I am not a "shopper" by nature, so when I do get in the mood, I BUY stuff. Yesterday I bought Mateo's carseat, his clothes for the hospital, and his "square" blanket (each of the boys have one that has squares on it.) I also bought my secret shower gift :-D and hope to get that in the mail tomorrow. Today I bought a swingset and a bunkbed (both on sale, and we were planning on buying when dh got home), and I finally found a maternity Easter dress, and a cardigan sweater to go with it ($25 for the dress and $20 for the sweater!) I also bought a shirt to wear on DH's homecoming! I finally feel like I'm doing something to get ready for baby's arrival!

OMG! I LOVE the name Mateo! When did you decide on it? Such a handsome, strong name. Sounds great with your other boy's names. OMG, it's cute!

Great goin Mama! I'm a total shopaholic, so it's been hard for me to sit back and not shop. Sounds like you got some great deals though!

You go. That is awesome. You totally racked up!!! After my little trip to the doctors office today, I'm now really stressed because we've basically done nothing yet. You need to send you shopping vibes my way!!!

I'm glad you got to get some of that shopping out of the way! I love the name as well and Carley is right, it does go really well with your other sons names.

Good for you! Sounds like you hit the right time to shop, too.
I love the name you've chosen, too. Any middle name?

Thanks guys! We decided on Mateo James. We just like Mateo, it means gift from God, is orinally Hebrew, but is also the Spanish version of Matthew (dh is hispanic) and James is dh's dad and brother's name. His father passed away 3 years ago, and his brother is a junior, but he told me if he ever has a boy he doesn't plan on making him the third, and he would be honored to have our baby named after him and his father. Basically, I made a list of individual names I liked, e-mailed it to dh, and he told me liked Mateo James. This was probably the easiest time we've ever had naming one of our kids!

Yay!! Sounds like you've gotten a lot accomplished the past few days!

I am not a shopper either -- and when we go shopping for something -- we shop A LOT!!! I'm glad that you found the energy and time to get out and do a bit of shopping for Mateo (LOVE IT!!!) and yourself!!
