Well Madison's closet is already starting to be filled with clothes thanks to my Mom and Aunt Beth  (and Uncle Mike  and Abby of course).  My Aunt Beth and Uncle Mike starting sending over clothes and toys that Miss Abby has grown out of! We are so thankful for the great hand me downs! We have also received many beautiful knit blankets and sweaters.

My Mom couldn't help herself and invested in a monogrammed bib and socks as well as some onesies! They are all so cute! I can't wait until she is here and wearing all these beautiful clothes!

We have also opened a mutual find and started saving for Madison's college (well it was opened last February, you can never start too soon). College is super expensive but critical and Joe and I hope to be able to foot the bills for college like my parents did for me.  I am so excited to open up her first bank account; it would be done if I they could just give me her social security number early (haha). Yes I love watching money grow; my second career would have been a financial advisor.

This week we have to start shopping for a rug and dresser for the room. We already have a white bench (the time out bench)  in her room so we are going to stick to white furniture. 

This week I am starting to show a little- ya I'm not really the belly poser picture kind of girl. I am starting to bring out the maternity pants. I got a great deal from craigslist. for a grand total of $130 I have over 13 pairs of pants and about 19 tops. Some pants I can wear now and others I assume I'll grow into.  Maternity stores are not going to take advantage of me! $35 dollars for one pair of pants I wear for only a couple months. Although I did buy a couple shirts and a sweater just for some staples. But boy I sure love to beat the system! 

Stocking up on diapers is also another item on my list. I have heard that Pampers are the best, so if you have any coupons or see any great deals let me know!
