Weekend started just as it normally does for us, Friday after work. First Richard and I ran over to The Palace Courtyard to check something out for our cafe, then we went to Buy Buy Baby! We looked at cribs and I almost peed my pants at how expensive they are! Cheapest one was a mini crib and it was $259! The most expensive one was $799! I really think I am going with the one I found and like at Walmart.com. It is a crib/changing table combo that converts to a toddler bed/daybed and then a full bed. I have never had a brand new crib, so I guess I have never known how expensive they are!! Plus the crib set I love, Frogs, is $89 plus another $50 for the mobile and diaper stacker, all online at walmart.com only. We found a stroller that we want. It is like a jogging stroller with the big wheels and it comes with an infant carseat that attaches to it until the baby is big enough to sit in the stroller without scrunching down. We found the pack and play we like and will probably use as a bassinet until the baby is big enough to go into the crib. It has a removable rocking vibrating bassinet with a changing table. Then I found the perfect baby bath! It is a baby jacuzzi with an attached shower head! I still have no idea which bottles, breast pump or baby monitor I want, but I have a 6 monthes to figure that out. I do alot of research online and then go check them out online.
Saturday was the grape harvest so Richard, Rebecca, ReAnna and Kaitlyn all headed out to the vineyard at 5:30 am. Christopher, Amberlin and I got up around 8:00am after someone sat in their car and honked for the person inside to come outside at 7:45 am. Totally rude in a world of cell phones! We headed to McDonald's, then on to Winco and then we headed to Walmart to get Christopher new socks. I found some baby socks on clearance for $1.50!! Whoo hoo! Plus I picked up some candy! I have this huge craving for Milk Duds!! What is up with that?!? Then we took the kids to Babies R Us and back to Buy Buy Baby. The kids ran around and kept saying, Mom, Dad look at this. Look at this, what about this. It was crazy. We found alot of the stuff we liked at Buy Buy Baby at Babies R Us, price was either the same or a little higher. Richard really likes the Baby Bullet for making homemade baby food.
Sunday was the primary program and we did an EXCELLENT job! We got rice krispie treats for doing so great! One of the boys in my class was suppose to near his testimony on the scriptures and when he got to the podium he took out his Book of Mormon, opened it up and started just talking about the page. He has a small speech problem, but we all understood, Jesus Christ, scriptures, Heavenly Father, true, stories. It was great because his mom had written out his testimony and he put it under the book and started talking! It was GREAT!! He is such a character! I love that little kid! When his mom told him I was pregnant he said uh oh! They called Amberlin, Sister Fisher one time in primary to come get her pencil or something and he was very animate that I get up there and get my pencil! He kept saying " Go Sister Fisher, go!"
Right before Richard and Rebecca headed to choir Richard told me that I was to relax and take a nap when I got home. So I did, of course after lunch was made for the kids. I was up there watching tv and dozing! It was very nice. Kids kept coming up and asking me if I need anything and Richard kept bringing me snacks. I find if I keep food in my stomach, I do not get sick. At about 5:15 Richard came up and woke me up for dinner. He led me downstairs and then made me close my eyes until I got into the dining room and he said open your eyes. Him and the kids threw me a Pregnancy Shower! There was pigs in a blanket, mini pizzas and soda. Plus a cake! The kids all got me some little gifts for the me and the baby. Richard even got me my first pack of diapers! The funniest one was the hot wheels key chain that made noise. I can see Christopher "showing" the baby how to play with it and forgetting to give it back. I got bibs, onsies, an outfit and a bunch of baby toys. Plus hot chocolate with marshmellows, candles, vitamin b12, and a clip for me. Pretty awesome.
I have been feeling like the kids really do not care about the baby, so this helped me to realize that they do, but in their own way.
So how was your weekend? Mine as usual was CRAZY!
