Henry shows off his new snowsuit!

I wanted something really warm for him to wear when he goes on neighborhood walks at daycare. REI had an insulated snowsuit on sale for $45 but I figured I'd check out the Wiggle Room consignment store first... Look what I found! Only $16 but since I had a $16 credit from consigning, it was FREE! The snowsuit is a brand new Le Petit Rothschild, which retails for $50. What a deal!

More outfits for Baby Brother!

We swung by Target this past weekend to pick up more storage bins to pack up the office, which will be Alexa's new room. While we were there, I found this adorable Dwell Studio alphabet outfit for Baby Brother on clearance! I also found this cute onesie for him to wear on next year's July 4th holiday!

Big boy outfits for Daddy's mini-me

OKOKOK, I have to stop buying baby boy clothes! I totally admit that boy clothes are not nearly as cute as little girl clothes. But there are still some gems out there! Remember how I got obsessed with Tea Collection stuff for Alexa? Well. It turns out that they have some pretty cool stuff for little boys too! Check out this selection of Tea Collection outfits that I got for 1/2 off, plus some clearance Carters stuff. Totally leaning toward navy blue and darker colors... More boyish than pastels and sail boats!

Alexa's new favorite toy: Mega Bloks!

I had been wanting to get some Mega Bloks for Alexa for a while now. Good thing I waited! I wanted to buy her the pink/purple set. I'm glad that I waited until we found out we are having a boy because I was able to get Alexa this gender neutral set. And I got it on super sale at Amazon for $12.28 (regular $24.99)!! Since the day we opened the box, she has been obsessed! She loves building big towers and calls them "castles." So cute. I can't wait to introduce her to Legos, my favorite childhood toy!

Garage sale books!

On Sunday, we stopped by a garage sale on our way to lunch. And we scored a deal! Five kids books for $1 total -- that's only 20 cents a book! Alexa is now really into Curious George. She points and says "Monkey!" and "Lellow Hat." So cute.

Another outfit for our baby boy!

After lunch in Bethesda on Saturday, we did a little shopping and Mommy found this adorable newborn Zutano outfit for half off! Sure, it's very baby-ish. But it's cute. Our little boy can dress like a baby until he's 3 months.

Alexa shows off her new hat and jacket!

After Mia's yesterday, we stopped by my favorite consignment store... And Alexa got a cute hot pink jacket from GAP! I really wanted a cute winter jacket. But I didn't want to pay $50. Got this one for $17! Score! Also got this hat and matching mittens from Buy Buy Baby for $8, using a 20% off coupon. And, love this new pink fleece from REI, an early Christmas gift from Grandma!

Anyway, today is Sunday=Football, so we headed to a nearby mall where Daddy could watch the games at Dave & Busters and Alexa and I could go shopping. Fun! Everyone's happy! Wait until you see the cute hooded sweater that we got at Bloomingdales... And a beautiful ruffled skirt we found at GAP!

Alexa eats PIZZA and MEATBALLS at Mia's!

We had lunch at one of our favorite pizza places today, and got a good deal too! I got $30 worth of food at Mia's for $15 on LivingSocial.com. Our bill was $32, so it cost us only $2 and tip. Way cool! Alexa, meanwhile, enjoyed eating pizza and meatballs! She made a MESS but had a good time. So did we!

Deals! Deals! I got some great deals!

The weather was amazing today, so we all went for a walk! As Alexa slept and Daddy watched football at a nearby restaurant, I snuck away for a few minutes to check out the Wiggle Room, a baby and maternity consignment store near our house.

I had seen a Baby Hawk carrier there that I was interested in. These carriers can be customized in the color and fabric of your choosing and go for $90-115. The one at Wriggle Room is brown with white, green and pink fabric. The price of $34 was set to decrease to $20 in a couple days and I wanted to see if it was still there!

It was... And they gave me the lower price early! What a deal! Here is my new (refurbished) Baby Hawk carrier!

