Baby Registry Begins

On the eve of our 9th wedding anniversary in November, we began our baby registry!

This is a great picture! Do you realize what is on Eric's head?! I'm pretty sure that is NOT a hat, but it made for some good laughs at the time. :)

Eric had fun using the scanning gun! He did let me scan one or two items, but I had fun watching him have fun. We thought we could just go in Babies R' Us and scan quickly. Ha! What a joke! We had NO idea what we were doing. We scanned all kinds of things we probably don't need and didn't scan things we probably will need. In fact, we didn't even finish our registry. We'll have to go back later to clean up and finish up. When we left the store, we immediately contacted a good friend with a desperate plea for "HELP!" She will accompany us when we go to finish our registry. I must say, it is different scanning items for a baby registry when your tummy has no baby bump and you have no clue when you will even be meeting your baby! That was an overwhelming trip in many ways. Eric and I used to dread going in to baby stores or baby sections of stores. It hurt (especially when shopping for baby shower gifts). This time we were going there to register for our baby! Although we don't know the "due date" for our little one, it was really exciting to finally be picking out baby items . . . even if we didn't register for the right ones. :)
