I Don't Want to Drive My Baby

Dear Little Bit,

I never want to drive you in my car.
I know that sounds bad, right?
But after seeing someone spin their own car out of control to avoid hitting me,
I know longer really want to drive you around.
I don't usually cry over things like that,
I just think "Whew that wouldn't have been good."
But now it is different.
After seeing a speeding car almost plow into my stopped car,
with my big pregnant belly,
it really changes things.
The floodgates opened and the tears ran out the whole drive home.

I've decided that until you're like twelve years old,
I'm just going to stay home. We're not going anywhere.
I'll home school you to avoid having you ride the big yellow cheese wagon.
And I'll teach you to dance at home rather than at dance class.
Because that's how much I don't like the thought of driving you around.
It's a scary road out there.

I wonder how well those "Baby on Board" signs will work on our car.
How awesome is that car seat we have? Who knows. 
And mommy can drive slow as molasses, but there are still other coo coo birds out there.

Maybe we'll fly.
There has to be somewhere that we can purchase some jet packs.
Because that's how much I don't like the thought of driving you around.

But then again, I know once you arrive...
I'll be anxious to bring you home. To your little nest.
And of course, we'll have to drive.

Interesting article on these signs, but I'm still using mine! via

Did you have a fear of driving 
your baby around?

Baby Clothing Sizes {Help}

So Little Bit got a ton of adorable clothes from her shower and I seriously can't wait to play dress up with her. All of her wonderful shower guests stocked her closet full! I have a feeling this child will be dressed to the "T" everyday; especially if she'll have any visitors. Forget what mommy looks like, it's all about the baby now. 

The outfit I've been eyeing for forever :)
{I do intend on still dressing cute, but just sayin} 

I've been holding onto a coupon for Carter's where I had my eye on a whole series of clothes that were all within the same color scheme. I've been very good and haven't purchased any clothes for Little Bit in months because of my shower and I thought perhaps I'd end up with that little outfit. Well now that the shower is over, I hightailed it to the store to use my coupon and luckily that little set of clothes was on SALE. WOOHOO.

But here is my question for you guys (you pro-mamas)...how does clothing size typically work? For instance, is 0/3 months and 3 months the same? How long is a baby usually in NB size and is it 0/3 months after that or 3 months? Then after 3 months is it 3/6 or just straight to 6? (Most clothing she has is from Carter's)

It's somewhat confusing as I am trying to make sure I have a variety of clothes and that any 6-9 month clothes I purchase her are long sleeve considering it will be Fall/Winter time. Also, will creepers work around 6 months even with colder weather (just to wear indoors)? Of course in Louisiana, they may even work outside--HA. 

Ahhhhh, this is confusing. 


More of that adorable collection from Carter's! 

Who is ready to give some advice?
Stay tuned to see some of her adorable
clothes from her shower...:)
