I really want to drive down there to check out the stuff, buy a few things for the baby and finish my baby registry. Anyone want to go with me?

When are you wanting to go?

Just a thought-- You might want to emphasize that you mean the Babies R Us in Corte Madera (I think it was there) as opposed to the mini one they have in Toys R Us here..........

Oh i forgot about that Kaisa. I am so used to having three Babies R Us stores to choose from that are all 10 miles from my house. Of course that was back in SO Cal.

Yes I want to head over to one of those that are really far away. I only know of the one in Sausalito, CA which is why i havent gone yet. I dont want to drive that far alone.

As for when, I would love to head out the second week of January. I cant this coming week becuase my brother and sister are coming over on wednesday and I have a friend from Germany also visiting probably thursday or friday. I suppose there is still the weekend but considering i have such a full week ahead i think its better to wait until next week. I dont want to push myself to hard and end up in labor. I have to hold out until at least the 20th since that is when Jackie is taking my preggo photos.

How old does the stuff there go up to? Like do they have toddler stuff? How much of a drive is it and when you go, are you bringing the girls?

Well...When i go i will just have Myah, Kayla will be in school. That way there is one less kid and we can beat traffic. That is unless someone would rather go on the weekend then i will have two kids.

as far as sizes, they go up to tot. It was a sad day when Kayla out grew all her 4T clothes becuase I couldnt shop for her at Babies R Us anymore. They definately have stuff for Alaina in both toys and clothes. I think that is where my mom got Kayla's tot bed and bedding too if my memories is correct.

Distance, i think the one is Sausalita is the closest but that is jsut before the Golden Gate bridge so that will give you an idea for distance.

I hope you guys have a safe trip! Have fun shopping!

Lisa if you are concerned with fitting everyone, you guys could pitch in and rent a full size van from U-Haul for like $20 plus mileage I think!

We take up a whole van ourselves Tina :lol. Srly we can't have anymore kids w/o having to get a conversion or one of those 15 passengers ;) and I was just gonna go if it worked out w/o a big hassle otherwise I can pass. I can't buy anything anyway.

If I secure this daycare, client then sometime in February I want to head back to IKEA again! I love that place.

I heard there is one coming to Petaluma. Of course these things take years to plan and build!

I went there with Miaja this summer and Andrew was dissappointed to discover that he was too old/tall to go into the playroom.

Alexis, however, was happy to learn she was finally old enough to go in. The last time we went before that trip Alexis was 18months old and in diapers. They do not allow diapered kids into the playroom. So she went in alone and had a great time.

The one here does not have the huge ball pit I am used to though! Still looks fun!

So who decided to go? I know you guys are going sooner than originally planned, but who all is going to Babies R Us?

Lisa, my schedule is busy but very flexible now so once the funds are not an issue we are soooooo there! I need stuff to get organized, it is one of my New Years resolutions after all!

So save up Lisa!

Tina, as far as i know the only one who said for sure was Maribel becuase she wants to help me with my baby registry and make sure i dont walk to much or i will go into labor. We are still trying to figure out how to get there though since Kayla is out of school and it looks like we will each have to take our own car (bummer)

Anyone is welcome to come along though. It will be fun and Babies R Us has got to be one of my most favorite stores :)

When were y'all planning on going? I have a 7 seater so if you go after 4 or on the weekend (and if I go, too...lol) there's 5 more seats....

Hey Kellie...let me talk to Marible later today about it becuase if we all go Saturday then we will all fit into one car. :woohooMaribel, myself and the kids make five so that would mean we would be using every single seat in your car LOL. Then we can just chip in for gas.

hey i tried calling you but your phone was busy...i was talking to maribel this morning and we were wondering if we all went together tomorrow, what time did you want to go and would your car fit our 2 full size car seats, two adults and an eight year old kid? I know you said you had space for 5 more people.

I plan on it :) this is the last time i will really get to get out until the baby comes. As i get closer to my due date, well really the end of the month, i want to stay as close to the hospital as possible and dont plan on leaving SR at all.
