I'm in Love!

I am completely infatuated with a stroller and matching pack 'n' play that I found! The stroller is awesome. It's a "traveler" which means that first you put the baby in a car seat and wheel them around that way and then as the baby grows it becomes a more typical stroller. This way, you don't need to buy more than one! It's also a super-cute pattern that would work for both boys and girls.

And then in the same pattern, I found a 4 in 1 pack 'n' play which is a bassinet, mini changing table, vibrating rocker and play pen combination. So cool!

I was originally going to wait until I found out the sex before I started registering, but I am feeling the registry itch already! Looking at baby things is so addictive. I thought it would just be that way for the clothes, but it turns out everything baby is exciting!

I'm really happy to be in this mood too because after I posted yesterday, everything sort of came to head and went boiling over and out my eyeballs. Previously, I have been lucky and really haven't been too emotional, which I know is pretty surprising. Well, I must have been saving it all up or something because my poor husband woke up to me sitting on the floor of our closet crying my heart out. I couldn't even articulate words for about ten minutes when finally I exclaimed/screeched, "I have no idea what I'm doing!!!"

Kevin then smartly pointed out that no one knows what they're doing at first. We all just needed to figure it out as we go. I know this is true - it's just a difficult pill to swallow for someone like me who likes to figure everything out in advance, thus the emotional breakdown. 

I feel much, much better now, but it felt darn good to have a nice, solid cry about it. 

I am so pregnant, it's not even funny!

  3. Whenever I talk about having kids someday and feeling like I won't know what I'm doing either, Steve always says to me "Lindsey, people have been having children for millions of years. It will be fine." And then I think "oh yeah!" and just think about all that we know now that people haven't known for millions of years when it comes to having children? This is the best time--between what we know about nutrition, psychology, education, medicine, neuroscience, etc.--to have children in all of history. And all of that gets better and better at such a rapid rate these days that it's astounding. What it comes down to is we have more resources to create happy and healthy lives for children than ever before. Everything will be fine. :)
