I’m not sure I can say todays outing was a pass or fail, but we did make it out to both Walmart and Costco, and we all went in to both places. I know thats only two places, but when the kids are really struggling, one of us waits in the van with them, and today, we didn’t have to. They weren’t the smoothest of shopping trips but we’ve definitely had worse. DEFINITELY!
We did Costco first and got everything we were looking for. The kids were even very polite and got cookies at the bakery. Always a win! The last thing we picked up was a big box of size one diapers for the little mister who is soon on his way <3 That was fun. He got a couple new sleepers as well, and Dekker got a really nice little Quiksilver 3-pack, including a pair of shorts (not swimming shorts), a polo, and a tshirt.
After we paid, we filled up with gas and then headed to Walmart where we had another successful shop. Not as much for groceries, but you could say I am now stocked up with ALL of the padding a new mom could possible as for, lol! I have travel toiletries so I don’t have to pack anything on the fly, we bought baby some socks since the little size obviously got packed in with a larger size of clothing, and we got him some playpen sheets, since his cradle is packed in our storage container, so he’ll spend the first couple of weeks of his life just sleeping in a playpen. (For the record, I am completely aware that there is NOTHING wrong with this! We just LOVE our cradle because its so pretty, and all of our kids have started off in it. But such is life 🙂 Very thankful that we have a beautiful, functional, brand new playpen. Baby officially has everything he needs. He can come anytime now.
We grabbed some fast food and came home. We are all so tired, but it was good to get out. The kids were happy for the change of scenery, but moods were LOW when we got home because they were wiped. Now they’re in bed, and I’m about to head off for a soak because I forgot my pelvic support belt and I am PAYING dearly for it! Off to bed soon for Brady and I too. He’s getting sick again. Pleeeaaase Lord, let round 2 stop with him!!!
