on grocery shopping and, well, all the other shopping

I am finally tired from my days of shopping. Thursday, I went to Inland Center, where I hit the Disney Store and picked up a Cars book (aged 18 months plus, but Eric adores pushing the noise buttons) and a necklace for me for my birthday:)
I also hit Target, got a nursing tank (looking for clothing options for the hospital and going home, I refuse to assume I will be in a gown the entire time) a pair of heart-shaped glasses, a couple of small toiletries for the hospital in case I shower or whatever...
I am trying to get my bag packed in the next couple of days, last weekend I said I wanted it done this week:) The car set is in, just have to get it checked. Still haven't made curtains *avoids Eric, who wants curtains* I need to finish the blinds first. Yep, still haven't adjusted the blinds.
Yesterday I went 'shopping' with Grandma. I honestly didn't assume she'd buy me anything, although knowing Grandma I knew she would... I just wanted to have a baby shopping day with her, and had waited months, literally.
We went to Babies R Us and Kissui, with a quick stop at Kohl's to try to return something. Got a couple of outfits and awe'd a lot of things at BRU, at Kissui the owner ended up giving a mini lesson on a Moby wrap.

Pretty much, a long piece of material you wrap around yourself and stick the kid in. Eric and I had registered for a carrier, and decided it was a bit expensive to get, so we re-researched. This was $40, and you can wear it when they are very small. Yay! Grandma also bought us our Diaper Dude diaper bag, and a pack of the Peepee Teepees (which should be entertaining to try out.) Grandma thought they were a genius idea.
She then realized she had not bought me a birthday present- ah, well, that is the life right now., I expected baby presents for my birthday and are OK with it- I'll celebrate the big 31 next year better.

Practically a year later I just learned how to google blog search for Kissui, and your blog came up! Hope the Moby Wrap worked out well, thanks for including us in your post! :)
