Calling all mothers!

As I mentioned, Kevin and I registered at Babies 'R Us on Saturday for all those baby necessities. As you also know, we are grade-A, 100% rookies! We would look at each other with a glazed expression and one of us would ask, "Uh, do we need one of those? Which one should we get? How many different kinds of bottle nipples are there in the world?!?"

While we feel pretty confident in the things we registered for (absolute lack of experience talking there), we are also confident that we usually have no idea what we're talking about. That's where you come in!

I received a fantastic email from my dear friend Amber W. in TX telling me that after 2 kids, if she could go back and register for ONE thing, it would be a temporal thermometer. It's a little pricey (about $50), but when you have a sick baby is absolutely essential! It is the kind they use at the pediatricians office, and she said that if I don't register for one I'll want to run right out and buy one the first time the Littlest gets sick, and to heck with the cost.

This is invaluable information that I, of course, would not have known if it hadn't been revealed to me by the loving wisdom of my friend.

Sooooooo, mothers...if you have a beloved product that you feel like no new mother should live without, let me know!

**Disclaimer: If, after you have lovingly passed along your hard-earned wisdom, you should visit my registry and not find your item listed, I'm sure there is a very good reason, such as any one or more of the following: a.) I haven't gotten around to adding it yet, b.) we already have one, c.) I will be borrowing said item from Kev's cousin Carrie who has 3 children under the age of 3 and whose house is a veritable Babies 'R Us all by itself, or d.) I once again have completely forgotten something else important -- what my friend Amber W. refers to as "my brains are falling out." See here for explanation.
