Shopping Spree

This past weekend we did a lot of shopping. It can pretty much be divided into the good, bad, and ridiculous.

The Good

We got the kid a car seat so I guess we are good to go. I am not sure why but this really made it seem real. Maybe because you can't bring them home without a car seat. After much deliberation down to when we were leaving the house...we ended up with this one. We also were able to get a bunch a stuff that we had not gotten from the registry, really exciting stuff like crib pads and bassinet sheets. Sunday, I went to the Carters outlet and got a bunch of sleepers and onesies. Let me tell you that is one dangerous store.

The Bad

I was/am in desperate need of new (read bigger) maternity clothes. It is not fun to spend a fortune on clothes you will only wear for a short while. The shirts I bought back in April are just not quite covering my belly at this point and we are starting to border on obscene. I was able to get some long sleeves tops at Mimi/Motherhood. I may still need another pair of pants for when it gets too cold to wear Capri's anymore to get me through til Nov but otherwise I should be good.

The Ridiculous

I had a gift card to Baby Gap burning a hole in my pocket so while we were out and about we made a pit stop. I picked up this and this which are too adorable for words. I am thinking of going with the brown one for the baby's coming home outfit. We have a super cute knit pumpkin hat that one of my mom's friends made which is a good fall look for the newborn crowd I think. The point where Frank thinks I really lost it, however, was in Gymboree. I insisted on getting a Halloween Costume for the baby. I am aware that he will be a few days old at most and that we will likely have it on him for a grand total of 2 minutes for a picture...but it will (it better be) his first Halloween and he needs a costume!

Not Dead

I am not dead. There has been so much going on this past month that I got away from blogging and then, well, it seemed overwhelming to get back into it.

Lets see...over the past month we have
- set up the nursery (with some minor things left to do)
- completely renovated our basement which is now a Man Land/playroom
- Had an amazing Baby shower BBQ with all our friends and family at our house
- Had events going on almost every weekend

So it has been a bit hectic. Add in the fact that work has been crazier than usual as everyone needs school physicals and I do not know if I am coming or going, but this will be my attempt to jump back in to the world of blogger.
