If you read here often (or follow me on Twitter) then it probably comes as no surprise that I’m expecting baby #2 at the beginning of August. Well – we just found out on Wednesday – it’s a boy! YAY!
He is huge… measuring 12 days ahead already at 20 weeks. (What can I say, we are a family of overachievers, LOL.) But now that we know that Raya is having a little brother, that means it’s time to check out some new, boy-friendly gear.
We didn’t go all-out pink with Raya or anything, but there are always a few things you want new for the new baby. So that’s why I’m drooling over Carter’s new Home Collections – and trying to decide what kind of baby bedding I like for the new little mister’s nursery.
I’m loving the Monkey Rockstar collection, which has got the 4 piece bedding set (the quilt, sheet, dust ruffle & blanket), extra sheets & blankets, and matching decor items like the lamp, rug and wall decals. It’s definitely a boy collection!
I have to admit that I still like going neutral, though. I love the In The Pond collection. The 4 piece set has the quilt, sheet, dust ruffle and a diaper stacker, and the extra bedding and room decor items are available in that collection as well.
Of course they have sweet girls’ collections too, like a Fairy Monkey set. But Raya has graduated to her toddler bed. Carter’s has adorable toddler bedding sets that include a comforter, pillow case and flat and fitted sheets with butterflies, ladybugs, fire trucks, and dinosaurs.
We already love Carter’s gear. Raya has been wearing Carter’s since she was born – and their comfortable styles are perfect for play. And pizza. Obviously. ;)

Honestly, since LC is 4, I’d use the gift card for clothes rather than the home collection. I looove the little plaid shorts, and this sweater with the anchor…too cute!!

I was just at Carter’s yesterday. I bought a ton of cute stuff for not that much money…all of the clearance was an extra 20% off and they had already clearanced some spring stuff.
I love Carter’s clearance sales for clothes for my nephew – seriously, they stop growing at some point, right?
Also, I put in a vote for the pond room theme. You already have one water-loving baby – I’m guessing the next one is going to be a little fish too!
Carter’s stuff is great!
Loving the Baby Bear collection! Thanks for the giveaway!!
I used to work for Carter’s a loooong time ago! I love the baby boy sunny safari :) always loved the collections they came out with!

I’m partial to the Safari Sky myself, but then I have a family of boys! Love Carter clothes though! They are so soft and cozy.
