Preparing For Our Trip!

Well, it’s official…we are going to Russia to see our “little man”, our little Joey!!!

Yesterday, I started my day out the door by 10:30am and didn’t get home till about 5pm. I had gone to Harmon’s to get trial sizes stuff for us, then I headed to the Samsonite store to buy some travel pillows and tags for our luggage, I then spotted the Children’s place clothing store. We wanted to bring a few outfits for Joey for when we see him, so proceeded to enter thinking “how hard could this be?” Joey just turned 10 months old. So I’m looking through the racks for 10 month old size….of course I didn’t see any. I looked around to hopefully ask a sales woman and no one was around to help. I was too embarrassed to ask a mom there plus all the moms shopping there looked like they just wanted to grab, pay and get out! All I saw was 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 12 months, etc. NO 10 MONTHS!!! I’m thinking to myself….”should I buy the 9 months or 12 months (they say he’s tall)” Needless to say I left there overwhelmed and upset. I couldn’t even buy an outfit for MY future son!!

I got in my car put the key in the ignition; I was just about to leave till I called Walter. After explaining what had happened and how I was feeling at that point in time, he told me to get a grip and call for back up. So I did…I called Kelly!!! She’s a mom and she knows what’s up.

She told me to pick her up and we’ll go to the store together. After a 101 crash course on how to find cloths for your kid, we walked right back in that mall (actually ended up at Carter’s) and shopped with a mission of finding the cutest outfits that we can possibly find. With much success, we found them.

Hooray for ME!!!!!
