Babies'R'Not'Us...

We spent Thanksgiving down in Sunny San Diego this year with Mom, Lindsay and Jon (and Baby Ryno, in Lindsay's belly!).

Lindsay, Mom and I hit up Babies'R'Us for L to register and get a starting idea of what she'll need as a mom-to-be. Not surprisingly, the word overwhelming doesn't even begin to describe the feeling all three of us had as we embarked on the journey.


Lindsay apprehensively scanning

I mean, is it really necessary to have 5,000,000 choices of a bottle that the baby will use for 6 mos-1 year?? Seriously? And who knew that jogging strollers have MP3 holders and PEDOMETERS on them?!?! So cool! Though, then we learned that if you get a jogging stroller, you STILL need a "regular" stroller, I guess due to the monstrous size. Hmph.

Mom picked out her favorite bib...

"I love my Nana" bib

...and had to put her glasses on to read up on the 20-types of Baby Bjorn-type things (front only? back only? front and back? Kelte?).


We had a great time strolling the aisles and picking out fun goodies. Lindsay's bump is showing a little bit and we are all super-excited for May 2009!

Linds,

You look great. As for all the stuff, just know that you are going to be a great mother, and all this crap are just tools to help make things easier. My guess is your parents did not have a baby bjorn, but all these books these days make you feel like you are going to be a terrible parent if you don't get the right stuff. If you haven't already bought it, things get worse when trying to purchase a car seat.

As for Aunt BK? You too are going to be a great mom and Aunt...

No worries for either of you.

Brooke! How are you doing? It is so great to connect with you here and on facebook! I can't believe your sister is pregnant! Man, where does the time go? I wish I would have connected with you sooner! We used to live in San Diego!!!
