It was interesting....

I went shopping again on Friday to try and finish up getting gifts for everyone in Korea.  I think I'm about shopped out (I'm not an avid 'shopper'!) and done with gifts now....thank you! I'm not stressing this gift giving thing anymore.  I know they will appreciate all that I've gotten them, I'm just one of those obsessive-over thinker-stressing-kind of gift giver.  Got some gift bags  and tissue today, so I think I'm good with all that now.  (Whew! now I can move onto something else!)

Today was interesting, to say the least.  I went to Babies R Us to register.  My wonderful, sweet, kind, cousins are giving me a baby shower soon, so thought I'd go register today.  Went to the desk to sign up, a young girl walked up and asked if I needed some help.  I said "yes please,  I need to sign up for the baby registry."  She immediately glanced down at my 'not pregnant belly' and then turned to get the paperwork out of a drawer.  That was weird, I thought.  She said, "have a seat and we'll get you set up." She gave me the whole spill about what's involved, how to use the scanner, etc.  She was nice.  But to tell the truth the whole experience was a bit weird.


So I take the scanner and walk around looking at all the baby stuff.  So, I'm not scanning the newborn stuff,  I'm thinking, "okay, he'll be close to 12 months old.  What does a 12 month old need?"  Mike and I have a 9 year old daughter, so I've done this before, just had the big belly to go along with it.  It was fun to look at all the things there, but a little weird.....When I finished, I went back to the desk, and a different girl was at the desk.   She did the same thing, I went to hand her the scanner and she glanced at my 'not pregnant belly'.  I thought,  yeah this is weird.  

After Babies R Us,  I went to Target, love me some Target!  I went to the front desk, told the girl I needed to sign up for the baby registry and she did the exact same thing, glanced at my 'not pregnant belly'  as she turned to go get a scanner.  Okay now, I'm a little self conscience about my 'not pregnant belly'! lol   I guess it really didn't bother me, just felt weird. 

It's been a while since I've done this, so it'll take me a little while to get back into the swing of things, but I'll get there.  I'd better, there's a little boy half way around the world depending on me!
