I went shopping today with my sister in law and my mother in law and they took me to the baby consignment shop where my sil works part time. I got to go on a shopping spree! YAY! See, since my sil has a huge credit from working there and always going back to trade clothes she was able to just allow me to pick and choose and it comes off her tally. Not one cent was spent today, and I am embarrassed at how many baby clothes I have! I must have over 20 pairs of shoes that will probably never get worn! But at least they can all be traded right back in for larger sizes. This is the best part of shopping for me. To go and have that much fun with people that you love, and knowing none of them spent a dime and we ended up with all of this loot! Another cool thing is that alot of these items were either Gymbo, or Gap, or Old Navy..just really good quality stuff that you know that people took such good care of. I think that the baby will be completely dressed all of the way up until she is 9 months old!
I came home and washed all of it again and showed Mike all of it and he is very impressed at how much we got and how much money we saved by doing it this way. I also found the bassinet that I want and my sil and mil are going to give it to me for my shower they are planning. It is also 2nd hand, but you can't tell. And really, do I need to go spend the 100.00 on something that will be used for a couple of months?
The only things I really want to buy now are just plain onesies to wear under the jammies, and also tights and socks..those kinds of things..I need new burp clothes, but I can probably make those..I need to get this child a dresser, that is for sure! I went all of this time without Matthew having a dresser as we hung every single item he had, but I don't want to do that again..it gets to tiresome to constantly hang everything..and I would just leave things in baskets.
On another note, Mike is taking both of my furbabies to get the deep scaling cleaning on their teeth tomorrow. I am nervous for my chunky monkey Riley to be put under. I worry that he won't do well...but he really really needs it. I can no longer cuddle with him as his breath is just so bad. I mean bad. I just really hope they do well and come back out of the anesthesia okay. I had to feed them super early tonight per doctors orders since they are going at 7:30 in the morning..Please let them be okay and come out of everything alright. I don't know what I would do without them.
Calling this a night..I am so sleepy!
