Oh Yeah, Other Stuff We've Done.

Have begun shopping/collecting baby clothes. :]

I posted some pics of the first couple things we bought for Baby Awesome Powers to wear (yes, we're still arguing over the name), but we've (read: I've) been collecting others. We got a couple more things at the Navy Exchange, and then yesterday I went to Goodwill, and boy, did little girl make out well there! LOTS of name brand stuff (mostly Carters, and there is a Carters Outlet store here, but when I can get the same supercutes for $1.99/item, why pay more for brand new?) couple of Baby Gap things. I had so many picked out at first that I did a double take at my cart and then sorted half of the "maybes" back onto the rack. We've still got 21 weeks to go, no need to go TOTALLY crazy... :]

I think I mentioned that we got our crib last week. I think the bigger expense things we have left to get are:

• Dresser type thing (Maybe.)
  
• Mattress
• Carseat
• Stroller
• Pack & Play
• Glider (David wants to relocate his GIANT recliner into baby's room, but I'm not sure I want to deal with that.)
• More Cloth Diapers

Smaller/less expensive things that we want/will need:

• Mei Tai Carrier
• Nursery Decorations (including mobile, wall hangings, crib sheets, etc.)
• Bottles, plushy toys etc.
• Childproofing stuff (though we don't really believe in 100% childproofing... It's something we both agree on, but of course, we'll see how it goes when baby gets mobile!)
• The Little Baby Care Stuff: washcloths, snot sucker, burp cloths, wipes, etc.
• Bins/baskets to organize baby clothes/diaper change needs
  

Things we've already procured:

• Crib
• Changing table
• Swing
• Some clothes (need to sort them by sizes, we've got some new born stuff, but mostly it's 3-6 months or 6-9 months)
• Some Cloth Diapers, we have about 6 gDiapers, and have some GroBaby ones on the way
• Lots and Lots and Lots of pamphlets, handouts, business cards etc. about baby stuff. It really makes me feel sorry for the trees.

Anyway, I realy don't think we're doing too badly. I know some people already have all their big purchase stuff and have had it for months now, but I really don't care. It's not a race, this isn't something you can WIN. After all, it was the tortise that won the fabled race.
