Stuff

When we first found out we were pregnant I got the the most amazing advice from my best pregnant friend, Kaylee. She is 4 months ahead of us and was in the process of building her registry. I was looking at her registry and both of us being new to this parenthood game were very surprised on how much stuff babies need. We are not talking little stuff but large expensive stuff that for safety reasons (as everything can now kill your baby) you can no longer get used as our parents use too. She recommended to me that we start buying one big thing each month so when it game down to the wire, aka the 8th month, we wouldn't be having to buy it all at once. This advice has been a life saver! We have all our furniture, breast pump, carriers, and car seat. We are at the 4th month and while we still have a lot of stuff to get, we still have a ways to go as well. Brad has been teasing me that the baby could come tomorrow and we would be set. Lucky for us that we have 5 more months to go as it takes more to raise a child than just stuff.
