12/30/2004 Archived Entry: "That's a lot of pink"

I really hope the ultrasound technician is correct, because if we have a boy, he'll be mostly naked or confused as to his gender identity. I got all the 0-3 month baby clothes washed yesterday. When I was pregnant with Tabitha, I didn't get a lot of clothes from people I guess because almost everything was stuff I bought and the colors are blue, black and white. This time around, everyone is giving me clothes and all of it is PINK! Tabitha is estatic as she loves pink and swears the baby will only be dressed in pink. It looks like she's going to get her wish. Mostly everything is pink or white and pink. As I suspected, stains on some of Tabitha's old clothes did not come out. I'll give them one more washing with a boost of Oxi-Clean and if that doesn't work, then they'll go into the donation pile. None of them are horrible, all of them needed to be held up to a strong light to make out the stains, but I know they are there and will not put them on my baby since I don't have to. One outfit I'm really hoping the stains come out and may give it extra special attention as it's the one I want to use in the hospital for her picture.

So we had a pretty wasted afternoon yesterday. We were going to my mil's to get something down for her and she called and said never mind. Well we went anyway because we had a couple items we needed to drop off. We could have saved ourselves the trip because Chris just has to go there today to put away her Christmas decorations with his brother. Then we headed to Target (I am so tired of going there) for yet another return when I realized I didn't have the receipt. We got back in the car and went to Kohl's to return a couple things and the return line was so long. But not just long, it didn't move. I decided it wasn't worth it and we left. I was feeling pretty grumpy by this point so we went to Red Robin for dinner. I didn't really feel like eating so I didn't get to enjoy my food and barely ate, but I did enjoy relaxing and just being with the family so it was just what I needed. We then walked over to Borders so Tabitha could get the second Unfortunate Events book and then stopped at Albertson's before heading home. Chris and Tabitha spent the rest of the evening playing Donkey Konga which looked pretty fun so I did a song too before heading back to my sorting the mountain of baby clothes.

Now I just need to get in gear and try and take care of more Christmas stuff. Not to mention doing regular laundry for the rest of the family.
