Babies R Us

A Birthday Wish

I ran out of wipes, once, when we were on vacation.  Even though I had packed one of those huge packs from Costco, and even though I had a backup in the diaper bag, we ran out.  I remember the panic that came with knowing that I had no more.  It wasn't even that big of a problem, really.  It meant an extra trip to town to go buy more, but that wasn't a huge deal.  I missed an hour of time with my baby, and Tom had to deal with some witching hour antics by himself, but it was fine.  I ran out, bought some more, and our crisis was over.  I remember I barely even paused in the aisle with the wipes.  I grabbed whatever was closest, and was on my way.

I Suck at Registries

Maybe it's because I'm pregnant and don't have a ton of energy.  Or maybe I'm just not a registry person.  After all, we never really did a wedding registry.  We had a super small one that we did online.  We never went to a store to pick things out.  Either way, setting up a baby registry was a nightmare for me!

I'd been putting it off for a while.  For some reason it didn't sound fun.  Even though I love shopping and I love babies, something about the registry made me want to avoid it at all costs.  It was Tom who finally convinced me to go.  Convinced, begged.. same difference.
