darling things

i made some great scores at TJ Maxx this past weekend:

my new butter dish that matches my salt & pepper shakers- yay!

alexis' coming home outfit (most likely)- it's seriously the cutest thing

some more of those organic onsies that are insanely well priced! and some cute Puma sockies.

and then- in the mail today i received my very own birdie barrett holder:

this cuteness was made by miss mandy and i just LOVE it! it matches the nursery SO perfectly it's scary! thank you mandy!!!

baby stuff

so- while stalking my own registry i stated noticing that a bunch of the clothes i registed for at babyGap/Old Navy were of stock or on sale/clearance. well i had a moment of panic because my shower isn't until August & all these clothes will be gone by then ::gasp::

so- a bunch of stuff was on sale (like literally 1/2 off) so i bought them myself & took them off the registry. go me.


isn't this darling? i have this obsession with all things giraff



i'm glad this was still in stock because i lurve it!

and this outfit is adorable- terry cloth & oh so soft. loves!

the weekend in review

#1. i practiced major self control & DID NOT buy this adorable Coach Hampton bag & wallet:



you're probably wondering how i resisted...and i really can't tell you. i had my 25% of coupon in one hand & the bag/wallet in the other & i just....didn't buy it.

the husband said "i don't know why you need it but, go for it"
the clerk said "oooh, that's one of my favs! perfecto for spring & summer!!!"
the fellow shopper said "oh yes dear- there is PLENTY of room in that for it to double as a baby bag!"

....and yet i couldn't allow myself to purchase it. maybe because (with the coupon) it would have cost exactely what our stroller is going to (that i have yet to buy) or maybe it's because i realized that i really don't need this purse (want, not need) or maybe alot of different things. who knows- all i know is that i don't have it but i still really want it.
i'm going to give my coupon to one of my husband's lady co-workers & forget about it. ::sob::


#2. i got my first stranger comment this weekend- yay!
Kay's clerk "when are you due?!"
me "sept 15th"
Kay's clerk "how exciting! i only asked because i could totally tell it's all baby bump- no question about it!"
me ::squee::

#3 i feel Alex kick & see her move more & more. i also tried to get the husband to feel (she was kicking HARD) but he didn't seem to get it. plus he was preoccupied with the NHL Play Offs. loser.

#4 we have purchased our mother's their mother's day gifts: a Swarovski figurine for the mother in law (this is a yearly thing) and a diamond Journey pendant & ring for my mother (thank you Kay's clerk)
they should both be pleased- i, however, am not pleased that one of the emeralds i my e-ring is so loose that it could fall out just by looking at it. looks like i'll be making a stop at Barmakian's this weekend with my warranty in hand. for real.


#5 is it bad that i have no interest in looking at baby clothes?! i went to a bunch of stores this weekend (inlcuding the always adorable babyGap) & i looked for about 5 min & then had to leave because i was bored. at this rate my child will be naked. poor thing.


aaaand i think that's it. my Level II u/s is tomorrow so we'll see what my stats are afterwards- otherwise, nothing new. still waiting on a closing date for the house (should have one this week) and then we can start "planning" things (ie: furniture & such)

and such & such :)
