Today's Shopping

Today I attempted to do some shopping.  I say "attempted" because it was the most unsuccessful shopping trip I have been on in a long while.  I went with a mission to get some 0-3 baby clothing for little Benjamin.  I started at Macy's.  I think that someone else came through just before me and bought all of the newborn and most of the 0-3 clothes!  I was able to pick out a few things, but I did not get too much because I knew I was going to Carter's also.

Then I went to Toys R Us in order to pick up this space shuttle toy that Nathan really, really wants.  We plan to give him the toy as a gift when he comes to the hospital.  This way he has something new to play with while staying with his grandparents for 3 nights.  Well, wouldn't you know it, Toys R Us was out of this space shuttle!  They had every other Imaginex toy except this one.  I even had an employee check the item number for me (I did have an in-store coupon that I wanted to use).  No such luck!  I looked around here for baby clothes too, but could not find anything I wanted.

Next, I went over to Carter's.  I picked up several outfits for the baby in 0-3, but ended up putting them all back and leaving.  I was indecisive over what to buy.  I wondered what the weather would be like and also what size Benjamin would be.  It's really hard to tell because Nathan lost weight in the first 2 months of his life.  He wore newborn clothes for quite a while!  Surely, this baby will not be the same.  So, I made the decision to wait it out.  I can use Nathan's old clothes if I need some sooner than I can get back out to the baby store. 

Last, I headed towards home, stopping off at a drive thru for some food.  I was so hungry and wanted to get home and eat before my mother brought Nathan back.  I splurged and got a whole lot of junk food, and I ate it all!!!  I will probably suffer later from all of the salt, and will have to return to good food for dinner and tomorrow.

It's looking like I have become unable to make a decision again.  I had this problem quite a bit when I was pregnant with Nathan.  I think we went through 3 different bedding sets and looked & looked for strollers.  Well, at least this time it is starting much later! 

Only 21 days to go!
