too much, too soon?

I 'm pretty good at shopping...no, it's more like I have a god-given gift for shopping. Most women will say that they like to shop, but for me, its so much more. I don't stroll aimless from store to store, or even rack to rack. Instead, I have a swift stride. When my feet hit the ground, they do so with purpose and determination. I always have a plan of attack, even when I'm shopping for nothing in particular. For me, a trip to the mall, or even the local Target, is like a special mission requiring my expertise. Like I said, shopping to me is more then just a casual stroll through the mall, its so much more. I might sound like an addict, but the thrill and exhilaration that comes with a purchase is such a beautiful feeling. I'm pretty sure I go through withdraws when I haven't had my fix in a while. But rest assured, I have it under control. I can stop at anytime...I'm just not ready to yet. Plus, I haven't resorted to stealing from family to get my next fix. By the way, I do watch intervention, and if I see one camera, I'll never talk to any of you again.

So where am I going with this, you've probably asked yourself 5 times by now? Well, I've decided that its probably not the best idea for me to be shopping for my body right now. Even though I'm more than determine to loose my baby weight and return to this size, mostly because I love, love, love all my clothes and I can't even bring myself to think about mourning their lost for a year, let alone forever. (sorry, off on a tangent again) So anyhow, now that I'm not shopping for myself, I feel this massive void. So what better to fill this void with then more shopping, but now for a little baby?!

I find myself online for hours shopping (window shopping at the moment) for baby stuff. Its amazing how much adorable stuff is out there. And I had no idea, until now, that I need all of it, even the special, upright, Euro Tub for baby baths, or the oh so cute and absolutely necessary baby bath robe. Since I am only 10 weeks along, I've been trying to refrain from buying. I'm going to try to hold out for week 20, the half way point. But I think its only reasonable to make exceptions for special items or circumstances.

Quick question-Seeing as I'm only 10 weeks, would it be crazy if, maybe, I bought a highchair? Too much? Well, what if said highchair was one I was stalking for nearly a year when we were trying to get pregnant? Or if I said it was originally $120 but I found one in great condition on craigslist for $35? Still too much? Well just remember, this MIGHT be a hypothetical situation and I will neither confirm nor deny the purchase of a highchair...at 10 weeks. One more question- What about a baby sling? Still too much?

I don't think I'm going to make it another 10 weeks.
