Girly girl.
{{This blog has really turned into my journal and/or daily thoughts- especially since I have been home and had SO much free time on my hands... just keep that in mind- you definately do not have to read! }}
The summer/Spring clothes are finally out. So I havent' really wanted to shop for myself, in oh about 9 months or so- haha- so I have switched over to my unborn child. I don't know how people don't to be completely honest-- my two cute sister in laws both didn't buy anything for their kids before they were born! Nothing- I mean I haven't boughten a ton because I know I have two amazing grandma's and all of my baby showers- but I saw this dress at gymboree yesterday- yep. I bought it. (Well it was on sale from $32.75 to only $20!!) It is possibily the best reason to have a little girl. Dresses. Headbands. Bows. Flowers. Earrings. Bracelets. Etc.... Sometimes I feel like my little unborn daughter is like my little doll who I just get to play dress ups with. (until she poops all over her adorable little dress...) I haven't been as bad as I really thought I would be, I really haven't boughten that many things at all- I just love bright fun colors and adorable dresses and little swim suits! Basically- I can't wait for summer to go swimming with my cute little Lucy! The best part- I now get to make and/or find a matching flower/bow to go with her dress!
I never considered myself to be that girly- but really I am. If you look at any picture of me before the age of 10 I am most likely to have my hand on my hip posing, giving you the biggest grin I knew how to give with my lovely curled hair- possibly some of my mothers lip stick, and some sort of hammy-down dress i had gotten from a cousin or the best was when my aunt would send us dresses from Dillards (she used to be a buyer for little girls clothes- it was wonderful.) I spent hours dancing and singing- due to my familys demise- in front of the mirror. I played dress ups every other day, loved my dolls, and yes- I played 'House' and 'School' until 8th grade with my little brother and sister. My favorite princess was Belle, and I had a beauty and the beast lunch box, outfits, tent, sleeping bag, doll- you name it. I even recorded some of my best composed songs on a tape recorder- I would love to find that one day. Once I hit high school I lived vicariously through my cute little sister Candace and 'helped' her dress her dolls, polly pockets, etc... I know have another reason to buy dolls, dress up clothes, and dance in mirrors. Im thrilled.
Don't get the wrong impression- I have seen my share of 'hottie mom's' and those parents who push their kids into everything, so if my sweet little girl develops a love of women's basketball (my biggest nightmare- only because i hate watching girls play basketball- sorry if I offend anyone, but its truly terrible to watch.), or decides she hates all things girly and just wants to be like her daddy and uncles, then I will be completely fine and still love little Lucy more than anything in the whole world. I will even go to every one of those women's basketball games with pride! Haha... Im just excited for a little girl- too bad she most likely wont' show any interest in any of these things for a couple more years, but hey- Im just having fun!
I will post some pictures of me in my childhood sometime soon- they are all at my mom's, but there are definately some funny ones.

Cute post Car! I can totally imagine you as a little girl! I am glad you have tried to control your spending, it's so Fun! After Lucy comes you two will be out shopping when you get bored, at least thats what Macie and I do to not go insane while Chris is at work all day! They just become your little bud! Check out my blog for some newborn favorites!
