Decisions... Decisions...


sweater: TJMaxx, shirt: Ralph Lauren, skirt: J.Crew, shoes: Payless
(31 weeks pregnant and wishing I could wear Pjs all the time)

So this whole buying-stuff-for-the-baby thing is exhausting. I'm not sure what's harder picking out hard wood floors or a stroller. Definitely the stroller. Then you need a car seat, glider for nursery, bottles, diapers, wipes, blankets, swaddling cloths and whole lot more. 

My hubby and I are both perfectionists (he's to a lesser degree but still in denial) so we scan almost everything with the phone app and look online for the reviews (and better deals, of course). 
So we were buying swaddling sheets and between couple choices of cotton and muslin, we stood in the baby isle for about ten minutes checking the reviews. Yeah, talk about perfectionists. After thorough consideration and mini discussion, we decided on muslin.

Next on the menu, picking out a travel system. There are many requirements and different criteria that we want it to meet and, in a way, we are probably over doing it a little. But it's our first, and we are nutty parents,  maybe just a little. So for now, we are going to research the living days out of every single thing. 
I think we are becoming those parents. 
And that's just scary.

  1. I was the same way when it came to getting ready for our son. Now there are so many cool gadgets out there to make life easier. We ended up with so much stuff that we didn't need! It's ok to be a little nutty! Even the ones who say they weren't, really were nutty!

  2. There are definitely SO many decisions. We are in the process of getting rid of all of our baby gear as our youngest is getting older. It is nice to see the things that held up for all four of our boys! Good luck with all of the decisions!
