I have yet to start really buying anything for the baby. Partially because I figure I should wait 'til we have a baby shower, partially because we have nowhere to put most of his stuff until August 1 (which I am not happy about, I thought our lease was up mid-July but apparently they give you the whole month so it's August 1... and that gives me a month (that's assuming I don't give birth early) to get a room ready for him. Not happy at all.). Well, I'm sure my mom would store some stuff at her house for us, but there I have to worry about her cats getting on it/spraying it.

Yesterday we did go ahead and buy a nursing pillow and a sling. I figured I might as well because as much as I'd enjoy a boppy, this pillow doesn't look that much different (I think it's thinner) and I got the pillow for free--just had to pay shipping (while I know likely somebody would have given me one at a baby shower, I figure either they'll get something else when they see I'm not registered for it OR I can return it and use the money to get something else I'll probably need. I also liked this pattern more than the boppy patterns I saw at the store).

 Then they gave me a code to get the sling for free, so yet again it was just shipping (and I paid extra so that if I have to exchange it once William gets here if I find out it doesn't fit right then I have no issue changing it out). I had had one at one point but it was before I knew what I was having so I hadn't wanted to buy one because while I liked a more gender-neutral one alright, I wanted to go based off gender, or at least know to have that option. But it worked out because they had new patterns so we got one that's very boyish that I think is super cute.

I'd wanted to get his name personalized on it but I don't plan to call him William when he gets here, though that may be what we do end up calling him, so I figured I'd wait. Also, it'll be easier to give away to somebody if it's not personalized, or to use if we happen to have another boy ever.

I can't wait for them to get here and for him to get here so I can use them.
