Yes, yes I know I have been nothing but talk about baby. That’s because I want this child EVICTED. NOW. Surprisingly, I am rather comfortable at the moment. The crotch fire pains have subsided and I can now tell that the baby has dropped because I CAN BREATHE AGAIN! I have energy again too – so it ain’t all that bad.
I just wanna meet this baby already! Plus I have everything nearly completed for its arrival (except for a Moby wrap *sigh*) that it’s getting kinda boring around here. Boring enough to make me wanna shop and that’s just trouble. (speaking of trouble, just as I was writing this, I bought a new Ju-Ju-Be* BeAll diaper bag. Damn online shopping. Maybe it will come right as I’m in labour and Mike won’t fight me. Wishful thinking: he’s gonna be so mad. LOL)
Carter’s got the shopping bug too. I think its genetic. Since he’s been home from daycare (all of three days) he asks to go shopping. I ask what he’d like to do today and his immediate response is “SHOPPING!” – the kid will travel from store to store, sit in cart after cart and back and forth from the car if it means he gets to go SHOPPING! Gawd, I love that child.
Tuesday consisted of us going to WalMart for the last minute items for my hospital bag (nipple cream, pads, new pajamas: the necessities) and Carter insisted that he NEEDED a new car for his unending collection of vehicles from the movie CARS.
The kid has 12 of the numerous different styles and models of each character yet NEEDS a new one. The NEED is so strong its the END OF THE WORLD AS WE KNOW IT if there is not a new car to add to the collection. So strong that I WILL. NOT. hear the end of it if we leave the store without one.
[Who the HELL spoiled this child so bad? *looking around*]
Yet still I manage to leave (sometimes) then disarm him by bringing out Thomas the Train from my purse.
[Gotta love the fact that children have the attention span of a fly.]
What am I going to do for an entire year with this shopping accomplice at home? How am I going to be able to fend off the want to shop when I have a little voice in my ear suggesting INSISTING to go SHOPPING!!!!11!? (because it’s never requested quietly, it’s always in a screeching tone that I swear only dogs can hear at the highest decibels.)

Little Miss is the same way, she CAN. NOT. LEAVE. WITHOUT. SOMETHING. At her age it isn’t always a toy. She is now into clothes, Lord help us all, trashy clothes!!!! I am ready to “meet” this kid too. Of course I won’t have to go through labor. heh!

My boy has always loved to shop with me too, even now at 5. Probably because I spoiled him a bit too. You think 12 Cars cars is bad? You should see the bin of Take Along Thomas trains we have…I’m embarrassed to admit he has at least 50 or 60 of them, plus track. Now, it’s power rangers…

I tell the moosh we’re only allowed to get what’s on our list. Thankfully she can’t read yet so it makes lying really easy.

You must be a very beautiful mum, seeing that you have your blog design so lovely and vibrant. I like it. The pictures of The Cars are cute anyway.
