registery

So I have been convinced by my mom and sister that having a baby shower for your third kid is fine since it's going to be a boy and I've only had girls....I'm just going to be ok with that.

Today I went to Babies R Us to register for whatnot and thingamajiggers and it was so hard!

I'm not really one for asking for stuff from people be it help or sticks of butter so it was more difficult than I expected. I kept finding myself thinking..."i hope people don't think I actually expect them to buy this swing, I just have to ask for everything, right? is this a good bottle namebrand? I should have done more research....where am i going to put THAT? I definitely shouldn't get that!...what if no one comes to my shower and I look like a presumptuous dork for asking for anything?"....

imagine that. me overthinking something....

anyway after an hour and 45 minutes i get to the counter to return my ray gun and the girl says, "ok...this was a good start but you're going to want to come back at least one if not 2 more times to add to this because you've only registered for 38 items and we recommend 88 to 120 items...."

WHAT? all that internal drama for 38 items?

Everyone knows I don't need clothes. I'm not padding the list with things I don't need so I don't know what else to do....maybe I'll go back tomorrow and click 25 more packs of diapers or something....

i don't think I told you that Ruby fell on her face about a month ago on my parent's tile floor and her tooth got hit and 2 1/2 weeks later I look at her and her tooth is dark....really dark....

the dentist said the root wasn't dead or broken and it was a bruise.....

this sunday I looked at her again and her tooth is white! imagine that...I never expected a tooth to heal like that. I always thought once brown, always brown...what a pleasant surprise.

i have started a strange awakening....i will always be a DI first type of girl but, recently, I have started thinking, perhaps there isn't anything wrong with buying cute clothes from retail stores for my children to pair with great things from DI. When I saw the look on Dellah's face this morning when she put on her new Naartjie pants and they looked so cute and she felt so cute I was convinced. I have saved thousands of dollars on clothes. it's alright for the poor mites to feel shiny and new every so often.

unfortunately the type of person I am requires restraint in all things or excess is soon to follow...

I must be on guard. I must not get too comfortable with retail...

30 weeks pregnant.

have not worn maternity clothes yet because everything I had was basically maternity wear anyway.
