One year ago this month I started blogging about my family's journey to get pregnant and have a child. I love looking back to see how far we have come. In celebration of Nugget's Anniversary I am giving away a large prize pack of some of Nugget's favorite things. Scroll to the bottom to enter!
Before Nugget was born we, like many other new parents, were excited and confused about registering for this new baby. There were so many options there and how was I suppose to know what my baby needed. Please know that before you read my must have list, every baby is different and your list may be completely different than mine.
Let's start with the nursery:
Now Nugget didn't even try to sleep in his crib until he was 6 weeks old, so our room was an extension of the nursery.

Let's start with the nursery:

Dressing Baby:
Your baby will grow at an unpredictable rate. Do not invest in a lot of clothes before the babe gets here. My 5 month old wears 12 months clothes.

- Zip-up sleepers - I hate buttons in the middle of the night!
- Zipadee-zip
