Okay, so...today I did something that I may regret. I indulged in a little baby dreaming. Not dreaming about having a baby, because I do that a lot, but about owning all the cutesy baby stuff. I don't know why... I usually try to avoid that stuff because it just brings me down. I have already read (an old edition of) Baby Bargains in an effort to do a little pre-research, but I underestimated the sheer amount of stuff I'd have to weed through to pick the good (and necessary) stuff. I have the "someday" diaper bag picked out, as previously posted, as well as the colors that we'd like to use for our "someday" nursery. (Side note: I decided quite a long time ago that I did not want to know the gender if we ever get pregnant, although the hubs is a much harder sell on that one).
Carseats are what really throw me. They make so many cute ones--but what if the ones I like aren't safe? Where can you get reliable reviews? Sheesh. Now I feel like I should be spending my non-pregnant time doing research on baby products, because surely 9 months wouldn't be enough time! In reality, isn't it more like 5-6 months? After that, I'd imagine that you have the staples picked on your registry so that when people start giving you showers, you've picked what you want.
Ugh. Now I'm needlessly worried. I knew looking at baby stuff was a stupid idea!!
