Dean and I went out to garage sales last Saturday and got some good deals. We got a changing table for $5, a baby bjorn baby carrier, and a heavier-duty backpack carrier. We also got some bottle stuff: a drying rack and dishwasher caddy. The rest of it was mostly clothing. Why pay $6-$10 for baby clothes when you can get them for $1-$2 apiece? Mom got annoyed at us and told us to stop buying clothing b/c people will want to give us things--but I don’t think we’ve gone overboard yet. To anyone who is thinking of getting us baby clothing: please buy/make things for the 3-6 month size at the smallest. I don’t anticipate having a tiny baby since we’re not small and we come from taller families, and a baby can always wear something oversized but not undersized.
The only things I’d been hoping for that I didn’t find was maternity clothes. Only one sale had some, and it was either too big for me or in a style that I would never wear.
Dean washed everything on Sunday, and it was weird to see all these tiny pieces of clothing spread out to be folded. One more moment that is driving home the reality of the impending baby. What with the stuff we bought and things we’ve already been given, we’ve got a lot of baby stuff around the house now.
Some people may have noticed Mom’s comment on the last post and seen the name Zaxxon. That’s what we’re calling the baby while it’s inside since we don’t know what it is. It came from a friend of Dean’s, and we thought it was funny and adopted it for now.

I wasn't annoyed, oh silly One. Just save some things for the rest of us to get you! I'm substituting other relatives for Daddy in the following:
Bye, baby Bunting.
Grandpa's gone a hunting,
To get a little rabbit skin
To wrap his baby Bunting in.
Bye, baby Bunting.
Aunty's gone a hunting,
To get a little lambie skin
To wrap her baby Bunting in.
Bye, baby Bunting.
Grandma's gone a hunting,
A rosy wisp of cloud to win
To wrap her baby Bunting in .
Love ya, Mom xox
