest in hair acesories as previously mentioned and these are too cute... they make the list!
That's it... my list of needs, wants, and wishes! But mostly I want a beautiful, healthy, happy little girl and I can hardly wait to meet her!

I LOVE your list!!!! They all look like necessities to me! I'm so excited you're having a girl!! YEAH!!
Mindy...it's Brooke (Richards) from SUU. I found your blog through Sarah's and had to say hello. It looks like you are busy with little kiddos too. Fun stuff. Good luck with baby #3. It's not as bad as people will tell you, just so you know!
oh and the bumbo and the double jogger are totally worth the money... check craigslist I have even seen the bumbos and used places like DI or salvation army
Girls are so fun to shop for! Right now I am having a hard time keeping myself in the boy section for my little man coming in January. I also thought I would tell you that you can get 40% off sleep sacks right now at diapers.com by entering in the code SBHALO.
I don't know if you have ever ordered from them before but they are really fast and I have never had any problems. I know if you are a new customer you get $10 off your first order as well, so you could really get a great deal on sleep sacks. Best of luck to you :)
Congratulations on a new little bundle of girl! How exciting. I wanted to let you know that I make headbands, flower bows and boutique bows. If you send me a list of some colors or pics of ones you really love I would love to make some for you as a baby gift! My e-mail is bealerfamily@gmail.com, I am so excited! I am going to start a blog about the bows I make for Ellie and how I do her hair. I should get on that so you can see some of the fun stuff I have made!! How fun for your family!! Let me know what you think!!
Love Deeders
