There are new prints available such as the Platinum Petals, Charcoal Roses, Scarlet Petals, Mister Grey, Tokidoki in Fairytella, and they brought back the popular print of Cobalt Blossoms. What is it about the blue prints but they seem to be really popular. I couldn't keep the Royal Envy print in stock! I love all the new prints and one of my favorites is the Charcoal Roses!

Whether you're planning an intimate gathering of friends and family or an all-out bash, your baby's first birthday celebration is bound to be special — at least for you and the other adults and older kids in his life!
Yes, a first birthday party is really for parents and their guests. Your baby won't remember this party, and may even be overwhelmed by it. But that doesn't mean you can't all have fun. For party planning suggestions and tips on keeping your baby (and young visitors) comfortable, read on.
Who to invite
Your 1-year-old may be scared and a bit shy of strangers, and strange or new places. Despite liking other babies, they won't understand how to play with them yet. They will enjoy individual attention and likes to make you laugh. These factors often convince parents to opt for an intimate, low-budget family party or small gathering of relatives, close friends, fellow parents, and neighbors.
But no matter how many guests you have, keep in mind that your 1-year-old will want a lot of your undiluted attention. This is especially true if she's feeling overstimulated by a large crowd of well-wishers.

According to a poll of more than 5,000 parents, the amount spent on a baby's first birthday party is all over the map, from less than $50 to more than $500. A majority — 61 percent — of parents spent $200 or less, 25 percent spent between $200 and $500, and 11 percent dished out more than $500.
The amount you spend is up to you, and depends on what kind of party you want to have for your child. Keep in mind that food is the main thing that drives costs up, followed by decorations and the cake. Don't feel pressured to spend more than you can afford — small is beautiful at this age!

It is a personal preference but a bassinet has some advantages for a new baby. When they are tiny, your baby may seem cozier in a cradle or bassinet than a full-size crib. He may look particularly un-cozy in a crib with no extra bedding such as blankets or quilts which are not recommended for your sleeping baby because they raise the risk of SIDS (sudden infant death syndrome).
You might also appreciate the small size of a bassinet or cradle compared to a crib. If space is limited, this makes it easier to have your baby to sleep in the same room with you. The American Academy of Pediatrics now recommends that babies sleep in the same room as their parents (although not in the same bed), because it's thought to reduce the risk of SIDS. Rooming-in also makes evenings easier for breastfeeding moms.
If you use a cradle or bassinet, make sure it's well supported on the bottom so it can't collapse. And it should have a wide base to keep it from tipping if someone bumps against it. Keep in mind the manufacturer's weight and size limitations, making sure to move your baby to a crib when he's too big for the smaller bed. If you can't find manufacturer's guidelines — because your cradle has been handed down, for example — a 20-pound limit is reasonable.

Kate Middleton, the Duchess of Cambridge, does not know what the sex of the baby is. I think that her and William want it to be a total surprise! What do you think it will be? I am opting for a boy!
I also read that Kate intends to have the birth natural instead of electing to have a caesarean birth. Palace sources said that Kate intended to use hypnotherapy to ease the pain of delivery.
I found it interesting the way that the birth will be announced and the order. The first indication that the Duchess has given birth will come when an aide leaves the hospital carrying a piece of paper with details of the baby's sex, weight and time of birth. The note will be relayed to Buckingham Palace, where it will be placed on an easel.

The news will then be put out on the Palace's Twitter feed. Aides said no electronic communication would be made until the official notice was released. "It's important this is done with a degree of dignity and with half an eye on the historical significance," they said. No announcement of the birth will be made until after the Queen, other senior members of the Royal family, and the Middleton family have been informed. If the Duchess gives birth at night no announcement is likely until the Queen has woken.
Bookies have taken a stream of bets that the baby is a boy after the Duchess was reported to have bought a blue pram. However, a royal source said: "The Duke and Duchess don't know the sex of the baby and they have decided not to find out beforehand.
I remember following Princess Diana when she was pregnant and having William. My daughter was born about 6 months earlier than Prince William so I watched and read a lot about her and was always fascinated with her. The baby, which will be third in line to the throne, will be born in the same London hospital wing where William himself was born to Prince Charles and princess Diana.
There have been pictures created from the combing of photos of what people think that the Royal Baby will look like. With William and Kate, I am sure that the Royal Baby will be adorable.
