Having a baby

I didn't realize that there are so many things to think about when having a baby..

For instance what to bring to the hospital.. To sign up for classes or not. and if so which ones. What the baby's room should be like. What to buy for the baby? now there are so many different options for just a stroller mind you that you don't want me to get started on what kind of car seat to get. but it's true and some of the stuff is more for parents and what they like and style. for instance i like this brand of stroller by bugaboo. but then when i really thought about it i decided against it. was i getting it because i really liked it or because i have seen it pop up in my instyle magazine and other celebraties using it. the other decision factor is that it's way expensive. so that wasn't worth it to me.

But it is fun going to babies r us with the hubby and deciding what we like and don't like. it's just hard because we want to make the right decision and don't want to buy the wrong item. or one that can harm the little guy. thank god we have some friends whom already had a baby and can ask questions to.

but i am not going to let all this take away from enjoying being pregnant or the fact that we are going to get to meet this mini guy in may!

uh nevermind on my last post. may it is. haha! i had one of those morning shows on the other day (i.e. good morning america) and they were talking about purchasing things for your baby. you should be able to answer the following questions:
* will it keep my baby safe?
* will it keep my baby comfortable?
beyond that, you'll probably be trying to justify the purchase because it may just be for you and not your new baby. you'll be spending your money on plenty of things already for the baby. if you really want to, get something for yourself to make up for it, just don't go overboard. oh and see if you know anyone who's just finished with having a baby and don't need their baby things anymore. or do a clothing swap with friends who are going through the same thing. good luck deciding on the baby seat.
