Overwhelming

That is the word we use to describe all things baby registry this weekend. My goodness...is there A LOT of things to think about and A LOT of stuff to choose from. Our heads were spinning as we were walked around the massive store filled from floor to ceiling with toys and bottles and clothes and bouncy chairs and whatever. I mean look at all the car seats and strollers they have!


It's enough to make you want to forget what the doctors say and grab a big drink ~ I didn't, of course! We headed to Buy Buy Baby first thing Saturday morning to set up our registry and were treated to the knowledge of an associate named Claire. She must have seen the blank stares on our face because she took us under her wing and helped us sort through the sea of pink and blue.


First stop was car seats and boy did she WOW us. We never thought we'd have the reaction that we did when she showed us how easy it was to install the base of the Chicco KeyFit car seat on her test bench seat. I almost hugged her! From there we went to strollers, then playards, then high chairs, then bath time and then safety. The good news is that in 2 hours, she helped us pick all kinds of stuff for the kid. The bad news ~ we are no where near done. But it was time to go. We were hungry and tired and could not look at one more pacifier or Boppy pillow.

Another trip to Buy Buy Baby is in store for us...but not before a little break. We need about a week to decompose and regroup. Plus I am headed to California tomorrow for the week to attend a conference and I can pretty much guarantee that Ed will not sneak off to add more baby stuff to the registry. :)
