All work and no play because Jack’s a very spoiled little boy!
Sorry I haven’t been posting. My big fat preggo ass has been working. I worked all weekend, in fact. I have three (yes, count ‘em— THREE) web design projects I’m working on. I have no effing idea what possessed me to take on so much work when I really should be taking it easy (third trimester starts next week)!
Truth be told… my insatiable desire to purchase Every.Baby.Product.Ever.Made is what possessed me. And I do mean possessed.
Within the past five days alone, I have purchased all of the following:
- By Your Side Infant Seat (Just look at it. Isn’t it the cutest little thing you ever did see?!)
- 3-pk of pirate bibs and matching blankie for Captain Jack
- and a bunch of smaller stuff I’m not going to link… like Butt Paste. Seriously. It’s called Butt Paste. But it’s supposed to be the best diaper ointment on the market. Heh.
Close to $500 by now. That’s $100 per day, folks! At this rate, I’ll be bankrupt by June! Bwah!
So yeah… you can see that I need to work, and work a lot. Because that isn’t even the big stuff. I still have to get the play yard and the bassinet, both of which are going to set me back a couple hundred each. Not to mention the rest of the stuff on both of my registries, which I’m going to be steadily chipping away at the next few weeks.
It’s going to crack me up when the Baby Shower That Won’t Really Be A Baby Shower happens on May 10th. I may very well be the first momma-to-be in history to agree to a baby shower KNOWING that everything I need will already be bought and paid for by the time they have it.
What the hell, though… there are less than 89 days to go, people! Snicker!

How did I ever raise two kids without all that stuff?!
My greatest luxury was a diaper service. I loved those cloth diapers, especially when they came and took the dirty ones and left nice soft bright white ones!
