Monday's Room

So my Mommy Mentor (Beth Baptist Boggess) took me by the hand this weekend and brought me to Babies R Us to begin our baby registry. She walked me through aisles with the little gun and gave me advice like which bottles to buy, which breast pump I should register for, how they thought about purchasing a stroller etc. This was one of our better conversations...

• B: "Now you'll have to decide which bottles to use."
• L: "How do I decide that?"
• B: "Some people research it a lot."
• L: "What did you do?"
• B: "I had a friend that brought me here and said 'this is the type I use.' So I said, 'great, this is the type I use.'"
• I leaned in to gun the Avent bottles.
• L: "Great, so this is the type I use, too!"

After freaking out that I am so not organized, Beth calmed me off my ledge and told me that I am not and I really shouldn't worry about it. After thinking about it, the great news is that I am planning for a long period of time and the stores will always be there. If I forget something, I can go get it. If Monday doesn't take to one brand of bottles as opposed to another - I can go take another out for a test drive. All that said, I need to get on it....

So Beth gave me homework tonight... research bedding alternatives online. Before Tim got home, I went to a number of sites and did some research. When he got home, we had a conversation about what we were trying to solve for: Gender neutral, Bright and fun... and we've now successfully registered for our bedroom set that we love!!!


We won't fully deck out the room in quite such an overpowering manor, but we love the sleepy moon, the colors to match the rug and the walls, and just generally feel great about our choice.... and I have always had a thing for blue and yellow!

Thanks for the homework, Beth!!!
