Great weekend

I took several days off and we went South for the weekend hense no posting.  My Grandma and Aunt took me maternity shupping for my birthday.  They dang near bought out the store. 

I also took them to Traditions to the new BRU to show them some things we like and my Grandma went nuts shopping.  I kept telling her were not positive on the sex but that did not deter her one bit. 

Then we went and ordered our furniture.  We ordered the Gen Next in amber along with the dresser/hutch combo. 

Anyway I had such a great time I thought I would share. 

Re: Great weekend

  • Sounds like fun. Did you go to the old Navy out in Tradition? They have a great maternity selection.

    Glad you enjoyed yourself this weekend, and Happy Birthday!!!!!Cake

  • I am glad it looks like you had a good weekend, free from stress.

    Baby shopping must be so fun.  I cant wait to do that one day!

  • Wow!!   Way to go!!!  You had much better luck at BRU than I did this weekend.  I went there with my husband on Saturday for the first time and he was in a bad mood by the time we left the store.  He was a little overwhelmed with the prices.  He said that the baby industry is just like the wedding industry where they nickel and dime you for everything because they know you have to buy the stuff.   Tongue Tied   By the way, does BRU ever have good sales on their items like strollers and cribs and Pack-n-Plays and gliders??  Everything we looked in those areas were all full priced.  The only thing I did buy was some Belly Bars because those were buy one get one.  Otherwise we came out empty handed.  He wants to look into buying items on eBay but is that really safe to do that?  Sure the prices are good there, but I'm worried if they are in tip-top condition.  I'm not going to sacrifice on safety for a good price.

    Honestly we bought my PNP, stroller, car seat, highchair, and swing @ Baby USA.  They were having a trimester sale and got the items I wanted on sale.  I couldnt pass it up.  As far as ebay I dont know the answer.  We talked about the same thing but I wanted it brand new for the just in case factor.  My sister has already had some recalls on some of her baby things so I wanted to go the retail way to have the receipts should anything creep up later.

    No we didnt.  We originally stated at TCM.  We just went to Motherhood.  It was funny because my Mom told me she was gonna get me an outfit or 2.  HA!  I came home with 9 tops, 2 pants, 2 capris and 2 nursing bras.  I already had 2 pants and 3 capris so I kept saying I dont need this and the reply was oh try it on.  I would then I hear she will take that one too.  Jerry just laughed his tail off. 

    We only went to Traditions because I was told they had a BRU.  They both had never been so they wanted to check it out.  We also hit Target and I ran into TJMaxx for a sec.  It was go go go all day.  I was literally exhausted.  I did think of you though while I was down there. 

    Have you ever been to Pueblo Viejo Mexican resturant?  We went there for lunch.  OMG they have some awesome steak fajitas.  I didnt even use the tortilla.  It was yummy.  I love that place.

    I think your DH and I could be good friends.  I agree about the baby industry completely.  Mike and I have been talking about doing an experiment to see how LITTLE we can spend on our first child.  If I know my parents and our IL's they'll go crazy like SNR's did, so with that and hand-me-downs, it would make an interesting experiment.  I just think the baby industry invents so many toys, clothes, accessories, etc., and convince us that we need them, and it kinda sickens me.  But I think getting some good maternity clothes are a must, so good for you!!

  • If you register at BRU, they send coupons from time to time...I bought my PNP with a coupon for $20 off that was in one of their fliers :)

    There are 4 or 5 locations.  We usually go to the one on PSL Blvd in the Pet Supermarket parking lot.  I know they also have a loc on Jensen Bch Blvd in the Publix plaza.  I also like Dos Amigos.  That was where I used to go when I lived there.  My Grandfather doesnt seem to care for that one and he found this one and loves it.  The Rancho Chico is that in Palm City?

  • It's behind Shells at Monterey and Kanner. It's pretty good.
  • Glad you had a great weekend. Happy Birthday!Party!!!
