Tomorrow we plan to finally make some headway on a baby registry. My guess is that our first stop will be the obvious choice, Babies R Us. Being as anal as we are about researching everything we do, the prospect of buying baby stuff is incredibly overwhelming to me... just wayyy too much to read about.
I mean... What makes a good stroller and why? And why are there like 10 billion different types? Can they really be that different? All you really need is four wheels, a seat and a handle to push. Shouldn't be that complicated. But I know it is.
And of course once we get passed that hurdle, there are also 98 different playpens to choose from, 126 different breast pumps, 8 different diaper brands, 1823 cribs, 892 bassinets, 716 car seats, 82 baby monitors, 64 diaper bags, 28 pacifiers, 31 teething rings, 14 changing pads, 292 slings and pouches, 16 types of bottles... and the list rolls on. Good Lord. Forget it.
No baby registry. I'm tired just thinking about it.
Seriously though, hopefully the customer service at Babies R Us will be worth their salt and able to make life a lot easier for us when it comes to this baby registry ordeal. Given that we haven't done much to really celebrate and enjoy the pregnancy lately (we've just been too busy), I'm hoping to really make this a fun outting tomorrow... unlike the absolute chore / nightmare that choosing our wedding registry became two years ago.
Anyhow, stay tuned for the verdict.
