I am an avid yard sale-er (not a real word, I know). Every year I anticipate the first day of yard sale-ing like a kind looks for Santa! I can barely sleep the night before! Today marked the start of yard sale season. There were not too many sales out today but I was able to begin buying baby stuff. It felt...odd. Like I was a fraud, just playing a pretend game or something. But there really is a baby in there and I only have 4 1/2 months to get what I need so I thought that I should get started.
Because we do not know the gender I am limited in what I can buy. I am not a "gender neutral" kinda gal. I need pinks or blues! So I stuck to buying things like a shopping cart cover and some crib sheets. It was so hard to pass up frilly dresses or cute little boy outfits. But there was one thing that I couldn't pass up:
My hubby is a Cards fan and if we have a baby boy he must have some Cardinal wear. That was the compromise I made with hubby. He wanted the nursery done in Cards and that wasn't happening! So I bought this outfit for a $1 today. It is in perfect condition and will look adorable on our future baseball player....if we have one. If not, I am only out a dollar.
Just 10 more days until I can really start shopping! I. CAN'T. WAIT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Jess-
ReplyDeleteI think that is neutral enough that a girl could wear it. Or it would make a good 4th of July outfit, if nothing else.
Do you need me to pick up some Steelers gear?
If we have a girl my niece has a pink Cards outfit that will work great. And hubby loves Steelers!! My next time in PA I am going to have to look for some stuff. And I hate sports! LOL
ReplyDeleteCute, Jess. At least you have a reason for shopping for baby clothes. I was at Kohl's the other day and I stopped to look at the little Easter dresses. I wanted to buy one.
ReplyDeleteI hope the 10 days go by fast :)
Congratulations on your pregnancy, you have been blessed.

Girl, If you have a girl I MUST give you the website where I've purchased some sweetness for my sweet girl! SO EXCITED for you to find out :)
ReplyDeleteHello here from ICLW
ReplyDeleteI can relate to being addicted to yard saling. My thing is thrift stores. We have some really nice ones around here from Hospice. They are so clean and nice!! I have bought a lot of baby clothes in there.
I can imagine how excited you are to find out what the gender is!! I am pregnant with my second son. ;)
