So Saturday to Sunday morning I went on a little girls' getaway weekend down to Rhode Island with my friend Jess. It was supposed to be a beach trip but the forecast predicted on and off thunderstorms. Instead of being bummed, we took a detour to the outlets. I know, I know, I am supposed to be saving, and I am. I didn't spend that much and got a few great deals. The best find was when visiting the Motherhood Maternity outlet. I found a super cute belted dress that is perfect for work and makes my mini-bump look quite flattering. I think it just may be this year's first day of school dress! When we got to the hotel, it wasn't raining so we lounged around the pool for a while before gorging ourselves on mountainous platters of appetizers that seemed like a great idea for dinner. Add a trip to Ihop the next morning and the whole shebang was a big hit.
Then on Sunday, my mother, who very graciously offered to buy our baby's crib, wanted to take advantage of the tax free weekend so we took a trip to Babies R Us. I literally was exploding with baby mania! We ended up finding a beautiful crib that will later convert to a toddler bed and a day bed as well, and we also found a matching changing table. Somehow, buying the nursery furniture made everything so real and exciting. My nesting instinct was in overdrive! I can't wait to find out the sex so we can decorate. I want to do a jungle theme if it's a boy and a garden theme if it's a girl.
And now I am into the second trimester which is supposed to be the best part of the whole pregnancy! I'm pretty jazzed to be here!
