So far, from gifts and from the 4 things I bought this weekend, we have... a dresser for free, a pack n' play and a bunch of toys for free from Joshua's teaching partner Maggie, lots of outlet covers and more toys from my sister-in-law Karen, 3 footed newborn-sized pajamas and a robe from Joshua's mom, several 0-3 sized outfits, 2 size 6 outfits, 4 footless gowns, one pack of 9 month onesies, and one Darth Vader toddler t-shirt (thanks Julia!) From what I hear about how fast she'll grow out of them, hoping for no more newborn-sized stuff... but we'll see.

I'll be trying very hard to keep her in neutral colors, like blue, red and green, that are still distinctly "girl." I've never been a pink person so I don't want too much that looks like a floral shop threw up all over her. But I know that's going to be hard to combat, given the choices out there and given the fact that people think girl and think pink. Gag me.
As far as my registries are concerned, I really think I've added everything I can that is absolutely essential. Mom is helping me decide what crib bedding I like. The nursery plan is neutral colors, green, brown and blue, with really fun artwork and accents all over the room.
Cloth diapers are going to be a whole different animal. I'll probably just get those on my own.
I'll be ramping up my knitting in the coming months, totally to stereotype, and learning how to make little hats. Because seriously, who doesn't love a baby girl in a cute little headband or hat. I'd rather her be super girly with the little hats. People who wear hats have character.
