New Stuff

So it's getting to be time to start being serious about this baby business I guess...

We did buy ourselves an infant carrier/car seat last night. As with most of our purchases it was on an impulse. When we left White Hall to come back to Conway last night, I asked Jax if she was willing to go to Wendy's or some other such place to have a milkshake. We decided to go to the store and buy ice cream and make out own milkshakes instead. While we were there we decided to look at car seats, just to see what they had available.

We found the one true car seat at Wal Mart in Pine Bluff while visiting my parents, but they were out of stock of the particular design we wanted. We weren't too upset about it since we still have about 4 months before we need one, but it did spark an interest. Anyway, since we went to Wal Mart to get ice cream anyway, we decided to check on stock levels in Conway, just to look.

At "Old Wal Mart" in Conway they only had the display again, but we learned something interesting nonetheless. Each Wal Mart sets its own prices on stuff. The Pine Bluff store had the car seat listed at $57.50 while Old Wal Mart in Conway had them listed for $49.50. Surprise! Just for fun we decided to go to New Wal Mart and see if they had any in stock. To our surprise, they did have them in stock! Also to our chagrin they had them listed at $54.50, or five (5) dollars more than the store that is five (5) miles away... But we decided to go ahead and get it, just because. So now we have a car seat/infant carrier. Hooray!

So here's a picture since everyone is just dying to know what it looks like:
