Hi! Did you get my response to your tax question on Facebook? I'm so sorry it took me a while to get back to you, but I was out of town and I have been crazy busy with work since I got back. Sorry it's not a simple answer, but they rarely are when it comes to taxes. Let me know if I can do anything to help.

How are you doing? Good I hope. I saw the nursery pics on your blog, and it's coming along so nicely. We are just starting to clean out rooms so we can get started on the nursery, and I've been looking for furniture and bedding. I remember you liked the Baby Cache line at BRU, but what furniture did you end up going with? Do you like it so far? I like the Baby Cache but I think I want a hutch for my dresser/changer and it doesn't look like they offer one.

I got it!! thank you so much, just didn't get a chance to respond yet.  I'll check out that stuff you sent but I am probably going to have questions, hope you don't mind!!  my sister used to do our taxes but she doesn't know we did IVF so I couldn't have her do our taxes last year or this  year.

I'm doing good! how are you?  excited about your baby girl?  so much fun!!  I ended up getting something else.  Of course, I can't remember the name of it, baby brain.  I will send you the link tonight, it's new, just came out in Nov/Dec but I love it.  can't wait to see how things come along in your nursery, do you have a blog by any chance?

OK, I'm glad you saw my response. Bring on the questions if/when you have them. I would love to help out. 

I am so excited about my baby girl! My Mom and I are really close, so I was hoping to have a daughter of my own someday. I had always pictured a baby girl nursery in my head when we were TTC, and now I actually get to make it happen. Fun! All the choices outh there are a bit overhwelming though.

No, I don't really have a blog. I started one back when I was on TTTC, but I only made 2 entries and kept it private. I should start one now though to record everything and be able to share with family and friends that don't live nearby. I'll let you know if I do.

Thanks! so sweet of you!  I really didn't want to use some random person and being most ppl don't know we did IVF, it was hard to ask for a rec plus, everyone I know uses my sister! 

I actually had a hard time finding bedding but I didn't want to spend a crazy amount on bedding, I saw tons of stuff in the $300 range that I loved but w my job so unstable, I couldn't do it, nevermind all the IVF debt still lingering. 

 You should!  if anything, you daughter can look back on it, consider it a journal.  I like to blog about things my dh and I are doing or thinking so she can read back and see how excited we were for her to arrive!  So, she can read and relive the time she isn't here.

It's no problem. Yeah that would be hard if everyone you know uses your sister.I agree about the bedding. I've found some that I like but it's more like $400-$500, and we cannot spend that much right now. Hopefully I will find something else I like for a reasonable price. I will definitely put starting a blog on my to do list. It's just such a big list right now, I don't know when I'll get to it. Take care!
