So this weekend we got up early(like usual now) and went to Target to register for baby things… non-color specific because we don’t know the sex of the baby yet. We tried to register for the “essentials”. We have used our friend’s advice and only registered for practical things… along with a couple of “gosh darn cute” things. After weeding through the aisles and making some tough choices… we moved on to Babies R Us across the street.
Much more overwhelming than the 8 aisles at Target, B.R.U more than once made me start to hyperventilate. Gabe, the great guy that he is, was in charge of a hormonally challenged, overwhelmed, pregnant lady with the beginning of a cold. Poor guy. Babies are expensive. FYI. They are cute, worth it I know, but man are they expensive. So we went through aisle after aisle of the entire store and picked out our essentials.
The clock started ticking in my head at this time. We are not moved into a house, yet. We do not have a closing date, yet. We have not ordered a crib, yet. We only have 180 days left of this pregnancy before baby arrives and if you know me, and I assume that you do, because you are reading this blog then you know that I hate to wait to the last minute to get things done. I want them done right away. No procrastination here! I want there to be paint on the walls, boxes of stuff put away from the move, and everything in place before it gets really difficult in the third trimester. Most importantly I DO NOT WANT TO LIVE IN AN APARTMENT!!! This may be asking for a lot… but I can no longer endure smoke filled rooms, parties at night, and cops being called every weekend! I do not want to bring a baby into that environment. Alright, stressful venting done. Check!
So as I was saying we are registered… we will update the list when we find out the sex of the baby in the next five weeks.
