After looking at lots of things online, and getting lots of advice from fellow friends and family, Dan and I finally ventured into Babies R Us to create our registry. In the middle of the morning. On a Saturday.
What were we thinking???
For those of you new to Babies R Us, like us, this place is pretty overwhelming. Where do we start...strollers, furniture, infant care? Who knew two little babies could need so much stuff? We decided to just start at aisle 1, and go from there. Apparently we weren't the only ones with that idea, as each aisle got considerably more crowded about 5 minutes after we arrived! Dan loved having ahold of the scanner again, bringing back memories of when we registered for our wedding. Let's get one of those, and two of those, and oh, we need that, too. Whoa! Slow down; my head is spinning! We took a breath and tackled the easier stuff first. Bottles, diapers, lotions...everything we knew would be necessary to care for our two little munchkins. Then came the bigger items. A stroller for two, car seats, high chairs, oh my! We decided to hold off on the furniture for now, mainly because I couldn't think clearly anymore! We still have to pick out bedding and more gender specific things, but that will be much easier after our next milestone on Tuesday, when we find out their genders!
Then it was on to Target for Round 2 of registering. Now I consider myself to be a professional Target shopper, but there are aisles of this store I've never been down. Ever! Since we had already decided on some of the basics, this part was a little easier. We also decided that we could always look online at home from the comfort of our chairs, so it was time to call it a day.
Dan and I survived the day, unscathed for the most part, and totally exhausted! Stay tuned to see if the poll is correct and if there is blue, pink, or both in our future!!!
