Earlier this week Kevin and I spontaneously decided to get started on our Baby Registry. I had initially wanted to set a night aside for the two of us to sit down at a computer and do some research. Well of course not. What fun would that be? And how in the hell would I ever maintain his attention long enough to ask his opinion on every category that I'd actually want his opinion on?
Away we go to the Babies R' Us 25 minutes away that I was already at earlier that day. We cranked up Jock Jams on Pandora and hit the road jamming out to early 90's in preparation for football season. And yes, we legitimately belt it out, moves and all.
Notice Kevin's shirt. He changed into his light pink shirt after work for his Baby Girl.
(ummm.. I can't wait for him to be a Daddy!!)
So here we go, armed with our little laser and completely unprepared to Register for anything we were about to put on the list. But hey, you have to start somewhere, and why not make a little fun out of it?
Kevin felt empowered to be the ruler of the Laser. I allowed him as much freedom as I could without going into crazy-bitch mode for scanning all sorts of stuff we really didn't need. And he looked so darn cute and was actually really into it!
But I did have to pull the reins in on him a bit as he was quite trigger happy.
I had done a very small amount of research on products we'd like to register for before we went, so we made some "educated" guesses (more like Hearsay guesses since many of my comments started with "But I heard..." or "They say..."). I know I will be spending the next couple of months really getting it all the way we need it. There's also so much more available online than there is in the store. And we were also informed that our Babies R' Us is one of the smallest ones in the country.
Luckily we both hit a wall at about the same time. "Yeah..... I'm about over this." "Me too." But it was just in enough time to remember that we wanted to start buying diapers regularly to start stocking up. So we bought our very first box of diapers.
I can't imagine what other "seasoned" parents thought of us. New parents-to-be giddy and glossy-eyed at selecting thousands of dollars of products for our little human. I don't know if I'd love seeing this or if I'd simply roll my eyes. Either way, Kevin and I had fun. And we also got to ride home with this sunset.
