Retail Therapy

I highly recommend it. So often I go to the store and all I buy are groceries, supplies, diapers, clothes for Molly or the new baby....maybe something for myself but nothing really nice.

Slept fairly decent last night, woke up a bunch to use the bathroom but wasn't in a ton of pain and fell back to sleep easily. Overall a good night. So I woke up this morning feeling really good. John and I had talked about going to the outlets over the weekend, but I was not up for it at all. Saturday I was having a ton of contractions, to the point that I actually thought something was getting started. A nice warm shower put an end to that, but it left me sleepy and exhausted. Contractions continued through the night, but still at no regular intervals. I have a classic case of "false labor" although I liked the website I found that said they didn't like that term and considered the entire last month "pre labor" since everything that is happening is prepping the body for the real thing, and if you have enough of these stupid fake contractions it can actually make real labor easier. Keeping fingers crossed.

Anyway, back to shopping. So I woke up this morning, texted Lisa to see if she was still interested in heading out to Clinton and was off. I heard a rumor that Kate Spade was having a 50% off the sale price special, and suddenly I needed a new diaper bag. I was just going to use the one I had last time, but after using it for a year with Molly it is pretty grungy. I just needed a good excuse to get a new one...50% off is as good of an excuse as any in my book. So here it is....Lisa says it's trendy.



There were so many to choose from. I really liked the New York Striped bag, but it had no zipper and I just need a zipper. So I'm excited about my new bag and overall it was a nice little trip. Got to see Lisa and Keller, which is always fun. On the way home Molly and I stopped at "Donald's House" for some nuggets, french fries and a juicy box. Molly was extremely well behaved, ate all 4 of her nuggets and was the most pleasant she has been in days. I think she was just so happy to be out of the house. And it was nice to spend some 1 on 1 time with her before the little guy arrives. I was also able to keep her awake for the 20 minute ride home, we stopped half way between home and the outlets, which means I get a full naptime at home. Yeah. I should be resting myself, but like I said, feeling good.

So that's it from here....
