We took this picture on Saturday morning just before we went out to register for baby gear. We spent about 2 1/2 hours at Babies 'R Us down at Union Square. We don't have a Target in the city, and the only other baby megastore is Buy Buy Baby, which they don't have in Texas. (Kevin's sisters are throwing me a shower in Dallas at the beginning of December).
Babies 'R Us has a great packet of information they give you before you register, obviously to try to help make this overwhelming process a little less daunting. But even with that, we find ourselves standing in front of an entire wall of pacifiers going, "Ummm..." I mean, really? Who in the world knows?!? And how many millions of kinds of bottle nipples can there be? Or kinds of diapers in different sizes with different features? We don't know how big the baby will be...do we buy the smallest ones? Or the middle ones? And how many of which size do we need to start? And which bathtub is best? Does it even really matter? And there are like 17 different thermometers. It's like, how confusing can we possibly make it for these first time parents. We also have the added concern of serious lack of space...so we register for the basics, and the smallest available option as well.
In spite of all of that, we actually had so much fun. Kevin definitely enjoyed this more then registering for our wedding. He was so cute, expertly wielding the registery "gun". We would have two options of a product, and he would say "yes, but which one is the best? Is that the Rolls Royce of..." whatever it was. His favorite item of the day was the Baby Bjorn, which he will be getting plenty of use of. He has been wanting to carry around our Littlest in a Bjorn for years! Well, in about 17 weeks (or so) he'll finally get his chance!

Tracey, you look great! Hope you have a fabulous week!
Tracey, you are adorable! I agree, registering was fun. Clark about had a fit that I was registering for a rectal/oral thermometer. He said, "You want to put that in my baby's rear and then put it in his mouth? I don't think so, we better get two." I never even thought about that - we were laughing in the aisles! Love you, Tami
