There's no news on the referral front- most likely we have a while left to wait. That's fine- what's meant to be is meant to be.
So, I am making shopping plans in the meantime. See, I am pretty reserved with stuff for me- I spend most of my money on art supplies and stuff for the house. I'm a sundress kind of girl- it gets too hot to do much more down here.
For Cupcake, however, I can already feel that there's going be a challenge in restraining myself from buying ABSOLUTELY EVERYTHING. I am very grateful that clothes come in "jumble sizes" (3-6 months, etc.) so I am not tempted to buy every single outfit I love in every single size. And all the shoes... Shoes shoes shoes. I used to say that I wouldn't ever put a baby in anything but one-sies and overalls and comfy stuff, but I am already eyeing bows for hair and dresses and little socks (Tom don't panic, I won't get any bows that need to be glued onto our daughter's head. Just the ones that clip. And headbands.) I think my mother will be very pleased. But no white tights- I remember scratchy white tights from when I was a baby and I'm not going to subject Grace to that. Plus, it's Florida.
We have an incredibly huge outlet center an hour north, and that's where I will be headed. I scanned the VERY LONG list of stores. I've never heard of half of those, actually. Of course, I zero in on the usuals - Crabtree and Evelyn, Polo, anything with the word "chocolate" in it...
So where did you get YOUR baby clothes from? From what I have seen, both in previews and on the babies, there are some sharp dressers in the bunch. So fess up. Cupcake needs to keep up with all the cool kids!
Oh, and are there only 20 songs that Olympic skaters use? I'd love to see them skate to something a little less Easy Listening Favorites.
