Hope for the Future and a Great Sale!

So one of my good friends IRL IMed me the other day. She asked me if I was up for "baby talk" cuz she had something really important she wanted to talk to me about. I tell her I am fine... that she can talk away... so she mentions A SALE!

Gymboree was having a sale on a brand new line they have there with owls all over it. Being the Owl collector that she knew I am, she rushed to get ahold of me to let me know about it. Their stuff is thru-the-roof expensive, but I went to look. Nothing like paying $20 for a sleeper that junior is gonna poop all over in the first time he wears it and ruins the whole damn thing... but it's a sale, right??

I FELL IN LOVE.

I almost started crying. I ran in and asked my DH if I could go to the mall, I wanted... no NEEDED to go to Gymboree, and would he please say yes. He was half asleep and didn't care about anything except getting me to leave the room so he could go back to snoring, so he obliged.

I get there and mention I was the girl on the phone that collects owls, and please direct me to the owl line. She takes me to where it all is, and like a good salewoman working on commission, she tries to sell me the whole freaking line. I went in for the sleeper and the blanket ($10 apiece-- which is a steal for Gymboree clothes)... and she was let down to find out that I didn't really need owl sockies for my kiddo-to-be... and I certainly didn't need a big-headed stuffed owl.

Here are some pics of the pattern on the line. It's ADORABLE!!



And here is the detail applique/embroidery thing on the opposite side of the blanket. One side is the same fabric as the sleeper above... and the other side is creme with this cute really homely owl on it. It's so homely I needed to take it home with me and cuddle it LOL!!


So, I guess this solidifies the want to try for another baby. I bought clothes. We need a baby to wear them... Lexie will look pretty funny trying to squeeze into that sleeper otherwise.

Thanks for listening to me babble :)

Hugs, Danger
