The Playroom by MDB

Good Morning! Today, we’re thrilled to introduce Moms We Love, a new weekly interview series featuring our favorite chic mamas. We’re beginning with Arlene Lee, a beautiful mom-to-be and one of Million Dollar Baby’s fabulous Corporate Account Managers. Read on to discover which collection Arlene ordered for her nursery, the maternity jeans she swears by and more!

What will you be naming your new baby? Olivia (Korean Middle Name is TBD) Lee

When are you due? September 6… It’s so soon!!

Which nursery collection did you order for Olivia? Babyletto’s Hudson 3-in-1 Convertible Crib & Hudson Dresser Changer in White! I couldn’t resist on adding the Spruce Tree Bookcase.

What is it about this crib that you love? Modern, Simple and I LOVE the feet!

Have you made a decision on bedding? Yes! We’re going with Ollie & Lime’s Logan Collection without the bumper.
Let’s talk about a little about maternity… Any great clothing lines or pieces you’d recommend? William Rast’s Maternity Jeans – I’ve never had jeans so comfortable (and figure flattering!). Look for sales at A Pea In The Pod.

Favorite pregnancy/parenting books/blogs ? BabyCenter’s weekly emails and What To Expect When You’re Expecting. I learned VERY early that too much info is FRIGHTENING and quite daunting!  So I keep it to a minimum : )

As for Olivia, which children’s books are you most excited to read to her? The Children’s Bible, Love You Forever and The Giving Tree.
Have you been playing music for your baby? Not directly playing music for Olivia on the belly…I can’t help but to feel bad if she’s hating in there or that’s it’s too loud! I know… I’m a bit crazy!

Lastly, we’d love to know your choice of…

Stroller? Uppababy Vista 2012 Mica! After my nursery furniture, it’s the one item I’m MOST excited about!

Car seat?  Chicco KeyFit 30 – Not the cutest design but rated the best in safety… how can I go with anything else?

Baby monitor? Angelcare AC1100 – The Ultimate Digital Baby Monitor w/ Video, Sound & Movement…I know it’s over-the-top but worth my “First Time Mother” peace of mind ; )

Diaper bag? Lululemon Triumph Tote Bag – not the typical Diaper Bag… but better!!!
High chair?  EvenFlo Modern 300… it seems to have all the features of the expensive high chairs but is reasonably priced.

Thanks, Arlene!
We can’t wait to meet baby Olivia : )
