What I've Learned While Baby Shopping (recently and in years past)

  • JCPenney’s baby socks stay on
  • JCPenney’s has the softest receiving blankets and if you can catch them on sale, they aren’t much more expensive than Wal-Mart or Target
  • Cloth diapers (which I use for burp clothes and which consequentially became my children’s “bankies” b/c I would put them under their face while sleeping – and which was doubly AWESOME b/c I had not one special bankie but 12 or 18!) are cheapest at Wal-Mart
  • Target has the best deal on gowns anywhere around…Chico brand are soft and three in a pack for $10 (even Wal-Mart wanted $10 for a pack of two!)
  • Target’s Chico brand onesies are actually thicker and softer than my previously preferred JCPenney’s Okie Dokie - and cheaper to boot
  • And last but not least, everything looks so tiny I can’t believe it will fit anything other than my daughter’s dolls but my sister says I will be surprised.

I love JCPenney stuff too!
As for camping while pregnant...I had a friend who never did anything while pregnant, and she was BORING until after delivering that baby! I decided I'd never be that way! lol. It honestly isn't any different, (except the extra trips to the outhouse! :)

Great tips! I'm not a frequent shopper, and I was starting to think that the only place you can still find baby gowns is at yard sales.

I'm also not too frequent at writing and reading blogs, but I've enjoyed yours tonight during a little spell of insomnia (after a day of especially painful contractions.)

And about camping while pregnant: a good experience, unless your air mattress isn't blown up enough to support the belly turning. (ask me how I know)
