so much for taking it easy. i was at my sister in laws last night for final dinner with the aunt and uncle. We had Grimaldi's pizza... yum! this is what the aunt and uncle requested haha. It was good and then SIL fed us cheesecake. omg. so, once we got home, went straight up to bed.

My house is still dirty from Saturday night. i have streamers on the floor, ping pong and MJ table still out, candy wrappers everywhere. ack! I will have to do a quick clean tonight before the boys come for dinner.

Anyway,



I have an obsession. Baby clothes. I can't help it, everything is so small and cute. Especially girl clothes! (one of the better perks of having a girl) I realize the mistake i'm making here by purchasing anything. I have a lot of time left to spend. not only that but other people love buying baby clothes and i am sure i will be getting some pieces here and there. not only that, i have 2 nieces who i am sure i can hand me downs from. I realize a baby can outgrow clothes in a weeks time. but unless you've been there, you won't understand.... i think every soon-to-be mother will have episodes where they buy things for their child they may not necessarily need.

I went over shopping twice already. It was during the time when the Gap/Old Navy items were on sale on top of the sale items. For gap, it was 25% off sale items, where for old navy, it was 50% off. 50%!!!!

This was before we knew the gender of the baby, so i picked up a lot of neutral basic items, like sweat pants and hoodies and stuff at Gap. It was fun, i didnt even have to spend money. Most items were 5 bucks and under!

So I got addicted. I went to Old Navy...score! This was even cheaper than Gap, not only the base price but the discount at 50%. I was in hog heaven. Again, being addicted, I decided to try another Gap. heres where i decided to be brave and start purchasing girl stuff. We had a very strong feeling it was a girl.... and i figured if it wasnt, i could return the items. So I started buying girl stuff.

it was fun, i must admit. i bought stuff for 0-3 mos, 3-6 and 6-9 and even 12mos. (this is how its categorized in my first picture, 4 piles) Since most of the items on sale were winter items, I thought ahead, and picked up a lot of 6-9 month items for the wintertime.

Oh man.. i couldn't stop myself. I hadnt even spent 200 bucks total yet. but i stopped here. i knew i was getting out of control....

here are some of my favorite purchases.

this is super cute in person.



again, cute but not too girly.



this is probably for a boy but who cares. i think its cute for any baby.


could you just DIE at this outfit? OMG.


here's the kicker. jae looooves this item. I swear, everytime he looks at it, his chest gets bigger because I swear his heart is literally swelling. sometimes he'll even read it out loud, as if he can't wait to be a "daddy". or maybe its just that he can't believe he'll be a daddy. either way, he just loves looking at this. at first, i said i wish they made a mommy one. but now, i dont even want one... i would rather let jae have his moment. hehe.



a few months later... i found a great deal at childrens place online. all their sale items were cheap...and there was an additional 15% off coupon plus free ship. lets get shopping. i only picked up basic necessities though.

$4.25


capri leggings. i love the lace on the bottom. would look cute under a dress. $4.25


Fleece pants, perfect for winter time. $2.54! I got two of these in different colors.


bought this more as a keepsake than anything. $4.25


the most expensive item, but i thought it would look cute with jeans. plus i love the tshirt over long T look. $5.94


My total was under $25 bucks. kind of boring choices but i think i picked up some good basics for a low price.

Now, this kid is not even born yet. I think im in trouble. I got 18 years to go. Must stop shopping!
