Baby Shopping

I guess I could have included this with the “Random Thoughts” post, but they just didn’t really go together.

We had a nice long weekend (we were off for Martin Luther King Day).  So we went baby shopping on Saturday.  That was fun (please note the sarcasm).  I was so overwhelmed.  First, I felt out of place because all the pregnant women in there were much more pregnant than me.  Then, there was just so much stuff.  All the cribs started running together.  At one point we sat down and I just poured out how stressed I was.  Johnathan kept telling me to get over it (lot of help that was) so, despite his “efforts”, I just got more frustrated.  Then, he finally suggested we take a piece of paper around and start writing down what we liked.  Well, when we asked for a piece of paper, the woman took that as a cue to start helping us.  I was less than thrilled with that.  The last thing I needed was some pushy sales person that probably worked on commission.  But she was so helpful.  It was great.  She even made me feel better about being there because she started telling us how long it took for beds to come in (some took 6-8 weeks).  We said that was fine because we weren’t due until July.  She commended us for being on top of things.  Most people come in and need something “now”.  So now we have some ideas.  Then, we went to Target and got more ideas.  Baby stuff is expensive.  I guess they kind of have you over a barrel because you need it.

To answer your question, no, we didn’t pick anything.  However, we are now aware of the fact that we have completely different tastes.  ;)
