23 weeks & counting...

On Saturday after work, Rance and I headed to ASHEVILLE!  Oh man, it is a RARE occassion that we actually adventure somewhere to shop (that's SO not on our list of fun) but after looking at our schedule over the next month, we decided this Saturday was one of the only opportunities to begin preparing for baby boy's arrival by working on the whole baby registry thing.  YIKES.

I must say that we had a BLAST the first couple of hours.  We had high energy and it seemed surreal that we were looking for BABY stuff - as in a new addition to the family coming soon.  I am SUPER grateful for my friends who are already moms that have taken the time to literally give me the MUST-HAVE LIST, THE DO NOT NEED LIST, and the specifics that worked for them (thank you MARIE, JESS, AND PARTNA!). 

Towards the end of our shopping at Babies R Us I think we were both DONE but we headed to Target anyways.  When we finally sat down in the truck after Target our first response to each other was 'HOW DO PEOPLE SHOP ALL THE TIME AND ACTUALLY ENJOY IT?'  Oh my word. 

23 weeks baby!

 

BEST PART - QT!

 

It did not take long before Rance realized that every baby item is either a monkey or a giraffe or some type of animal that is NOT what he deems 'wildlife'!  He kept saying 'where are the BEARS and deer and REAL animals?  We don't live in a SAFARI, we live in North Carolina!"  When we finally came across an isle that had a few small rattles, Rance FLIPPED OUT because it was FARM animals - a pig, a cow, etc.  If you know where big grizzly bears exist - let us know though!

Hello Mr. Piggy!

You want to know the best ending to the day - EATING DINNER!!!!!!!!

Guess where we are?!?!?

 

YES YES YES, CRACKER BARREL

 

Somebody's excited!?!

Thankful for a Saturday afternoon/evening with my boo!
