Retail therapy, maybe?

When I was pregnant with Reyna, I was prepared. Well, as prepared as you can get for labor anyway. We had her crib, dresser, bookshelf and bedding purchased before we even had her ultrasound. Looking back, it was jumping the gun and a little too prepared, but whatever.

When we had our ultrasound and found out we were having a little lady, I shopped. Then I shopped and shopped more. I mean come on, Reyna couldn't come home from the hospital without her drawers stocked to the hilt! Not really, but looking back, buying and "stocking up" made me feel prepared for having a baby. I think. That's the conclusion I am coming to anyway.

Lately, I have been feeling a little panicked like, "oh my gosh, we are having a baby and I haven't done a damn thing to prepare!"

I feel like I need to do something to put my mind at ease and the only thing that comes to mind is to go shopping. But for what?! We don't need anything. I am planning on picking up a couple of random items that are looking a little worn and tattered, but I don't want to until we find out if we are having a little man or a little lady. I guess I could go with something gender neutral, but what fun is that? :) Just kidding.

In the next couple of weeks to come, I will make a Target run and stock up on those ever-so-soft swaddlers that I secretly wish came in my size. I will buy a package of newborn size paci's, not because we need them, but they will put my mind a little more at ease.

And really I do have a good hubs. We were @ Target last Saturday and while cruisin' thru the baby dept. I started to panic. He laughed it off and told me that he will be waiting for his list when the baby arrives and wherever I need him to go pick up baby items, I just need to tell him where.
