Garage Sale Finds

Our city wide garage sales were held a couple of weeks ago, normally I love going to them, but this year I wasn't as excited for two reasons, I just got rid of tons of stuff that I donated to our church rummage sale, and I wasn't in the mood to accumulate too much more. Also, being almost 8 months pregnant, and walking all over in the heat and humidity didn't sound too appealing to me. But in the end, I couldn't resist, once I saw all the activity around town, I decided to check just a couple sales out, then a couple more, then a couple more, etc! Isabella and I had a lot of fun, but it definitely was HOT. I really did limit myself this year, though, since we are making room for baby. I ended up getting a bouncy seat for the baby, other than the toys missing (which I've already replaced) it seems barely used, and even has batteries in it. We had an older blue one that was a hand me down, for Isabella, but it didn't do all the things this one does, so I'm replacing that one with this one. I also picked up a few baby toys (which I immediately disinfected since I'm a germ-a-phobe), and Isabella got a princess back pack, Barbie things, Tuck from The Wonder Pets, which she loves now, and her favorite - a Baby Alive doll for 25 cents! She was SO excited about her Baby Alive. Some other things I got were a few baby clothes (not pictured since that would give away the gender!), and a pair of khaki maternity shorts and sleeveless maternity top (not pictured because I wear at least the shorts every. single. day!). They are the ONLY shorts I have that fit me right now, so they are either being worn or washed at all times. In total, I spent right around 12 dollars on everything!

Wait a minute...you KNOW the gender?! :-)

:) Yes, just Monte and I know. We decided to find out this time, it was almost impossible not to, with ultrasounds every two weeks.

And tell me, how can you keep this a secret? Aren't you dying to tell? :)

Boy: Robert (my word verification is deneriz)

Madeleine LOVES the Wonder Pets too lol

Angela said...

Meredith - You and your word verifications!! :)

It's been pretty fun keeping it a secret so far, I'm so afraid I'm going to slip up and say "him" or "her" around friends and family, though!

Ergh, I know my maternity clothes would be too big for you, or I'd zip you up any shorts I have in a hot second. You have a ways to go before that belly gets as big as mine was - I had a chubby head start. :>)

Well done on the finds!

PS - I'm half tempted to change my guess to boy, too, but I'm really feeling 50-50 on it, so I think I'll leave it as girl.
