The Non-Shower Shopping Day

June 21st, 2007

Saturday I got my non-shower day of shopping with my mom and grandma in. We hit Babies’R'Us first and I had to physically put them away from the clothing section. The child has more clothing than both Eric and I combined. He definitely does not need anymore. We made out like bandits. Between the multitude of coupons I had and the awesome sales woman who gave us three (count em, 3) 15% off coupons, we saved about $60 on everything. We then hit Target for one thing because, well, Babies’R'Us is the definitive end all, be all of baby stores and we managed to get pretty much everything there.

We also got all of his diapers in on Friday. They are washed, sorted by size, likelihood of use, plausible place of use (out or home) and folded in their proper prefold fold so all we have to do is whip them out, lay them flat and lie the child on them. The changing table is set up. The crib that we will probably never use is set up. The bag is packed. The co-sleeper has been set up just to see how we’d sleep with it there. I have read all my baby books twice. I am now completely ready for this child…at least, gear-wise.

10 days. Dear God, 10 days.

    Sounds like a fun shopping day! Much better than a baby shower.

    You are SO ready! Again (for the hundredth time) I am SO excited for you!
