Black Friday? Not In My Mind

Why call it "Black Friday"? I just don't get it. Anyway. I'm so excited to go shopping!! If shopping was a sport I would defiantly join. Unfortunately, it's not. But technically you do exercise while shopping. Holding all those heavy bags full of stuff, trying on clothes, pushing clothes aside on the racks to find a shirt or whatever, walking around the store....the list goes on and on! I especially love shopping for Sarah! It's going to be so much fun shopping with her and not just for her! =D I can't say I'd be the one who wakes up at 4AM to get to Kohls for their "BIGGEST SALE OF THE YEAR" (as they call it)....that's just plain ridiculous!

HAPPY SHOPPING!

*Caitie*

Shopacholics!

Shopaholics! That's what I am! I think I'm baby drunk. LOL. Anyway, we finally went baby shopping and I think Miss Sarah has more clothes than I do! We went to Childrens Place and they were having a great sale! Everything was $1.99! I got Sarah two packs of socks for $.99!! I'll post pictures tomorrow of all her little outfits.

Mom was also doing some math today and this is really hilarious.

At 5 months ~ Sarah was 13.2 lbs and 23" ~

At 15 months Sarah will (approx.) be~ 20 lbs and 28"~

This all means that she is 13% in height and..........50% in weight!!! Our little Sarah is a very short and chubby baby!! LOL!! Her information did say she loves to eat. Mom says she's just like me when I was a baby! The sizes we've been getting in clothes are 18-24 months. The problem is, is that she's so short and these clothes are so long! We want to get her those footy-pajamas for after her surgery so she's comfortable in the hospital, but they're so long she'll trip! We're also trying to find her those little, really soft, brown haired baby dolls, but all everyone has are the blonde haired ones! Does anyone know where I can find one? I also have a question for Emily. Where do you guys get AnnaClaire's dresses? They are so adorable!!! Anyway, I hope you all had a great 4th of July!!

Cousins Are In!!! & Baby News

Hey!! Okay so my cousins just flew in from Florida today!!! I have no idea when they'll be staying here but when they do, I probably won't post in a while (not that I have anything to post about because Bethanne still hasn't contacted us!!!! GRRRR!!). Anyway, just thought I'd warn you all.

Bad new's first. Bethanne still hasn't contacted us on how the process is going. Nothing! Nothing on if she sent our stuff to China or if she's waiting for the other family. Good news is, is that Julie~our Social Worker~ is coming on July 16 to redo the homestudy!!! More good news is that the waiting time for SN has decreased a little! I don't know how much so I'm sticking with the other travel times ~late November, beginning of December. I swear I have the worst case of butterflys I have ever had!! It's coming so fast!! My grandma said that we need to hurry up and go shopping!! I really can't wait!! I think we're going either tomarrow or Thursday!!

Shopping ~ The Horrors of Wearing High-Healed Flip-Flops

This is insane. Okay so today Chirstopher ~ not sure if I've talked about him at all but he's my older brother~ went to Six Flags with two of his friends and we drove them. So we decided

to stop at Gurnee to look for shoes for Mom because her and Dad are going to a wedding

on Saturday. To let everyone know I did a very stupid thing. I wore high-healed flip-flops to a mall. A mall! It didn't help either that we did the whole mall and not just half like we usually do.

And we also spent 5 hours in Gurnee and only bought ~ get this ~ one, ONE, thing! A pair of shoes. Oh and lunch and ice cream. The lunch was really good by the way. We had Chinese in honor of Sarah. *grins* But anyway, I should finish my very long and complaining post. As you can imagine my feet are killing me. Mom, I think we need to do a little more shopping so my feet get used to all that walking. *wink, wink*

Mine aren't as high. But they're pretty close!
