I have two onesies, a pair of shorts, two footie sleepers, three pairs of socks, little crocheted converse and the doll's not even here yet.

Kieryn
Gee, this feels familiar.
Kieryn
Pics when I'm back on wi-fi.

Kieryn
The booties are gonna be red, and I can't find the socks online. Maybe I'll take a pic later.
Kieryn
Kieryn
I don't care if it's pastel, it fits Eli's theme.
Kieryn
Just got the butterfly/ladybug onesie and there's a stain on it. 
E-mailed the seller about it. I'm gonna wash it and see if it comes out, but.

Kieryn
The socks. They're so teeny! 
Kieryn
Just think how much fun I'm gonna be if I ever have kids of my own to do this for.
Kieryn
Hell, if I ever have nieces and nephews to do this for.
Kieryn
I can think of at least two kids right now that would be getting stuffed shipped to them on a regular basis if I could afford it.
Kieryn
Friggin' Italy, man. Pretty, but omg customs and shipping, help.
Kieryn
There's a third kid, but I dunno if I'm wanted, so.
Kieryn
But whatever.
Kieryn
AUUUGH OMG LOOK WHY DON'T I HAVE THE MONEY FOR THIS IT'S ELI AND HIS BUG JARS HELP 
Kieryn
Stain hasn't come out of the bug onesie yet and I've washed it three times. It's in the washer for a fourth. Oh sure, it's almost out, it's barely there now, but really? Three times? So the seller asked on an update and I sent that off. I don't know if I care if she wants to replace it or not, but I bought an envelope to send it back in if it comes to it.
Kieryn
The ladybug footie sleeper (the red one) just got here, but I've yet to open it 'cause brother's within hearing distance and he always gets suspicious if I open things shortly after getting the mail. I mean, it's my money, but I'm not allowed to spend it.
Kieryn
I'm gonna be in so much shit if he sees that doll arrive, oh my god.
Kieryn
I'm sure as hell not telling him how much it set me back if he does.
Kieryn
Opened the sleeper. OMG it's so precious. Might be a teeny bit big on the doll though, it's 0-3 months. The doll is supposed to fit in either that or newborn depending on brand. I have like three different brands here. >_>
Kieryn
Why isn't it Wednesday yet help.
Kieryn
Stain on onesie is now nearly non-existent. There's like a little dot by the butterfly's antenna that's easily missed if you're not looking for it. Seller decided to send me a replacement anyway.
Kieryn
So that's going out on Monday. The Converse booties should be here on Monday, the pastel sleeper on Tuesday.
Kieryn
Other people get this excited over real babies. So do I, but since real babies can't be a thing right now - or maybe ever - this is the next best thing.
Kieryn
Might keep me from going crazy, anyway.
Kieryn
This is cute too. 
Kieryn
Kieryn
Pastel ladybug sleeper just got here and it's too cute for words. How are real babies this tiny. Also yes, even shopping for a doll is helping.
Kieryn
Whatever works.
Kieryn
The happiest I've been lately was last Tuesday, going through racks of baby clothes.
Kieryn
And that dragon up there? Yeah. Hopefully Thursday.
Kieryn
This is just funny actually. Years ago I saved up $200 for a toddler doll, had her on layaway. Also bought her a dedicated teddy bear the day I finally brought her home.
Kieryn
So apparently if the doll is important enough, it gets it's own toys.
Kieryn
Yes, I still have her. Her name's Alysabeth, nicknamed Bits. The teddy bear is a jointed Boyds bear, Elliot.
Kieryn
They're both currently packed up for the move.
Kieryn
Elliot. The one I bought had fur in his eyes and looked half-asleep, but the morning of pick up the shopkeeper cut it without asking me. She thought it was 'cuter'. Yeah, no. 
Kieryn
Kieryn
It was a toss up between this and a quilt. 
Kieryn
I got the crocheted blanket three bucks cheaper with a coupon, but it's gonna take longer to get here.
Kieryn
Fits theme-wise a little better too.
Kieryn
Obviously no doll yet. There'd be a lot of screaming if it was here.
Kieryn
There's gonna be a lot of screaming regardless.
