Baby Stuff
by Roger on Jun.25, 2007, under Natalia
One thing that everyone keeps asking me is how I feel about the whole pregnancy/parent-to-be thing.
I must say that I don’t think about it much. It could be because I’m too busy trying to keep up with what’s going on today or more likely because I just don’t think about things that far in advance…that’s Lisa’s department.
Having said that this past weekend I was a little closer to realizing what awaits me. We decided to go to one of those baby stores to check out strollers and also to have a look at what else there is for baby. I soon found out there is way too much stuff that babies need. And I wondered how a person that has just come to this world could need so much stuff?
The one thing I am excited to get is the stroller, that’s the only thing that I can really use -not that I’m self involved or anything. I did try to see if I could get away with using baby’s towels but no dice.
For a couple that isn’t so much into having ‘stuff’ we are about to get a lot of it. Maybe babies should come with some sort of rebate or gift certificate for the stuff they will need. At the very least they should come with a list of what they do and don’t like so you don’t have to go buy the bottles that are ‘bla bla bla’ just to find out that baby only likes the kind that are ‘bla bla bla plus’.
I should stop dwelling on that and focus on the fact that we also begun – yes six months in we’ve only begun – to think of baby names. We have a couple of contenders both for boy and girl and I’m happy to report that Taco or Effen did not make the list. I’m not sure what we’ll end up with but I have a feeling that even though we have not decided, the list is very short. Maybe we’ll just call it Undecided.
