Crib, Dresser, Clothes, Swollen Ankles, check!

First, I just wanna say that the heartburn's still goin' strong. So according to wivestales, Chipmunk is gonna be a hairy baby. I'm guessing a werewolf by the time he's born. And I think I finally narrowed it down to chocolate as the culprit. Bummer, huh?

Anyways....Mom and I went shopping today after work. It was fun. I like having a shopping buddy that is interested in stuff that I like...not that Aaron's a bad shopping buddy, but sometimes I need more than "uh huh" and "whatever you think." Plus, I didn't have to look at anything I didn't wanna look at :) We went to Burlington Baby Depot to look at cribs and dressers, picked out a nice set, bought it. First shopping trip together, already a success. Then we went to Motherhood Maternity and JCPenney...got new pants, a few new sweaters and a few new shirts. Success again! And here I thought that this pregnant shopping thing was too hard, not as fun, etc. All you need is the right shopping buddy. Then again, Grandma's are a lot more excited about these kinds of things than Dad's are :)

The only downfall to our shopping trip was seeing how swollen my ankles were after about an hour in the mall. Now, I'm sure that wearing ankle socks, tall boots, a winter coat and walking around in a 75 degree (or more) mall didn't help. But today I witnessed what my ankles will be looking like in about 2 more months. Mom said she had toximia when she was pregnant with me. Her ankles and feet and everything were so swollen that she had to take time off before I was delivered and relax and put her feet up.....wait, I think I like the sound of that. Relax and put my feet up? Yeah, like that would happen. I'm too busy making dinner, doing laundry, letting the dogs out.....

But my ankles look fine now :)

Rats! No clues as to what you might have gotten me when you went shopping! It's not a true success until you find that little something that screams "Aunt Maura needs one of these!"

You didn't mention it, but while you were at these baby stores, did you happen to register for anything? Inquiring minds wanna know!

Forgot to mention...I'll eat your chocolate for ya til you can do it on your own. It's the least I can do to help!
