The shopping begins…
Ok, so the shopping began a while ago. But there are only so many things that you can buy when you don’t know the age or gender of your children.![]()
Jrock and I are pretty fixed on a boy and a girl, but I’ve been nervous about purchasing anything… “just in case.” But yesterday I broke the mold. To add to my previous list of
- 120+ children’s books
- 3 diaper bags
- some dress up things (vulcan ears, bow ties, etc…)
- baby nail clippers and the mini turkey baster you use to clear your baby’s nose of snot
- a block set on a cart (J thinks these are “cool”)
- a sign and a jewelry box for our girl
I totally stole the idea of the sign from my friend Debbie, who did a WONDERFUL job of decorating her new daughters’ room.

I also picked out a colour scheme for our boy (4 drapery panels will come in handy!) His room will have a sort of outdoors in the woods with furry animals and snakes and lakes and adventure sort of theme.

And a colour scheme for our girl. Hers will be a naturey theme with frogs and fairies and trees and flowers.


Love the sign……Your color schemes are wonderful can’t wait to see the finished prouduct. It’s fun shopping, even for little things like lice shampoo LOL.

It’s great, Nicky, and I love the colours. Just don’t get too carried away…you never know, you might wind up with two boys! I know it’s hard not to shop, but maybe try and stick mainly with the gender-neutral stuff, like baby shampoo and diaper cream. I know, not too exciting-sounding. You can always get them stuffies…

I am Justine and we are also with KL and hoping for two little girls 18 months – 7 years.
Are you aware that Sears.ca carries a whole bedding line like the sheet you are holding up? I just bought the bedding skirt, sheets, comforter, sham for my oldest son. The comforter etc comes in coordinating colours so you can mix and match as you wish.
