Happy New Year!

Its a new year and I have been thinking the last couple of weeks about how my life is changing in this new year. I am going to be someones Mommy, wow! That is HUGE!!! Mike and I went and bought a car seat on Saturday, can you believe it? A CAR SEAT!!! It was our first baby purchase. My mom called me on Saturday morning and said that she was at Big Lots and she saw that they had a couple of Eddie Bauer 3-in-1 car seats there for $100.00So, we went over there and bought this car seat. It looks just like the one above. I looked at Babies-R-Us online and they had the very same car seat for $180.00. I can't believe what a racket the baby market is. Stuff costs so freaking much its insane. We also decided to go over to Burlington Coat Factory and discovered that place is the Baby Mecca! They have a "Baby Depot" there. They have cribs, clothes, bedding, strollers, car seats, rockers... anything you can imagine there. Looking at all that stuff made me start to get excited about this little one coming. Then Mike and I made "the list" of what we need to accomplish before she gets here. It's kind of a long list and then we both realized that we only have 6 weekends left before we are in the danger zone. So, we have much to take care of within the next several weeks. I can't believe that this is all happening. I am freaking out a bit, but then I think... I'm not the first person to have had a baby, people do this every day. Don't sweat it.

We'll see how long that lasts.
