Okay, so I've been getting several requests to post our baby registry information so here goes - we're currently registered at Babies 'R Us (www.babiesrus.com), Giggle (www.giggle) and Grow (www.grow-kids.com)
That leads me to a funny story...last weekend, I made Dan go shopping with me in pursuit of the perfect baby stroller. Anyone who knows me knows that I like to plan things (understatement of the year) and tend to be a bit of a control freak. So naturally I have been researching strollers for the past six months and had all these ideas in my head of what we should buy. Dan, on the other hand, tends to be a bit more impulsive.
So we headed over to Right Start to begin the hunt. As soon as we walk in the door, Dan immediately heads over to this stroller called, "The Bob" and proclaims that this is 'the one.' I'm instantly on the defensive - how can we possibly make a decision about this so quickly? Don't we need to test drive all of them first? This is a big investment! Needless to say, after speaking with a few other Bob devotees in the store and talking to the sales associate, we have decided that The Bob will be coming home with us someday soon.
So the moral of this story? I'm starting to realize more and more that parenthood is going to be a journey of relinquishing control and going with my gut. And sometimes I'll make the right decisions and sometimes I won't but at the end of the day it's really the best any of us can do. Oh, and that my husband has an amazing knack for putting things in perspective. Thanks, hon.
