Email sent.

I have extra baby bathtubs, some toys he's not yet old enough for, some clothes, a vibrating bassinet that he hated, an extra monitor/ womb bear (best invention ever-- if you don't know, it makes sounds of a calm and happy heart beat that a baby's supposed to hear in the womb. It helps him sleep :D), a baby carrier and some newborn, size 1 diapers.

I have to pick up some 3-6, 6-9 and 9-12 month clothes; I'm running out of things that will fit him XD

HEY, are we doing a carpool to this thing? I'm running out of gas and payday is the next day. :/ I don't think I have the gas, but if there's ladies on Camp Pendleton (closer to Escondido), I can either ride with you and give you a couple of bucks or vice versa. (anyone with a minivan? I have a 4month old :3)

Car pooling is an excellent idea, however Im in SD, I have a SUV 9 seater but that would be out of my way....:confuzzle Let me know if you get a ride or not, if its not too much out of my way I dont see why we couldnt help you out with a ride. Keep in touch!

I DO need a ride because I'll be broke and gasless around that time. :( I'll trade you some baby clothes... my son's growing like a weed and he doesn't fit anymore of his newborn clothes. I'll bring him.

I also have a BUNCH of size 1 diapers, a baby bath tub and some other gear if you're interested. Figure it's "payment" for taking me there: you get first dibs of the stuff I'm donating. :D

Oh ya: hubs has duty that day and I'm in need of company. Anyone wanna come over to my house?

FYI: I emailed the address, but I haven't got a reply yet.

Anyone on/around CP need a lift? I actually have enough gas now. I can fit up to two people or one person and a baby seat in back and one up front. Also: anyone want to come over for fresh brownies after this thing? :D

:bump

I'll be up there tomorrow; anyone need a lift from the CP area? I'll be at my house until about 1000ish; have to do some military related stuff before I go.

If anyone needs a ride, hit me up before then.

'K this thing was kind of disappointing, but it wasn't its fault. Mapquest screwed me over on directions.

I WAS told that there was due to be another one about the 20th of August. I was also told there is an Operation Homefront warehouse off 32nd st, where you can get diapers amnd clothes. Anyone knpw where this is?

Someone from here gave me this link once when we really needed it, and I saved in case we ever needed it again. http://www.sandiegomom.org/5043/5106.html

the whole thing sucked everyone and their mom was there, we got there at 12:30 a half hour before it was suppose to start and they were out of everything, we got a total of 3 blankets. They told me another one was on August 22nd let me know if I heard wrong cause I want to get there early like everyone else did so I can at least make my trip there worth it this time.
