Productive day and the world's most spoiled unborn baby.

I worked 11-3 today. Immediately after I got done working, I went to the office at work to do my baby shower invites. My mom bought printable ones, so my dad and I did the printing of them. My dad did the hard part of setting up the page so it printed right.. I just typed stuff and made it a pretty font and colors. It was actually much easier than I anticipated. We also made little inserts, because we're gonna do a book instead of a card shower.. So I assembled all the invites and then brought them to my mom's house.. While I was there, I decided to help her address and stuff the envelopes. So we got all of those DONE, she just needs to get stamps and stick them in the mailbox.

Then, my mother-in-law decided she is going to mail out her own invites, so I brought her a stack of them.. While I was there, she decided she wanted to order my light fixture and carpet from Restoration Hardware Baby and Child.. And she didnt' just leave it at that, she bought a lamp and a shade that I love and a cradle/moses basket set that SHOULD fit my cradle just about perfectly. I called RH and they were able to give me my $100 off $400 coupon code over the phone for making a registry there because i hadn't gotten it in the mail yet.. I had to wait on hold for ever, but we got all that stuff for around $300 (it was actually more than that with tax and shipping).

Oh.. and she had also finished making the valences last night, so I got to bring those home with me too. I don't have curtain rods yet.. They are ADORABLE though.. They are larger dots than the fabric I posted below.. but I like it even BETTER.. She did SUCH a good job with them though.. She is so detail oriented, she realized that when she doubled over the fabric for the hems and stuff that she had to make the dots line up so they wouldn't show funny when the light shined through. I NEVER would have thought of that, let alone take the time to actually MAKE them line up..

So, just in case she hadn't spoiled her unborn grand-daughter enough for one day, she then presented me with a box of baby outfits.. They are SO stinkin cute.. A carters warm sleeper, two carters long nightgown/sleepsack things (with the little hand covers, and one has a lamb on it, and this PRECIOUS little pink and brown polka dotted one-piece outfit with little frillys on the feet and a matching hat.. She bought all newborn sizes though.. so I hope that I have a little baby!

So basically, everything we need for Eve's room is now officially ordered.. The only other things I need to possibly buy is a closet organizer and the knobs for the dressers and stuff. So.. what do you think? Could my child get any more spoiled? It doesn't seem like it, but I have a feeling that once she is here.. it just MIGHT happen.
