"Patience is a Virtue"

Hello from Florida! Austin and I arrived yesterday, and so far it's been wonderful, but wet, too. We spent all day today shopping at the most WONDERFUL outlet mall here in Destin! Let me tell you - there was an OshKosh outlet, Children's Place outlet, and the Nautica outlet had the stinkin' cutest baby clothes ever! Patience?? What's that?? I preach it and teach it all day long to my five year olds, but it's hard for me to remember this virtue as I'm trying desperately to walk away from these adorable baby clothes! It was T-O-R-T-U-R-E walking into those places knowing I can't buy anything because I don't know if I should buy for a boy or a girl!! However, my intuition is telling me to buy for a boy...so, as I'm heading over to the most adorable little man Polo's, khaki's, and hats I've ever seen (in the Nautica store), I still couldn't bring myself to buy them since I don't know for sure. Austin's intuition is telling him it's a girl...but I keep telling him he's not the mommy! :0) I don't know we'll see. I guess it's a good thing for our pocket book that I don't know the sex, seeing as that I could have bought so many cute things today! On the other hand, I was able to splurge and by myself some wonderful things today...a Coach wrist purse (for ONLY $25 I have to add!!!), a new pair of Reef's (nothing like going to the beach and getting a new pair of Reef's), a new pair of Nike running shoes (ha - not like I run, but they were too cute!), and a Destin shirt. I'm told once the kiddo comes along, that spending money on myself will be a rare thing. So, I guess it's good I could spoil myself a bit - or really, Austin was the one doing the spoiling. To say the least, we're having a fantastic time in Florida and it's good to be here with my wonderful hubby getting some "us" time. I'm still counting down the days til we find out what Baby Dub is, because when I do...look out cute baby clothes - here I come! Florida pics to follow...
