Baby Shopping

Shopping? Don't I have everything already?

Well...since there were no plans to have anymore babies anytime soon, there was no need to keep any of Clark's baby gear. So I got rid of it. All of it. The clothes, too. Figures, right?

Thank goodness for Craig's List and the base thrift store!

That's not to say this kid won't have anything that's new - I did go on one little spree to WalMart and bought a nice little pile of clothes. And whatever I can't find on my list second-hand, I'll get it new.

The gear, though, will definitely all be procured through Craig's List. I've already scored a couple of great bargains - a Boppy and extra cover for $10, a Baby Bjorn for only $20 and a co-sleeper also for $20. Sweet! I still have the big stuff to get - a swing, a bouncy seat, and of course a car seat. I did actually save our pack and play, so that's one less thing to worry about. I really like the Fisher-Price Rainforest collection, and apparently lots of Oahu Craig's List sellers do, too, so if I decide to go with that for the swing and bouncy seat (or maybe the travel swing, I keep changing my mind) I'll definitely be able to get a good deal.  Here are a few pictures:

Other than the gear and clothes, mainly I'll be stocking up on diapers and wipes, and other boring practical things like that. Actually it's not boring; it's still pretty fun to buy all that stuff. :)
