Sunday Snapshot {the bassinet}



Went shopping the other day.....

For this:




Because of this:




Yes, my darling daughter, Faith, is having a baby!

 A B-A-B-Y!




This bundle of joy is due to arrive in late July.

So, I thought it was time to buy Faith (and the baby) a bassinet.

We had a lot of fun shopping.

Of course.

We went to the big mall.....several hours away......and made a day out of it.

Shopping.

Lunching.

More shopping.

Happily, we found what we were looking for.

A 'traditional' bassinet with a modern twist.

(My, how baby things have changed in the past five years since we adopted Shea!)




This {traditional} bassinet not only plays eight classical pieces of music, it also vibrates and provides four 'soothing' nature sounds.

Birds chirping
Gentle rain
Crickets chirping
Frogs croaking (?)

Interesting.
I guess, time will tell if they are indeed 'soothing'.

My husband graciously agreed to put the bassinet together.  (Faith's husband, Jon, was at drill.)

The Littles graciously agreed to 'try it out' with their dollies.

I mean, they are going to be 'Aunties' now.  They are taking this role quite seriously.
Gotta make sure the bassinet is up to snuff for the new baby.




Looks like everything is A-okay!
Got the 'mommy-approval'.  :)




Mommy?

A baby???

Really!


How does this happen?

Well, I do know how this happens.

But, really?

How does this happen?

So....

Yeah, that makes me a....gulp.....grandma or something?

Grandma????

I'm saving that concept for another post!

In the mean time, I am just so stinkin' excited and proud.

My baby is having a baby!!!




Wait.

How does this happen????

    You will have a blast.
