Returning and exchanging shit there is as difficult as I've heard.
I ended up getting basically NOTHING off my registry at my shower. I have so much stuff I still need and I'm kind of annoyed with all the running around I'm having to do.
Today was not fun.
I am so sorry rex. Is the Target feud because you didn't get gift receipts?? I know that's when shit gets bad there.
Enlist someone to drive you around to do returns if you can! My sister was my chauffeur and we were so tired when it was done, but it was a nice day with her, and she carried things and helped me choose what to exchange things for. Because in addition to getting things I didn't want/need at my shower, they were from stores that had practically nothing I DID want/need, and I was trying to match products off my reg with the next best thing where I felt I could, or else I just got diapers and paid out of pocket for registry items that were important to me.
My SIL did come with me which made it so much more bearable. And she helped me process where to go and what to do. If I went alone I would have been SO overwhelmed.
Now if only the clothing stores would get some fall clothes!

I made 3 large orders of maternity clothes online...I CAN NO WAIT for the packages to arrive so that I can try everything on, and start wearing clothes that actually fit. I have been getting by with a beband on my pants/shorts, and wearing a lot of summer dresses. But I feel like I look like a stuffed sausage some days! haha. I cant wait to have clothes that are comfy and fit.

Oh good for SIL helping!
And clothes for baby? Because babygap has Fall 1 in. If you like their clothes. (I have friends at corporate ;-) )
I love baby gap so much. It's my wallet that does not. I could easily spend $200 there right now. The 20% off is tempting me to get a few things. But after having to spend $500 on other baby things we need I feel like I am bleeding money.
Somehow I'm a mom to a little boy and not a baby. I'm not sure when this happened.
Here he is, post haircut with all his long, bleach-blond locks gone.
In other news, I've interest in almost everything I've posted on Craigslist. This makes me happy. I'm possibly selling the sofa table and end table tomorrow. If I sell it all, we'll have made more than enough to pay for Bitlet's new closet and maybe some furniture.

Everything is starting to stress me out from the copious amount of registry posts that make me feel like I should be more proactive with what I am registering for to me googling what I should be feeling and not actually feeling as many kicks that I am supposed to or whatever.
I think it's because if the amount of stress happening in my life, and I need to just relax a little.
