Registering

On Saturday, which was beautiful by the way, Jesus and I went to Babies R Us to register for our little bundle of joy. When we walked in, there was another couple that was getting all set up to go register as well, so the gal at the registration desk just gave us all the "This is How You Register for Stuff" speech as a group. But this also meant that we were both free to be overwhelmed by the huge list of stuff to register for at the same time.

When you sign up, they give you the scanner gun (I let Jesus be manly and wield the gun) and a little packet that has a list of stuff that you will want to be sure to register for. Stuff like crib sheets, bottles, pacifiers, etc. If you follow the list, it will take you in a little.. okay, big.. circle around the store. The first stop was breast pumps, bottles and other paraphernalia of that nature, stuff that both Jesus and I have extensive knowledge of (ha!). And since both of us couples were released at the same time, we both kind of stood there like "What kind are they getting?" "Are they getting the right one?" "Am I getting the wrong one?" I know, we're not supposed to care what other people buy, we're supposed to get what we want. But, we're human, okay? Then, once you decided on one of the 9,438 different types of bottle to choose from, there were 579 different types of nipples to put on the bottles. So needless to say, we have a couple (thousand) combos on our list. We should be covered... hopefully.

We soon got into a rhythm picking out stuff. I think Jesus scanned every "I Love Daddy" thing there was. I've noticed that all the "I Love Mommy" stuff is for boys and all the "I Love Daddy" stuff is for girls. What the heck?? Do girls not love their Mommies? Do boys not love their daddies? Jesus has also decided that we are not doing Dora or Tinkerbell because Dora shows her bellybutton and Tinkerbell has too much cleavage and her skirt is too short. We're also not doing the "Princess" or "Diva" thing because he doesn't like that either. I will continue to smile & nod.
