Nursery, etc.

Rob and I decided to take the plunge this weekend-we entered the world of Babies R Us. Yikes is all I can say. Who would of thought that there was so much stuff for a baby? We decided that we could start registering for diapers, pacifiers, etc. As we were walking down the aisles-we each became more and more confused. It was very overwhelming-and how do you know what it is you need?!?! Do they write it down somewhere for you? I know that we don't need a baby butt wipe warmer-and an electric bedside bottle warmer. I left Rob for 2 seconds and he proceeded to register for 3 KU pacifier clips--I told him that was a little overboard. He kind of likes this registering thing. Of course B R Us tells you for a happy and healthy baby you need ALL of it. Umm...no. We spent about 45 mins. just in the stroller/car seat department alone. Ahh...good times ahead for us Swindles!

We did pick out our bedding which is super cute. Of course it's not baby-like at all-more modern. It works for either a Boy Bean or a Girl Bean.

Now that we have the bedding picked out-that means Rob can start working on getting the office upstairs and the nursery started...

We went last week to look at Calvary Lutheran Church school-and we fell in love with it. The classes are great-I was just impressed that they were finger painting with a 6 month old-they weren't just letting them sit there with a toy and drool everywhere. We put our name on the waiting list-and they said that we should call towards the end of the year to see where we were on the wait list to start in May 2009. Really?!?! You would of thought we were trying to get Bean into some big prestigious school or something. Yikes! So Rob and I also received a list of in-home day cares in our area-did some drive-by's of the houses-some were on the ok-let's call list--and some were not.

That's about it for the Swindle's. Rob is getting Bean geared up for KU football season-Bean listened to the fight song quite a few times yesterday-and I'm sure that he/she was Waving the Wheat! Have a great week!

Call me if you want any registering advice...with three babies, I have a pretty clear idea of what you may and may not need.
Love you!
