My friends, I think that I can now saw that I have officially entered my "nesting" phase of pregnancy. It seems lately that all I have wanted to do is get the baby's room ready, sort through clothing, start making curtains and a quilt, etc. The logical question to ask is "You already have two girls...What could you really possibly have to do? What could you possibly need?" Truth be told, A LOT!!! It is true that I have no shortage of baby girl clothing. However, most of the items I have were used not only by Emma and Ellie but by my cousins as well...After having a minimum of 3 previous owners they are not in the greatest shape for baby #3. Sooo...I have been doing a lot of sorting, a lot of throwing away, and a lot of hanging and folding. I realized that I have a lot of clothes starting at about 6 months and up but not a lot of newborn. I have also been in desperate need of a swing or bobby seat, a new crib sheet set, and just basic essentials such as sleepers, diapers, etc. Being the type of person I am, however, I do not look at this as a bad thing but a very grand opportunity to go SHOPPING!!! And that is exactly what I did today!!
I made a trip over to Once Upon A Child (OUAC) near where I work. I had never been to this particular store location and was hoping that I could find something useful. Clothes...a swing...a bouncy seat...anything at all that wouldn't break the budget!! Well...I am happy to say that I hit the baby jackpot!!! I found the GRACO baby swing that I have been yearning after for quite a while now...I had refused to spend the $100.00 at Walmart on it, but was more than happy to spend the $40 that they were asking at OUAC. I also found several sleepers and outfits that looked brand new for just a fraction of what they would cost anywhere else. WOOHOO me!! To celebrate my wonderful luck and shopping skills I ventured to the nearby coffee shop afterwards and got a (decaf) latte. Nummy. What a perfect afternoon :D
