Once Reese was born we had so much love and support from all of our families and friends. We had some visitors in the hospital, and then we had a few days at home just the three of us trying to figure out what in the world we are doing. Reese was our little celebrity that everyone wanted to see which is such a good feeling to be able to show her off.
Here are Reese’s Newborn Photos that our friend took. Here is her website if you are interested in her information. It is strange seeing these pictures, because she has changed so much already from when these were taken.
Here are some really cute pictures of Reese getting her bath.

Here is more sewing that I was trying to cram in before our little one arrived. One item that I just couldn’t justify spending money on was the Boppy Lounger. It looks so nice and comfy,but the price tag was just too much. So, I bought a yard of light grey minky fabric from Walmart for $6/yard. I followed THIS tutorial, and half an hour later I had a baby lazy boy/lounger.
Two of my sisters have had kids/babies already, and both have given me things that they don’t use or need anymore. My sister Kira brought over Boxes of clothes that our little girl can borrow which is a huge help as we don’t have many good thrift stores around this area, people on craigslist try to charge more for used clothes than they ever paid, and borrowing from our church group won’t work because most of them are having their second kids at the same time as we are having our first, so they need to use those clothes. I’m so grateful that I can borrow all of these from Kira. I did need a good way to keep them apart however. I knew there was no way that I would remember which clothes belonged to whom since we do have a few clothing items that were give to us or I found at the annual Huntsville consignment sales that are actually worth shopping at. So, here is the system that I came up with.
