Tim and I spent Christmas with his family in Memphis this year. This is the first time I have been away from my family for Christmas. My hormones kicked in a little Christmas Eve when I saw pictures of the celebrating my dad, stepmom and sister were doing without me but that passed fairly quickly. I had a really good time with Tim's family though. It's fun to have young kids around to play with. His nieces got a Kinect for Christmas and this pregnant girl kicked Tim's butt in Just Dance! When we left, the girls gave us a couple stuffed animals for the baby which was so sweet. Tim's mom also gave us a few things for the baby including some pacifiers, our bedding set for the nursery and items from when Tim was little like his Casey Jones teddy bear. We were also able to fit in the cradle that Tim's mother used for Tim and his sisters and the his sisters used for their kids. With the presents, dog and all the baby stuff, we had to do some Tetris-style loading when it was time to leave but we managed to get it all in.
We took a little time to peruse some maternity and baby stores yesterday around Memphis. First of all, I knew Pea in a Pod was expensive but wow! I didn't know it was hundreds of dollars for a shirt expensive. Needless to say, we did not spend much time in that store. What we did find was a great consignment store called Once Upon a Child. We got onsies, overalls, jeans and even a little hoodie (10 times total) all for under $40. It is all name brand and some of the items still have the tags on them. The best part is they have one in Overland Park so I will be making a trip there to find some more amazing deals!
Be sure to check back this week for the results of the poll. Right now the girls are winnig by a narrow margin. I can't wait to share the news!!