I also got a brand new, still in its packaging JJ Cole Toddler UrbanBundleMe just like our current Infant one for only $15.73 (retails for $59.99)! And I picked up a second Miracle Blanket for just $5.50 (retails for $29.95) and a black Bravado nursing tank top for $10.50 (retails for $45).

Yay! We love deals!

Another great day for a walk!

Gorgeous day out again, so my friend Mary Clare came over with her baby Catherine for another walk. This time, we decided to break out our Baby Bjorn carriers. Our babies immediately fell asleep! So we made it to Starbucks and back with sleeping babies!

Oh, and we stopped at the Wiggle Room to pick up another Boppy nursing pillow so I can have one upstairs and one downstairs. Only $15! Score!

Finally, click HERE for your adorable Alexa video of the day!

More shopping! Still no baby!

I am convinced that Baby Lima Bean is a shopaholic. See, every day she is late, I have nothing else to do, so I go out shopping and buy her stuff. She's sitting in there going, "I wonder what I'll get if I hold off ONE more day?!"

Oh yes, this one will be trouble. Papa Bean better watch out!

As it is, we spent today in Friendship Heights introducing my sister and mom to the fabulousness that is Filene's Basement. And lo and behold, I even discovered something new about Filenes... They have a baby section!

Five-piece Puma outfit sets for $19.99 each... Ralph Lauren dresses for $25 each... I couldn't resist! And now Baby Lima Bean has more cute clothes... Not like she needed any more! She is going to be one stylish baby. I only hope I can dress well enough to carry her around!

Like I said... Watch out, Papa Bean!

Oh my cuteness!

I. Have. Discovered. The. Cutest. Baby. Clothes. Ever! Seriously. I may not be able to buy cute clothes for my bloated self (I swear if one more person tells me that I look humongous and the baby must be coming any day now, I will scream!)... But I sure can buy adorable designer threads for my little princess! Who cares that she's not born yet. Since when is being born a necessity when it comes to cute clothes?

I discovered the Tea Collection when I was at Buy Buy Baby purchasing items for our stroller, thanks to Grandpa Howard Bean and Mema Wanda Bean! (More ranting and raving on the amazing stroller coming up!)

Back to the cute clothes. Oh how I can't resist the Clearance rack. And there they were... The cutest clothes EVER! I displayed admirable restraint and only purchased two darling outfits...


BUT THEN, I Googled. I had to... And I discovered the Tea Collection Web site! And they just happened to be having a big sale, with 20% off already reduced prices THIS WEEK ONLY!

Again, I showed admirable restraint and only purchased several of the cutest dresses, in various sizes. Combined with the over-the-top cute clothes that Lima Bean already got at my shower, these dresses will certainly make her the best dressed, cutest baby ever!

Got our crib mattress! Adorable baby clothes! Love the new 'hood!

Today was a wonderful day... Started with some light unpacking. Enjoyed breakfast in our new home. Then we walked along a path down the street to downtown Bethesda!

Our house may be on a quiet street, but we are within a nice 15-20 minute stroll to tons of shops and restaurants in town. The path, known as the Bethesda Trolley Trail, will be great to walk baby Lima Bean on in her stroller. And I can go running along the trail, which runs from Rockville to Bethesda and hooks up with the Capitol Crescent Trail to D.C., to get back into shape! We are so lucky to have such a great location. I am so excited about our new neighborhood!

On our walk into town, we stopped at Urban Country's big clearance sale and I picked up some adorable baby clothes for Baby Lima Bean at half off! Check out this adorable newborn hat and mittens! And this cute pink hat and booties! All organic and so soft!

We then enjoyed a delicious meal at Cafe Deluxe, I got a manicure and pedicure, some delicious gelato and we walked home! I got an e-mail letting me know that our crib mattress was in, so we turned the day productive by zipping out to pick it up! Pictured below is the Eco-Friendly Sealy Posturepedic Springfree Crib Mattress. I ordered it on sale for $119 from Wal-Mart
