Total Score!

Thank you my "Little" Stephanie for blogging about this sale! She held my hand as we (and about 15 other ladies) dug through buckets of various sized children's clothes!

See, after Brynn was born, I thought "why do I need these baby clothes, I don't" So I got rid of all my baby stuff...clearly my thinking was muddled.

I filled a bag (grocery store plastic bag size) up with 30 outfits, two jackets (one denim & one leather - for Brynn) and 5 shoes (okay so there were a few fuzzy slippers) I also managed to grab some jogging pants for Kali & a cute dress for Brynn. I paid a whopping $12 for the bag! Whatabargainforme!


I figured since I saved so much money - I might as well go buy some other things. I took Kiersten shopping with the remainder of her gift cards from her birthday - and decided that we could made a headband cheaper than the $6.99 they were charging at Target, so we crossed the street to JoAnns - and got the 69 cents worth of material to make her a headband...but then I saw some really cute baby quilts and decided that I wanted to make one...well, I'm not crafty - in fact, Ross calls my crafty ideas "crappy" - and well, frankly, he's being polite! Because I am the opposite of crafty - in fact, I may be stretching it to make a headband for Kiersten - but I couldn't see buying 69 cents worth of material for $6.99 - yah - call me thrifty! Either way - I'm roped into using my sewing machine.

As I was shopping I wondered if, instead of nesting - being the "cleaning" stereotype it is - maybe MY nesting is more of a SHOPPING scenario? Lets hope.

Oh - and for the record -- I think that whatever ridiculous doctor decided that being "intimate" in the last stages of pregnancy - would help "induce" the baby to come earlier - was first of all - A MAN - and secondly - had a few children of his own - and knew the intimate depravity involved immediately after the birth of a child...furthermore, I think that he had heard enough women complain about comfort levels toward the end of a pregnancy that he realized a woman would do ANYTHING to speed up the due date - so this MAN "doctor" decided to throw in the "be intimate" bull-junk to help the baby birthing progress along...After testing this theory - not just on this baby - but --- well, everyone - I feel like I need to get a tattoo of
"gullible when pregnant" stuck on my forehead - because - YES, I will try it all - but quite frankly - I don't think a baby will come until a baby is ready to come.
