This past Thursday I had the day off due to a later afternoon midwife appointment, why I had the whole day off is beyond me, I’ll just blame my supervisor as he thinks these baby things are cheap and taking a whole day off without pay is beneficial to my financial gain. Oh well, I still enjoyed myself none the less running around town doing various errands and then meeting up with my belly buddy Lisa at the mall for some baby related shopping.

We walked around the mall for a while just window shopping and talking babies and what super power our babies might have. As Lisa had already finished her pre-wedding related shopping she was wanting to get some childrens books so her and her pre-husband could read books to their growing baby “Sprocket” as it can hear them right now and has been responding to their voices. I thought that this was an excellent idea for my own developing human to pick up a few new child related books that it can call its own, as some of you may or may not know my personal collection of children’s books are for my hands only! I don’t think I talk enough to my belly enough, but I do talk telepathically to it all the time so off to the book store we went.

I think I spent more time picking up random children’s books and reciting the first few pages, or giving a personal review and summary of just how awesome or awful the book actually is. I hope Lisa did not think I was to children’s literature crazy. I ended up picking up three great books. “Alligator Pie – Poems: Dennis Lee” “Good Night Vancouver – David J. Adams & Anne Rosen” and “Baby Beluga – Raffi”

I had to leave our shopping adventures earlier than I had wanted as I had to get to a midwife appointment and battle traffic which is never a fun thing to do on a beautiful hot summer day in Vancouver. My appointment went well, just general chit chat and getting to hear the Belly Bumble Bee’s heart beat again (it sounds like a train – chuga-chuga-chuga… I cant remember what my midwife said the bpm were, I was to busy listening to my little one), I go for yet another ultrasound next week (more on the previous ones at another time)

I had also bought a few baby clothes from Old Navy, I could not resist myself, as baby jeans are just to adorable to resist buying. Also do you realize how hard it is to find gender neutral baby clothing? It either has frills & lace, or has sports related rugged masculine theme to them. I do think these outfits can easily be worn by a little girl or little boy. Rock star Baby! Oh yeah!
