Well, I showed you how spoiled Gavin was over the trip but I haven't mentioned much about what Jarrod and I got. I honestly didn't take many pictures either, but here are a few things.
Megan wrapped up her print that I wanted for Gavin's bathroom - it says, "I love you more than all of the fish in the ocean." It looks great in his bathroom.
And she totally surprised me with this new camera strap! I LOVE IT!!! I bought her one last year and told her how much I wanted one of my own and finally have one. Isn't it just the most adorable thing ever?
Jarrod got this new alarm clock which we are both so thrilled about. His alarm clock was hard to set and mine was literally in three pieces (thanks, Gavin.) This new one projects the time on the ceiling, so I got to throw my old one away and I can see what time it is without having to sit up and look over Jarrod. It's lovely! It also displays the temperature, which I think it pretty clever, and is a sound machine, which will come in handy when we have a sleeping baby in our room.
We got lots of other goodies including gift cards to Walmart (which sadly are already gone....we spend way too much money at that store! Thanks, Rose and Sandy. They were great gifts!). Jarrod got a Bass Pro gift card and I got a Spa Finder gift card. :) We got some new clothes and Jarrod got another Nutcracker to add to his collection - this one is a hunter, very fitting!
Friday morning, my mom, Rosi and I were at Walmart at 4am to start our Black Friday shopping. I LOVE shopping on Black Friday and I'm so glad that after a 2 year break I got to go again. We got some great deals and had some nice bonding time, including over a nice hot breakfast!
Then, Rosi surprised me with this really-early birthday present!
We finally have a Wii! I'm so excited about it. We've already had a fun 'Wii Date Night' where I beat Jarrod in archery. Yay!
After shopping, Jarrod and I got back on the road with a VERY full truck. I'm so glad we took Jarrod truck this time! It was packed. The drive home seemed much longer than the drive to Ohio. It's always like that though, huh? We spent the drive talking about baby things, of course. Baby names were discussed, and no, we're not telling. I thought about the things we'll need, like a double stroller, a new diaper bag (I didn't like ours, so I sold it...), a new highchair (since I ruined ours). I thought about things I want to get, like a food processor, so I can make my own baby food this time around, and how I'd like to cloth diaper this time. Of course, we have a long time to think about all those things, but it's hard not to have it on my mind all the time. I've been told the second pregnancy goes much faster than the first one, so I'm trying to plan ahead! :)
We arrived back to Arkansas late Friday night and spent Saturday and Sunday getting things unpacked, organized, and sorted. And, I'm still not done...Gavin's toy room still needs a lot of work! That's on my agenda for this weekend!
