Shopping Begins

     Even before we could tell anyone about our grandchild, Beth was excited to start rummaging and shopping for Baby Z.  So many things would be needed so any chance or opportunity to pick something up would be great. I did say that we should probably wait until we knew the sex of the baby until we actually bought anything major. 

    I had been off work for a month with a small surgery and was noticing it was my last Friday off before returning to work.  I called Jessica and asked her if we could just come up and take her to lunch since I was free.  She said okay and we hit the road. On the way we saw that the town of Twelve Mile was having a town rummage.  We decided to stop there on the way back through.  Matt was off work so we all 4 hit the cafe in the big town of Fulton.  I always love to get BLT sandwiches at these small mom and pop restaurants so that was my lunch for the day. Mom and Jessica had their tenderloins.  Matt still isn't sure what a tenderloin is and still doesn't care for them, I think he had a fish sandwich. 

     We then stopped by the house and Jessica was excited to show us that they had been working on Baby Z's room.  It was clean and had a few things already in it.  For one, a dresser that Beth had when she was a kid and Jessica used growing up.  That was kinda cool.  across the hall Jessica said she had grandma's room ready for her to stay the night when needed.

      On the way home we found a rummage with TONS of baby stuff.  A gold mine for "onesies".  Beth found 21 of them in new condition.  I think they were 3 for a dollar or something amazingly cheap. Of course we bought them.

      After June 29th, the sex of the baby revealing day,  Beth was free to buy girls stuff.  Gas City was having a town rummage so that was the victim of the first really big buy.  I can't list all of the stuff bought but she had a good day.  A friend , Carla, and Bryce went with Beth and enjoyed the hunt for clothes just as much. I have to put a picture below of this day of shopping.  Many more to come I am sure.  Our Grandchild is definately going to be well dressed.
