Officially overwhelmed
Aug. 17th, 2009 06:21 pmI have been trying slowly over the last couple weeks to get the baby registry done. A couple things to note:1-i am a serious minimalist my "worst" hording thing is books 2- i don't want a bunch of stuff I'm going to have to [store/move/box/sell/return/goodwill].
I am not sure how much stuff a one pound(right now) piglet really will need in 4 months or the next year or the year after that.
I need diapers i know the kind i want to use(gdiapers:www.gdiapers.com) but i don't know how many in what sizes to register for an i know that i might need some swaddlers which will have to be disposable but that really depends on how big he is when he gets here my bother and i were 8 lbs-ish, so i might not need them. I'm sure some disposable ones will get used but by far i what to do the gdiapers.
Clothes: Seriously the cute or unique ones are REALLY REALLY expensive, and while I'm sure he won't bee more than a few of those cute ones(i think they are mostly for the parents anyway), but how many in what size should i register for in oneisies ? will he really need pants? Jackets(he's a winter arrival)? what ever
All i really want is the big expensive things like the pack and play, the car seat, stroller, and books
Books are easy, they cost lot and are really in important IMHO.Yes some of them will be over the level of the kid to read for some years but that does not mean we should not have them or that We can't read them to him sooner.
Crib sheets: how many of those?, baby cds: do i really need these?
i could use a day of pampering at the spa - is it completely selfish to want to register for that ?
Toys: oh god please don't' get me started on toys
on top of this materialistic quandary we still need to pick a pediatrician, i need to preregister at the hospital, take a birth class and basic baby care class(CPR and what not), decide about circumcision(fun since we don't agree on the issue), and there is work and school and bills and prenatal testing
