Uh oh, the shopping has begun

Okay, we don't even have a child matched with us but I'm in shopping mode. I really did hold off as long as I could. And I'm still exercising major restraint as you'll see from the fact that there are only two items shown below for our second child.

I bought this panda Blabla doll for our second child and the orange monkey Blabla doll for Claire.
An acquaintance has one of these for her daughter and Claire immediately fell in love with it. These dolls are sooooo soft and cuddly. I hope it will be a nice tactile comfort toy for our new little one.

I have no idea if we will be referred a boy, but I had to get this boy's t-shirt. It was on sale, after all! I'm finding that shopping for a boy's clothes CAN be fun (I always thought it wasn't as fun as shopping for girls), especially with some cool Asian-themed stuff out right now. However, since we don't know for sure if we'll get a boy, and his size is anyone's guess, I'll stick to this one clothing purchase for now.

Oh, it's so hard to wait. Sometimes you see things and you just can't hold back even though you don't have ANY information about the child. Hopefully soon you'll be able to go crazy. Until then, save your pennies and....stay out of the mall!

That shirt is adorable! I never really paid attention to boys clothes in China. And Claire will be needing some new silk dresses in China, I'm sure. You'll be shopping vets this time! I'm sure you've already done lots of mental shopping at home so you'll be ready to buy once you get your referral. Have fun looking for sales in the meantime.

You've shown great restraint only buying two things so far! There are some really cute things for boys now, I'm sure you'll have no trouble shopping if you find out you'll be adding a son to your family.

Love the Blabla dolls, where did you get them?
