baby stuff
Yesterday evening we went and registered for baby at Babies R Us. The experience was quite fun. Nick manned the scanner and I kept track of the checklist we had....
Anyway...it was fun looking at pack and plays (since we're not doing an actual crib). Those things have definitely changed over the years! Now they have vibrating mattresses, soothing music, changing tables, removable bassinet layer, and a mobile....all in one! Our most favorite find of the evening was the stroller. We didn't want one of the Graco bulky things. Nick asked another couple who were nearby what stroller they liked...the woman said she had been researching strollers and she recommended a Combi. So we went just to check them out.....they are pretty neat. They are super light, but not flimsy or cheap...and they fold into nothing! Anyway, it's a pretty cool stroller and we're excited to use it.
We got all of the basics covered and decided to look at clothes...unfortunately the girls clothing wasn't very cute...they were all butteryflies, lambs, bugs.....seriously not that great...kind of a bummer, but not a huge deal I guess.
When we left we were talking about how we felt it was a "successful" trip. We decided that registering for baby was way more fun than registering for a wedding. We didn't argue one bit this time and we didn't have much of a problem agreeing on items this time. :)
Now we just have to tackle Target. Hopefully they will have some cute clothes. :)

I can't wait to buy Baby Flies something super cute!!!! This post actually makes me want to go to Babies "R" Us today :)
I was just thinking.... The last time I was in Hy-Vee it appeared they were closing out on their baby stuff. They had a few things left at super low prices--swings, bouncies, etc.... I don't know if there's anything left, but I thought I'd let you know in case you're interested in looking. :-)
Love,

I mis-read it to say that Nick NAMED the scanner. I started laughing, picturing that yes, that sounded like something he would do. Then, I realized I just read it wrong. Maybe he should name the scanner now, just for fun.
ok funny. we have that exact same pack n play (just different colors) and exact same stroller. we had a combo stroller and we loved it. but when we moved to spain, it wasn't a great fit. it was too wide for the metro gates, and took up too much room in small europe. so when i went back to the states to pick up my visa, i bought that stroller. :) we love it. and if you ever move to europe, it works well!
