Trekking to Target

As a general rule of thumb, it takes at least 3 times as long to do anything than it did pre-Sadie. So much preparation for even simple trips! Like to Target and Babies R Us. Only 30 minutes away, and yet.... so far! At least it is if one of your passengers happens to be an unhappy baby. So you take all measures to make sure that doesn't happen. Diapers? Check. Wipes? Check. Change of clothes? Burp Cloth? Bottle? Milk? Check, check, check and check. Well, she isn't a big fan of her car seat. Should I bring the Baby Bjorn? Ya, good idea. Throw that in a bag. But, sometimes she hates that too, so better bring the baby sling, just in case. Oh, and grab that octopus that plays music, she loves that. And the blinking firefly. Oh what the hell, grab the duckie rattle and "you are my sunshine" light up toy too. What if she doesn't take the bottle? I should bring the boppy in case I need to nurse some where. Ok, throw that in the ever growing pile. At this point, John comes in and sees the over flowing bags and his eyes grow large as he says "are we taking all this?" But of course! Always be prepared! If a neighbor should see us coming out the house with all this stuff, they would assume we're going on vacation. Not to Warwick. But this is the attitude that always makes me the one who over packs for everything! "I might need this...." and my suitcase ends up being like 80 lbs. Anyhoo.... the trip went fine... of course..... and we got some cute stuff at Target. Like this fun little onesie!
