Trip to Babies R Us

Jordan an I went to Babies R Us last week to register. I have to say I was quite impressed with Jordan. I thought he'd be uncomfortable and itching to leave. He may have felt that way but he definitely didn't show it. He was pushing around strollers, checking out car seats, shaking cribs & suggesting we look at more items when I was saying I thought we were done. (I so wish I had my camera when he was pushing around the stroller)

We had a good time but it was very overwhelming. There is SOOOO much stuff in there and so many different choices & brands. I've actually been asking a few of my friends who are parents or have recently gone through the process of picking out items how they decided what to go with - and what not to buy. Margaret, Jeremy & Kristine gave me some good tips on items to get and some that just are not necessary. Thank you!!

We find out what the sex of the baby is (as long as the baby cooperates) on July 19th. I think once we know what we are having it will be easier to pick out items we'll need. I've heard from a small portion of people that they feel we shouldn't find out what we are having - we should be surprised.

Jordan an I just don't feel that way. It's not much of a surprise - it's going to be either a girl or a boy - that's it. No other options. I guess I don't find the sex of the baby a surprise. I think what the baby will look like & their personality is more of a surprise than if it's a boy or a girl. So for everyone who didn't want us to find out - sorry! You were able to make your choice of what you wanted to do when you were pregnant - now it's our turn!

On a side note, Jordan an I went to a 80's party last weekend. Jordan went as magnum pi. Not sure you can see in the picture but I actually found hot pink jelly shoes. Thought you might enjoy some of the pictures. If you want to see more click here.
