I've got the fever BAD! I went shopping for a friend's baby shower gift today. I usually spend between $50-100 on a gift, depending on who the mommy-to-be is. Well, I worked with this friend pretty closely for about a year, so we're pretty good friends, but not like best buds or anything. I know I miss her a lot- but I miss all of my old co-workers a lot. So DH knew I had this shower coming up, and he was like "Try to only spend $20." He kept drilling it into my brain to keep a $20 budget, and I really was set on it. I was going to get her one $20 item.

Well.... I spent over $100. And that's AFTER I took a long evaluation of my cart and put things back. I was at the store for three hours gushing over baby things. Thank God my mom called me and said she wanted to meet me for dinner right then, because I would have been there until the store closed I'm sure...

I think there were two driving forces. The first was that my friend is having a little girl. I never get to shop for little girls! I have a niece, but my sister never uses any of the things that I buy for her, so I stopped. For a long time, it seemed like every shower I went to was for a baby boy, and it was fun shopping for pink lace for a change! The other reason I couldn't stick to my budget is because I'm waiting to test. I'm making myself wait for one more week of high temps before testing, but it's sooo hard to wait. I mean testing now won't do anything for me, I know I need to wait, but I just wish that this weekend were NEXT weekend KWIM? So all this waiting has my brain in "BABY BABY BABY" mode.

Well the good news is that you're getting really close to being able to test! Baby fever is hard, isn't it? Hopefully you'll be able to go shopping for yourself really soon!

Um hello, did you see your temp this morning!?!?!?! No wonder you've got baby fever, your chart is looking fantastic! When are you testing??

OMGosh your hubby sounds like mine. He is always trying to get me to stick with his budget plan. It usually doesn't work. LOL.

I am glad you had fun shopping and hope the shopping rubs off some extra baby dust on you.

Holy cow that temp today was AWESOME! I'll have to keep my eye on your chart!
