~Did Some Shopping~

             

Well, I went and did some shopping today.  Actually, my mom, Rowan and I did... But it was all for Baby Zachary!

Yep, we went to Babies-R-Us today and spent some money... Okay, so I spent some money... And it wasn't just some... lol.

I didn't even purchase a million things... Like I secretly wanted to.  All I bought today was a double stroller, car seat and an extra car seat base.  And let me tell you, it was expensive.  I can't believe that they charge you an arm and a leg for something you really need... It reminds me of the saying:

"You get screwed at the drive-thru"...

LOL.  Actually, for what I spent, it was a pretty good deal.  See, I went in there thinking that I was just going to get a single travel-system stroller (a travel-system is a stroller than can have the car seat on it and sold that way).  Well, I found one that was a last years model... They wanted a whole $30 more for this years model and it was the same thing!!  After I chose which one I wanted, my mom and I went to look at some other stuff.  Well, we came across the double strollers and I decided to really look at them, since I have been debating if I should get one or not.

Well, I did some comparing and pro/con stuff... And found that if I was going to spend so much on a single stroller for one child, why not spend about $40 more and have an extra seat for Miss Rowan.  That way, when I went somewhere by myself (or not even by myself), I wouldn't have to worry about where she was and I'd be free to do what I needed, knowing both of my kids are in a stroller.

So, in the end, I ended up getting a double stroller.  The only thing was that it was sold just as a stroller, not with an infant car seat.  Well, come to find out, I was actually saving myself some $15 by buying the stroller, car seat and extra baseall separate.  Get this, the double stroller travel-system (comes with the seat) was $250.  On top of that, I'd have to spend $40 for an extra base for our extra car that Hubby would be driving.

The stroller I got was $150.  The seat was $90 and the extra base was $40 but because I was buying the infant seat separate, I got $10 off.  In the end, I spent $280... I would have been spending close to $300 with taxes if I had purchased the other double stroller.  Not bad, if I do say so myself.

Still kinda expensive, but hey, what are you going to do?

  This is the double stroller and matching car seat I purchased today... you can find it these and other great products at GracoBaby.com.

So, I'm set with the stroller and the infant seat... I just need a few more things and the big thing... Baby Zachary!!  LOL. 

Other than that, today has been a pretty quiet day.  The Hubby and Rowan are still considered "Sickies" even though the Hubby is feeling somewhat better and back to work.  Miss Rowan on the other hand is still feeling pretty icky, if I could put words in her mouth.  She has been pretty cranky and clingy today... So, I know she isn't feeling all that much better.  She even crashed on the couch around 5pm and was asleep until about 615pm.  I just hope she can go to sleep tonight... I'm not too worried about it, because she is already yawning... lol.

So, maybe we'll be asleep around 10pm tonight unlike the last few nights where she has been asleep by 915pm.  Man, what colds take out of little ones... It is so sad.  I on the other hand am still feeling pretty good... ::Knock on wood::

I've been drinking the OJ and eating the oranges... Popping the vitamins and just trying to take it easy... But I would have to say, if I were to get sick soon, I wouldn't mind... I just don't want to be sick around the time Zachary comes.  No way do I want to deal with being sick and having a new born.

Only 24 more days until Feb 22nd... I just can't believe it...  Its coming sooo quickly!!

And lucky me only has 4 more days of work... And get this, because I have a doctors appt on Monday, I'll be leaving earlier... Which means I really only have like 3.5 days left!  Woo Hoo.

But hopefully, once I do stop working, I won't go crazy, waiting for the days to go by.  That is part of the reason why I am working so far up to my date... Because I know I'll start to get bored and go crazy waiting for Feb 22nd to come along :()  Aaaahhh... Thank goodness for AOL and Journals huh???  LOL.

Tomorrow I'm going to spend my day cleaning.  With taking care of the Sickies and just not feeling up to it, I've neglected my poor house.  I will be taking my sweet time and not doing too much... But it needs to be done.  Thank goodness the Hubby will be home for some time tomorrow, before he heads off into those wonderful cop-loving streets...

Yeah, don't even get me started on how things are going right now for them... Just let me say, that gangs are a big problem right now... Okay, so basically, the gangs have called a truce with each other and are supposedly focusing on the cops... Yeah, nice huh??

Anyway...

I could go down to West Covina this weekend and watch my brother play some HOCKEY (((WOO HOO UC DAVIS)))... but hey, a 6 hour car ride just doesn't seem like the thing that I want to do at 35 weeks pregant... haha.  So, I'll be home, cleaning house and relaxing in between...

Sunday is the Hubby's first day off for three days... He has a 'date' to take his girls out to lunch.  Hehe... I can't decide if I want to go to Applebee's or to an Italian resturant called Strings.  I guess I have a few days to decide... Its been a while since we've gone out as a family, so, it will be nice to do...

Okay, I've rambled on plenty long... So, I hope everyone has a wonderful wonderful weekend... May the weather not be too hard on you and you all get some relaxation and rest...

::HUGS and LOVE::
