Shower shopping

I went shopping today for two of my friend's baby showers which are both next month (the same day).  It was so nice to walk through Babies R Us and look around.  For the last few showers, I have grabbed the registry, gone as quick as possible to any gift in my price range, and then paid.   It was great to be able to look at everything and start planning.   I really wish I could start buying, but all the major things are months off.   I'm hoping after my u/s on Thursday I will feel comfortable to buy a few clothes items.

    So funny you said this! I was just telling MH that now we can go shop for a friend of ours who is having her shower next month without being sad. It is nice to be able to stop and look around instead of buying and running out of the store :)

    You gals are better than I am.  I haven't been to a baby shower in 5 years.  I would just go online and have a gift sent if it was someone special.  

    I'm actually going to a friend's babyshower next month and yes, it is much easier to look around and pick something out!!!   

     But I am having a blast buying things for my little guy!

    I am going to a shower next week and it will be the first one I have attended in years.  Yes it was MUCH different shopping for hers!  I still have yet to buy anything for myself other than the little onesies I bought for DH's bday, but it's been hard to resist buying but I am because I want to see what my showers will bring :)
