Bag time!
So the countdown begins... I am really starting to feel overwhelmed these days with all the inevitable events approaching this year - namely welcoming Monster Kwan... I only have a little over 3 months until my due date, provided I last until then and nothing has been done. The nursery is not painted, I have ordered/bought none of the baby furniture and it's as if reality hasn't truly hit yet. Either that or I am in serious denial. The one thing I did do this past weekend was register at BRU. I figured it would be a good way to have a "list" of items that I'll need to prepare for him... The visit to BRU was an experience in itself and I didn't know the difference from one product to another. I was told after I was done that I was missing many items and that I still had a lot of work to do on the registry list. *sigh* I will get to it... eventually. At least step one of registering was done...
Instead of researching and buying baby items I find myself wandering off to other websites... Websites that hold endless goodies for me. I almost feel a sense of loss knowing that once he comes, I won't be able to spend and buy as I used to. No more spending $3,000 on a Chanel bag or $600 on Gucci pumps...
It is kind of depressing. My life is going to change... And change drastically. It's no longer going to be about me. I can't be selfish anymore. It'll have to be all about him. What he needs and what he wants. I hope I can do it... I have already given up on clothes now that my belly is seriously protruding cuz of Monster Kwan. I feel fat and heavy and unstable... Walking is a mission sometimes and putting on my shoes is becoming a challenge. The sacrifices... But as everyone keeps telling me, it's supposed to be all worth it. We will see. We will see...
In London I went into the Gucci store to look around and there were a few bags that caught my eye, but in the end I bought a bag for the baby - a diaper bag. Perhaps this was a small step toward my willingness to sacrifice...? I dunno... One upside was that Freddie said he would carry the bag too!
I guess it's cool enough to be a daddy diaper bag too!
So I feel the need to buy a bag for myself. A treat for mommy before Monster Kwan arrives... I have been eyeing a bag from the Linea Pelle Collection. Apparently its leather is super soft and irresistible. I have yet to see one at Neimans, Bergdorfs, etc since they seem to be out of stock so I haven't been able to feel it myself. However, they do sell it online and I am tempted. So tempted. I just might have to buy myself a goodie afterall. I deserve it don't I? I know I should be saving money or spending on the baby, but I'm just not quite ready to do that yet. I will. I will. But just not yet... Check out LP's Dylan Zip Tote. There are other bags from the Dylan line that are equally impressive...
