Packing for the hospital (No slipper-socks in FL)


Last night was Family Home Evening, so for our activity we decided we should use our "Prepared Childbirth" handbook and pack for the hospital. Just in case, we still have like six weeks to go. But we decided to document our adventure. And where better to aquire objects for the hospital than ..... WALMART! But on the way Andrew asked what where the two things I really wanted to make sure we got. Well this was easy a light weight robe and slipper socks. You know the kind, the kind with the tread on the bottom.
Then we got there!!! We went straight for the night-time apparel. But what should we find but only fluffy heavy velvety robes. This was not what I was looking for at all. We wanted something different, a cheaper, thinner, low quality robe. And they had nothing. Well then, we where just going to have to settle for the socks on that adventure. But you will not belive what we discovered. No slipper-socks? We looked all over for this item and then asked the clerk, they don't carry them. I was astonished. But Andrew and I then began to laugh, obviously they will not have a high high demand for slipper-socks right after an extremely hot summer in FL. We are just use to ID and UT where their is a need for slipper-socks year round!

Do you need me to send you some slipper socks, little mama sister? There is no shortage of them here in the bitterly cold midwest.

Speaking of sending packages, please call me when you get the one I sent you. It should get there today.

Have fun with all the baby preparations! It's not going to be very long before you start feeling those contractions and wondering where the time went. Do a lot of fun things together because in about two months, those quite couple times will be few and far between. We love you guys and are so happy for you. See you in a few weeks.

I never thought about the fact that some places don't carry slipper socks. Interesting though that they carry HEAVY robes, not light ones after that hot summer. Seems a little inconsistent I'd say. :) Thanks for blogging your preparations!
