Show us Your Life

It's Show us Your Life Friday! This week over at Kelly's Korner it's BABY GEAR week. Since we don't have a child and don't plan on having one anytime soon I don't have any favorite baby gear. However, I wanted to join in on the fun, so I'm going to list a few things that I think are just so cute or things that I might want whenever that time does come!
Booties: Aren't these booties just precious!?! I know that alot of new moms just opt out of the baby shoes because most of the time they end up kicking them off, but come on! How can you say no to these!!
Bibs: I always thought that you can go waaaay overboard with monogramming, but these are so cute! I love the patterns.
Bedding: This is my DREAM crib bedding! I think it would be so cute for a boy or a girl. I'm always on the look out for neutral stuff too, because Mike and I already know that when we do decide to start having kids we won't want to know what the baby is before he/she is born. I just love damask and in these colors is perfect. :) It would be easy to throw in some pink accents if the baby was a girl or leave as is if a boy.Udder Cover: I keep going back and forth about breast feeding, but I know that when I have a child I'll definitely try it out and if it works out wouldn't this just be perfect!? I'm all for modesty and what a help this would be. I think it kind of looks like an apron. But I'm sure it's nice that you can be completely covered and still be able to see your baby and what's going on. Without getting too hot too since I'm sure the alternative is being all covered up with a blanket.
All of these things weren't very practical, just more fun but I'm allowed to have some fun with it now before I actually have to consider all the options :) By the time I'm pregnant I'm sure I'll have completely different opinions and new stuff will be on the market and doctors will be saying something new too about what's best for your children. Head over to Kelly's blog to check out all of the other baby gear that people like.

Where is the bedding from? I love it!

I love the udder cover. It's so wonderful and makes nursing less stressful.
From a nursing mom, I must say that I'm very partial to nursing verses bottle feeding. It's a little different/painful the first week, but if you stick it out, it's wonderful.
One thing I love about it, is every 3 hours, I HAVE to stop and take moments to look and cherish my baby. Those are my favorite moments...examining toes, stroking cheeks, gushing over eyelashes. I've been able to take time several times a day to just look and enjoy.
I think when you bottle feed, it's so easy to feed while doing something else, or let someone else do it.
Sorry if that was too much info, but I just wanted to encourage you!
Good luck whenever the time comes!

Helen, That wasn't too much info! No worries! I love hearing new mommy advice. I just store it away for "things I'll need to know someday" :)
Catherine-the bedding is from Carousel Designs (babybedding.com)
It's VERY expensive. So I would never get that exact bedding, but I love the pattern.
