Daniel and I made our way to Target this week and registered for Baby Goulet. Daniel and I learned when we did our wedding registry that we don't like making registries. So, I came prepared this time.... I had a list. I looked at websites and got advice from friends as far as what we REALLY need.
Daniel has this thing about stuff, he doesn't like to have too much of it. Usually I am on the same page, not wanting too much stuff in our house (don't judge me by my basement) and not wanting things that we will not really use. But this baby thing...it was like walking into the land of the unknown.
For instance bottles. Seemingly an easy thing to buy. Until you realize that there is a half aisle of just bottles. There are 20 different kinds of bottles, some are angled, some are glass, some look exactly the same but cost differently. We finally decided on some BPA free ones that came in a multi-pack...but wait there are pink bottles in the multi-pack. Daniel vetoed that right away, how can our STRAPPING MANLY SON drink from a bottle with a pink ring on it. We decided on individual bottles, but realized how many do we need? I think that you are getting the process.
Two and a half hours later, we were done (at least for that day). Daniel had talked me out of my impulse needs, cause some things are just so cute. And I had talked Daniel into things that I deemed "necessity."
