Her first outfit!

We got the "going home" outfit in the mail today. It's perfect.

I wanted something natural and comfortable looking. Something that she wouldn't be hot in with the warm weather, but still comfortably covered up. Something I could get in preemie size so it would actually fit her, so I can put it away and always remember it as her first outfit and for it to represent just how tiny she was!

I didn't want a dress. I didn't want something pink. I didn't want something frilly.

This is what I found...





Isn't it adorable?

So, after my third day working on the list yesterday, this is where I stand. I'm actually OK with the fact that I'll be 36 weeks tomorrow now. I feel like I have a good few weeks to take my time with the rest and I have the hard stuff all done.

I feel like I can breathe!

THE List.
