Shopping and Babies

Had an unexpected day off today, which was nice.  The studio I teach for on Tuesdays doesn't start back to dance until tomorow.  I had a nice "for me" day.  I spent it putting laundry away, picking up the house, and spending the remainder of my Christmas money at the Victoria's Secret Semi-Annual sale.  I use to work at Victoria's Secret and the twice a year sale is the only time I'll shop now.  When I was employed there I got 30% off of any purchase, except any sale items, you paid sticker for them...  So, when I worked there I never shopped the sale because it was last season stuff that I was tired of looking at and I didn't get any more of a discount on them.  Now that I don't work there, the only time I can tolerate shopping there is during the sale, because I refuse to pay full price for anything anymore.  This is something my husband doesn't understand.  My jaw use to drop when he would pay $100 for a couple of shirts (literally, maybe two shirts) and a 1/2 a pair of jeans. He would never even look at the clearance rack! ....I don't want to go down this path, lets just say men are different from women in many ways.
So I was purusing the aisles in Burlington Coat Factory today, where I scored some Skechers Shape-Up SRT's for only $50, and I decided to take a stroll into the baby section.  I can't believe how much baby stuff they have.  Saw a crib I reall liked, it was all white with a matching changing table.  The crib had no price on it, but the changing table was $150.  This made me wonder what it was at full price, since I know that the shape ups I bought are usually over $100.  I wish I could find the crib I was looking at online, but Burlington Coat Factory seriously needs to re-evaluate their online shopping experience.  I understand that they are like a discount store and I love their discounts, but I also like shopping online. It makes me sad to know that there's no way for me to prepare for our first baby before we are actually "expecting" it.  That really only gives me 6-7 months tops to prepare for this monumental life changing event since you don't even know you're pregnant until you're almost a full month into it.  In the 8th month there may be a baby shower, and you can just forget the 9th month, assuming ofcourse I make it that far.  My sister had her second child after only 6-7 months of pregnancy due to Preeclampsia ,which is thankfully not supposed to be genetic, but who knows.
