Car Seats, and Bottles, and Diapers…Oh My!
Have you ever stopped to think about how much stuff it takes to feed, and bathe, and care for a baby these days? Saturday was the great registry adventure, and I must say that we were a bit overwhelmed!
It all started about 10:30 at Babies ‘R Us. It took a few minutes to fill out the registry paperwork, but we were soon set free in the aisles armed with a trusty scanner gun. (M really enjoyed using the scanner guns.) Within a few seconds we were standing in the feeding section wondering why there had to be seventy-five different types of bottles and which type did we want to have living in our cabinets. We then moved on to bathtubs (again, there were way more options than are truly necessary) and spent the next 90 minutes or so making a lot of decisions that were made more on personal preference than on facts about the products. I feel comfortable with the products we chose based on research, but things that weren’t reviewed by Consumer Reports…well, that’s another matter all together. Our adventure wrapped up about 3:00 after registering at Target, and both of us were exhausted mentally and physically!
Hopefully, as first timers, we at least got some of the things we’ll need on the registry. I did notice that we seemed to put a lot of 0-3 months size onsies on the list. Too many? Give us a few months and we’ll have a better idea.
