Am I crazy to even think about do this?
| Fri, 10-05-2012 - 8:02pm |
Since I am having an early November baby, do you think I am crazy for thinking about going out on Black Friday to Khol's, Babies R US and Joann's with my lo in a wrap carrier? I really want to look for good baby deals at Khol's and Babies R US since I have don't have much in the way of baby things.

I've done Black Friday while giantly pregnant, about this far along, and those crazy people showed ZERO consideration. I wouldn't risk it, especially at Walmart & Toys R Us/Babies R Us. Target is usually more civilized and so is Kohl's, but if you're trying for the doorbuster type stuff, you'll have to wait outside in line before the store opens, which = a 2 or 3 week old baby in the cold.
If you shop online, you get to start at midnight, and you'll get great deals too, but if you just want to get out to feel normal (which may be my reasoning for going), can you leave the baby with Daddy?
Thank you everyone for your advise. Joann's and Khols are fairly tame compared to places like Best Buy and Walmart on Black Friday and have things in the stores you can't get online. My MIL and I are going to try to go out to at least Khols and Joann's around 9 that morning since those stores door busters are from opening until noon and you just have to be in the store by that time, not at the check out. I would never go to the HUGE places like target, Best Buy, and Walmart because going into those stores normally is terrible. If BRU has good online sales then I can just skip that store. And my DH can't watch my lo because he has to work from 7am to 7pm since he fixes computers at Best Buy.
