Shopping

On Sunday we decided it was time to begin our baby shopping research. Being Jewish and superstitious, we don't plan to buy anything before the baby comes (except for the necessities) but we do want to be prepared so that we don't have to make those decisions when we're sleep deprived new parents.

Our journey took us to Buy Buy Baby, (the Bed, Bath and Beyond owned baby megastore) where we decided to focus on strollers and baby furniture. At the stroller section, we played around with the Bugaboos before someone was available to help us. I must've asked some good questions because by the end of our little tour, we had another couple (due one month before us) listening on! We then stuck around to hear their questions and then moved on to the furniture department.

In the furniture department, a knowledgeable woman came to help us almost immediately. We had already decided that we wanted furniture that converts from baby to kid to teen so that was one decision down. She walked us around and showed us a variety of brands and collections. There was even a collection with my name! We left liking the first two brands we saw best - Natart and Old Mother Hubbard. Now we have to decide what pieces we'd like and find a collection that offers all of those pieces. 

There's a lot of decisions to make and we haven't even gotten to bedding, clothing, etc. I'm overwhelmed...
