A Baby Getting Ready For A Baby

family and friends know that i am directionally challenged* i mean this in a serious way* my first christmas with m*d*s i received a gps* my father moved from austin, tx up to washington DC and two years later i was still calling him for austin directions* folks----it's bad* when we moved to memphis i sort of knew the lay out since i had lived here as a child* my grandparents were here into my high school years so coming back for visits kept me familiar with the main roads/highways* today, as i had mentioned yesterday, r*a*s and i prepared for our trip to babies r us (which turned out to be disappointing)* i knew the general area of where i thought babies r us was located but when it came to figuring out how to get there i was a little nervous* one of the nice things about memphis is that some major roads run east/west in the city* if you get off track as long as you can find one of these roads chance are your going to be able to get yourself close to where you need to go even if you make a mistake (one of these roads is poplar)* i told r*a*s that i was looking up directions for babies r us * she was extremely impatient and was ready for me to get a move on* she looked at me and said, "silly mommy just take poplar" i almost peed my pants* what a ham*

we made it to babies r us without any problems* r*a*s was so excited to look for baby k*a*s stuff i thought she was going to pop* she kept saying, "mommy i have to know what that is for*" she touched almost every item in that place* this babies r us was split and had toys r us on the other side* i thought this was going to be a problem because i was sure r*a*s would find something over  on "her" side that she just had to have* she never even asked to go over there* she was 100% focused on k*a*s-- we spent a lot of time wandering around looking at things we didn't need (since we have most everything) and i used the opportunity to teach r*a*s what all the different baby gear is used for* our trip to babies r us has 3 goals* 1) medela bottles 2) replace the baby bathtub 3) check out the cloth diapers* 1) they only had one set of the medela bottles 2) they only had one baby tub that had a jacuzzi feature (seriously) 3) not one cloth diaper in that place* this babies r us was n-o-t like the one i was use to in austin* once we finished our shopping r*a*s said, "i am so excited about baby k*a*s i hope she is born soon*" i know r*a*s is going to be a fantastic big sister*
