Time is ticking…
As I write this, we are but a few weeks away from the due date (August 6th). Yikes
We are almost ready to enter that quintessiential American tradition of the Birth process: Buying loads of crap
Marni and I have been really fortunate: we have tons of great friends who have been giving us LOADS of stuff. We already have:
- A Crib (Thank you Karon and Rob)
- Bottles (Thank you Eliza and Charlie)
- Clothes/clothes and more clothes
- And lots more.
Stil, there's stuff that we need to get and we have so many kind folks who want to buy us stuff (Thank You!). So that you buy us what we need, we've set up a few registries. They are as follows:
Target Baby Center
Most of our Baby stuff is here. Target is in Boulder, and their stuff is reasonable and, often, really cool.
Babies R Us
Babies R Us is one of the scariest places on the planet. These huge cathedrals of American commerce have everything you can imagine ever buying (and lots of stuff you wouldn't) for your little tyke. They are scary and maybe a form of purgatory on Earrth. Still, they have some stuff we can't find anywhere else.
REI (Recreational Equipment Inc)
Being outdoor freaks, we're going to be dragging the baby outdoors at our earliest opportunity. We'll need a new tent, a baby backpack, a Yakima rack, and lots of other outdoorsy stuff.
Moola
You could also just send $$$. Besides wanting to buy stuff on CraigsList and garage sales, we are also starting a college fund for our baby (you don't even want to think how much college is going to cost in 2023!). We have a great Financial Advisor who will make sure that our money will grow as our little baby does.

Great blog. Having kids is scarey and expensive. Doing your baby registry online can take some of the stress out of something in this time.
