Courtney Thinks I'm Crazy

I justify spending money in ways that no one will ever understand. Yesterday, I bought a Moby Wrap, you know one of those baby wearing scarf-like things...yeah I did that.

I bought one. I am not pregnant, haven't tried the first time yet, & haven't bought the first plane ticket to try. But, I still did it. I was just trolling the Amazon...there is a stinking Amazon App on the iPhone (makes it that much easier to spend dollhairs) and I came across baby things. Let's be for real. I was searching everything baby. I do this often because literally everything is cute...even nail clippers. They are so tiny, and there is something you must know...I love all things tiny.

Anyway, there. I have admitted it. I bought the first "baby thing" Courtney got mad at me because (wait let me preface this with: We are an old married couple that doesn't have any real problems so we argue about stupid things) OK so she got irritated I'll say, when I spent money on this wrap after I gave her a hard time for using most of the mayonnaise in the coleslaw at her birthday cookout...Mayo = $4 Baby Wrap = $40...I see the difference, but I only got upset about the mayo because what happens if we run out & I can't fix my sammich!? This baby wrap will be used for YEARS to come. literally. I am a frugal frannie when I need to be like...we don't need to use the whole thing of mayo for coleslaw next time...but I feel ok spending some money on a baby wrap that we will use over and over & hopefully for more than one baby!

She said last night "that could have been a baby shower gift!!" I was quick to remind her there are plenty of colors & designs she can surprise me with at a baby shower :) & the baby will need much more than a baby wrap...right?

TTC front? --Is this still considered TTC when we haven't actually tried yet? I feel bad using that term if we aren't actually using it correctly...maybe we should say PSTTC (planning stages of TTC)?-- anyway...I have called the RE a few times trying to make an appointment & have had no luck. I don't know why honestly. I know they are accepting of the homos because my OB/GYN referred them to me while stating that she is currently treating a lesbian couple that got pregnant with that REs help! I will keep calling. I know persistence pays off :) Staceface our KD is in the final processes of the San Diego job, should make his decision on Monday. Then, we can buy our tickets to vistit SD for the first time (or AZ depending on his choice) & give this baby trying thing a go for the first time!! I am so excited for him, because he deserves the very best life has to offer & this job offer sounds amazing. Plus all the benefits of moving to a place more open & accepting, with a beach to boot!
This is me & my sweet Stacey :)
I told my mom our plans to give it a go when we visit Stace in August. She is super busy working things out for my younger brother's high school graduation this Saturday that she hasn't really had a chance to just breathe. She did say she wants to have an actual conversation soon, touch base. Mom likes to say that a lot. Touch Base. She is my best friend and wants to know everything...so when we haven't had a real talk in a few days I feel a little lost, and I think she does too. After this weekend, things should calm down & we can talk...more than just her daily morning phone call, or graduation stuff. I am looking forward to it. I miss her!

Until next time...baby dust to all of you bloggers trying! & Sweet dreams to those learning to adjust to their new normals with brand new babies :)
