This Weekend

This past weekend Chad and I spent some time looking at baby stuff! We had a great time; although Chad was a bit overwhelmed by the enormity of BabiesRUs. On Friday night we went to the mall because I wanted to go to Motherhood Maternity. I was on a quest to get a “belly belt” and, of course, I was able to find one there. Let me tell you the “belly belt” is the greatest invention ever! It’s like a spandex that you wear around your waist that allows you to wear your pre-pregnancy clothes for a lot longer. The “belly belt” let’s you keep your pants unbuttoned and still hold everything in place. Chad called it a girdle, but I feel more comfortable using the term “belly belt”—it sounds cuter. So now I’ve been wearing pants and jeans that I haven’t been able to fit into long before I even got pregnant. It’s great for the self-esteem!

On Saturday we went to BabiesRUs. That store is massive, it has everything. Holy cow! It’s amazing how much stuff they can make for babies and believe me I wanted it all. Chad makes fun of me and says that I want 5 different things for the baby to sleep in. But I can’t help it. I don’t know what is needed and what isn’t…so I’ll just take it all. It was a great way to look around and get an idea of what we will register for. I have been looking online non-stop since I found out I was preggers, but it is so much nicer to be able to touch and feel the products I will be registering for. We found a bib that says “tax break”—isn’t that the funniest thing ever?!?! I’m totally gonna get it. It’s just so much fun looking at everything and deciding what we want. It makes it all so real. I am sure Chad will endure several more trips to the BabiesRUs before all this is over, but luckily for me he is such a good sport and goes along with basically whatever I want. Go Chad.
