Shopping!

[Linnis]

I think we had more fun than we planned going baby shopping yesterday. We had some gift cards and we had to spend them within 60days so out we went. I got some really cute outfits for next spring/summer on clearence, like this shirt with really cute turtles and frogs on it with matching shorts. I got 5 outfits and not one of them's blue.

DH found a car, that talks. It says ouch if you drop it...hehe, hopefully it'll still talk once the baby will be old enough to enjoy it.

The only disappointing thing is there is about four times the selection for girls. I mean even things that could go either way like ducks, had frilly sleeves so it was for a girl.

What's wrong with blue? Even wearing blue people would call David a girl.... because of his big round eyes... I couldn't figure that out, he'd have on ALL blue items and they'd still do it.

Must admit, I liked my babies in white

I got lots of blue for the baby shower and it's all sky or baby blue, I wanted something different. One outfit has a lot of orange in it...basically I don't want to be stuck in the blue for boys and pink for girls, that's all.

I did sage and yellow and creme for my little guys. And yes - there's more clothing for girls than boys...very true!

Lol, my girlfriend always dresses her daughter in pink and people always say "what a cute little boy."

Sounds like you had fun, Linnis!
Yay shopping!

I'm with you on not wanting it to be all pink for girls and all blue for boys. I guess that's why Natalie got called a boy a lot when she was smaller...sometimes she wore blue (but with flowers on it!) and yellow and green.

If I have a boy I hope I will have enough money to shop a little for clothes for him.... I have so many girl clothes it's insane...but I think I got rid of lots of my baby boy clothes- because I thought we we're probably done having babies

I like real soft cotton things- to be all snuggly....

Hi I'm having a boy and did not want it to be blue only and I'm still thinking about themes I'm 5 months now but don't know when I should start preparing

Glad to hear you had fun!

So far all we've bought during the pregnancy is a soft caterpillar toy that plays classical music... so cute!

Otherwise we have a few bits of clothing in bright colours (I'm not a big fan of pastels, let alone boy=blue, girl=pink), that I picked up here and there on sale. And a bag of white patterned clothes that MIL went out and bought as soon as she heard

My family has a history of going into labor 5-6 weeks early, all the women big or small. I'm 7 months 1 week pregnant so I figure we'll have to get the stuff sooner rather than later.

When DH gets paid this week, I'm picking up the crib mattress and the plastic containers for storage under the crib for blankets etc. I want to begin washing and putting away some stuff to get it out of my living room.
