Thanks to the heads up by Samma, I ordered my Carseat Canopy using a promotional code and got it free (just paid shipping). Now, full disclosure, I personally think they run these promotions all of the time and then just charge a sizable amount for shipping -- mine was nearly $13 for a padded envelope -- BUT, still a great deal for $13! I went with a gender-neutral pattern. The underside is gray minky fabric, that soft soft soft fabric with the raised dots on it. I love it and love that it will shield our babe from light, from the sun, from the cold, from germy strangers!
(FYI: Using my beloved sale scouring site Retail Me Not, looks like you can currently use code PJBABY to get your canopy for free and just pay shipping! Even if you don't have a kiddo, this would be an awesome baby shower gift for a friend or coworker. Please let me know if this code works for you!)

Know what I love? That I wish I'd never tried? The banana pudding milkshake from Cook Out.
And know what makes the perfect milkshake tray?
This ginormous belly.

Do. Not. Even. Get. Me. Started .... on how amazing Chrisley Knows Best is. Are you watching this show yet?!
It comes on USA but I watch it on my Entertainment On Demand channel. I've watched five episodes so far and I'm just crazy in love with this hilarious, interesting, slightly effeminate Southern dad and his family.

I have decided that the best place to compose umpteen dozen thank you notes is in the rocking chair in the nursery. Glass of water by my side and surrounded by my child's beautiful things. Notice how I keep sharing little tidbits of her room. Almost finished and then I can't wait to share the whole thing!
(PS, if you squint really hard, you can see the "Notes" pad on the right has a list titled Last Minute Grabs. Yes, people, that's getting us ready for our trip to the hospital. Crazy to think that it is even time to make that list!)
Now, your turn to link up. I'd love to read your five! Any five things on your mind will do. Just link to one or all of the hostess sites and insert the logo below. Then link-up with us and you are set!
The Chrisleys are originally from my hometown and I worked with Julie's mom when I first graduated college! And the banana pudding milkshakes are to die for.
ReplyDeleteThat show is completely amazing. I think I watch with my jaw hanging open the whole time! I have just never seen anything quite like it. Love the peek into that sweet nursery!

ReplyDeleteHa! I ran an ad campaign for the Chrisley show before it launched! (Did you also see that they recently filed for MAAAYYYJ bankruptcy? Eewps.)
ReplyDeleteBon weekend my sweet friend!
The Chrisley's are my FAVORITE! Ever since the show came out, I've been on the lookout to see them around Atlanta. Too funny!
ReplyDeleteThat milkshake looks delish!
I am so glad I ordered my carseat canopy back in February because it was on backorder until April. In fact I still have yet to receive it. Can't believe you have a last minute grabs notepad - is that hospital bag all packed?
ReplyDeleteThat show looks crazy! I saw some ad for it, will have to check it out.
ReplyDeleteThe belly and milkshake combo is amazing. Almost there!
I have a picture of me using my pregnant belly to hold my breakfast plate! It really does become the best resting place!
ReplyDeleteChrisley knows best has been a game changer in the best way possible for us. Hilarious. I can't get enough. Happy Weekend pretty lady! Xx.
ReplyDeleteYour belly tray picture cracks me up! You're allowed to enjoy those milkshakes before that sweet baby comes! You deserve it!
ReplyDeleteBanana pudding milkshakes are my favorite! Now I want some Cookout for lunch!!
ReplyDeleteI have never heard of that show but I will be checking it out now!
ReplyDeleteThe code did work! Thank you! Also? That show is a definite guilty pleasure of mine!
ReplyDeleteWhen I saw number 3 I had a snort through the nose laugh moment! Your expression using the belly as milkshake tray was priceless! So you.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE that show!! Oh I am so jealous of that milk shake! Chick Fil A used to serve those but then they stopped. Boo!!!
ReplyDeleteYou look amazing!!!!

April,
ReplyDeleteI've read every post since you announced your pregnancy. I have loved watching your growing belly and see you experience the joys (and not so much) of pregnancy. You look radiant, and I can't wait to hear the good news.
PS--It looks like I need to watch this tv show!
xx Whitley
You will love having a carseat canopy! Having a baby took me to a whole new level of crazy and I was just astonished at the amount of people that will stick their head in the carseat or try and touch baby at which point you go into crazy momma bear mode lol. And that milkshake sounds amazing!

Oh my goodness...your sneak peak pictures have me dying to see the finished product! I absolutely love the sweet quotes you put in those beautiful picture frames!
ReplyDeleteYour selfies are always THEE BEST and the belly/shake selfie is no exception! :) Adorable and hilarious.
ReplyDeleteLoving the look of the room thus far! I know it will be gorgeous!!
Great, now i'm going to have to check that show out. (As if I need more tv shows to watch with the time I don't have, haha.)
Cheers,
Samara
That is the cutest milkshake holder ever!! I do not need to become addicted to another show, but that one might have to be added to my list!
ReplyDeleteChrisly has sucked me in too. I can't wait til baby girl gets here... So excited for y'all!
ReplyDeleteI love Chrisley!!! Best thing on tv right now!
ReplyDeleteI had that exact same car seat cover for Trace (got it free too (1 year ago)) and I couldn't use it at all after I had him. It was way too hot under there for him this past summer, but I broke it out this past fall/winter and it was fantastic. I'm sure you'll get much use out of it when the weather gets colder again. But for summer we bought a "sun and bug" cover -- it blocked out UV rays and kept bugs from biting him :)
ReplyDeleteHahaha, love the milkshake tray!
ReplyDeleteCan't wait to see the babe's nursery!
That milkshake...oh my. I LOOOVE the mint oreo shake from Cook Out. YUM!
ReplyDeleteI'll totally have to look into that TV show. I haven't seen it, but I need another good reality show in my life (not).
