Shop till you drop...

Well, pushing aside the minor inconvenience of not know the sex of the baby, we HAVE to get our act together and start our baby shopping now. I have been so busy lately with work (averaging about 60 hours per week) that I haven't started any baby shopping yet. However, just today, it shocked me that Wendy's 37 weeks going on to 38 weeks now! We really don't have much time left to shop.

So, we went to Babies'R'Us, Superstore and Walmart the other day and boy...it was really an information overload. There were rows and rows of baby products and we didn't know where to begin. I mean, just bottles alone, there must have been at least 10 brands and types out there. Wendy wants to breastfeed, so, do we need a 9 oz. or 4 oz.? What kinds of silicone nipple? Are there special types for switching the baby from breast to bottle then back to breast again? Which brands? Playtex and Avent seems to get pretty good reviews in that it will not leak so much air into the bottle. So on and so forth. At the end of the day, we were just confused and didn't commit to anything. We then came home, browsed through the Ineternet, did our research and created our own shopping list. Armed with this, we are just about to head out again to brave the baby superstores out there.

Will let all of you know the results of that soon...
