I Have a Confession

I am an out of control, impatient OCD freak. I want to get the nursery ready - now. I want the furniture we bought for the nursery put together the day we buy it. I want to nest. It's an uncontrollable urge that I can't beat. My darling husband tells me I'm impatient and am NOT allowed to put together anything because it's his "man job". If you know me, you know that's the worst thing you can do to me. I'm an instant gratification kind of girl and I like to do things myself. Since Erik will grump at me if I defy his requests (which I've considered many times) I put my energy into something else. Shopping. I'm not necessarily buying anything yet (I mean, I do, just little things here and there), I'm just highly organizational about what will be bought. Pictured below is a chart that I created to keep track of what clothing I registered for on my Amazon and Carter's registry. I have clothing items listed vertically, and horizontally are the sizes. I put a tally for everything on my list. 3-6 month onesie added, put a tally in the box. This way I can see what I need to register for more or less of. Also, at the very bottom of my list, I calculated what age the baby will be in every month. Example: January 23-February 23 = 1 month. This way, I can tell what kind of clothes I need for each month. Sweater? Shorts? Boots? I calculated Trevor's age for each holiday so I can include an outfit for said holiday. P.S. - I'm totally on love with the Christmas Eve pajamas I picked out as well as the Christmas dinner outfit. Trevor will be 11 months during this time, so I registered them in size 9-12 months. DO YOU SEE HOW INSANE I AM?! Seriously, someone please tell me I'm not alone. I don't know, I just really enjoy organization. Siiiigh.

  1. Just a warning but if your boy is anything like Jackson the sizes won't match the age. Jackson is 12 months old right now and he wore 12 month clothes at 7.5 months old. At 12 months old he's wearing 2T in some outfits and 18m in others.
