Sam and I are very comfortable with babies and baby items. We have enough young cousins, nieces, and friends with young babies to have what we consider to be a firm grasp on the basics for what is needed for raising a baby.
And then we entered the world known as Babies R Us........
This picture was taken at the registry desk where we received all kinds of free goodies :) and BEFORE we entered the Bottle Zone :) (Yes, Mommy takes the camera EVERYWHERE to document our new adventure!)
No one ever told us there would be 42 options for bottles or newborn pacifiers that are orthodontically correct (wait, newborns don't have teeth do they??). And no one told us that someone would stop us in the aisle near the organic crib mattresses and inform us that even "organic" might mean they're still using the same chemicals they use in roach killer in the inner, inner padding below the springs. If the mattress is dangerous why is a baby store selling it??
The good news is that your Daddy (thank goodness for his level thinking to counteract Mommy's overwhelmed hormones!) reminded us that when we were kids we drank out of the hose in the backyard when we were playing outside and needed a drink and we ended up ok.
So we've decided that your Pack N Play might not have the latest digital hook-ups for your Ipod...(kind of not joking here which is why this whole experience is SO scary!) but we think you'll be a better person for it. And in the meantime, Daddy will continue to spend most of his time in the toy aisle picking out the very coolest water sounds display for your nighttime enjoyment. :)
Thank goodness we ended the day with Target for the rest of your goodies!!! :)

An Ipod hook-up??? I'm scared already!
Oooooh I wish we had a crib side Ipod hookup! 'Annalia's Bedtime Playlist' or a book on Ipod pumped into the crib would be fabulous! (Those crib CD players don't last very long before they poop out.)
