They hand you a price scanner, and go over how to use it. They tell you how to delete items, but that it’s easier to delete from the internet later. They tell you to add things in a wide variety of prices, and that no list is ever too long.
That wouldn’t be because they’re trying to sell more stuff, would it? Of course not, they’re being helpful.
So, we took the scanner, and started at “Safety Items” (beep, beep), worked our way through bottles (beep), towels (beep), rags (beep), and then over to next section. Diapers (beep beep beep). We added some toys, some basic clothing, a couple of furnishings (beep… you get the idea. I’m going to knock this off.)
Our original plan had been to buy these things ourselves, and if someone was kind enough to want to get us a gift, we would direct them to the registry for our Doula. But I haven’t figured out how to use her registry to take donations, and just Holy Smokes, we need how much stuff?!?
More than I had really expected. More than I can really believe. (Beep)
The last item on the registry needs to be: extra 600 square feet in the baby’s bedroom.
