registering
so guess how long we were at babies r us on sat? we arrived at 2:30pm for what was advertized as a safety expo to learn about safety features of baby stuff. when we got there, it was just a couple of tables and if we had questions, we could ask any of the workers. so that wasn't as useful as i thought it would be, but we thought it was a good opportunity to start registering. o. m. g. talk about one of the most overwhelming things i've ever had to do. this is infinitely worse than wedding stuff. there are so many options to just baby bottles and nipples. we stood by the breastfeeding items aisle and we asked one of the workers to explain some stuff to us. i think we were both really overwhelmed. i know i wanted to cry. but even henry was feeling like, can't she just stay with us and explain every aisle? goodness, i think that was the first time i ever felt that overwhelmed where i just didn't know what to do and where to start and how to choose. it's one thing to have a preference, but i feel like with baby stuff, you definitely want what's best and it's so hard to decipher what that is. so... after the breastfeeding aisle, the bottles and nipples aisle, the bath stuff aisle, we just looked at car seats and the strollers cuz that's a whole other day's research that i wasn't ready for... and then we found a crib that we liked along with a dresser, and custom ordered a glider with an ottoman... skipped all the decorative stuff cuz we don't even know if it's a girl or a boy yet... so guess what time it was when we left? it was dark already. and when we returned the gun to the lady, my goodness, it was 6pm. they gave us a nice little goodie bag that had suggested items that we'll need. i discovered that we had registered for like less than half of that list! hay buhay! we'll definitely have to have round 2 on another day.

"To try is to risk failure. But risk must be taken because the
greatest hazard of life is to risk nothing. The person who risks
nothing does nothing, has nothing, is nothing. He may avoid
suffering and sorrow, but he simply cannot learn, feel, change,
grow, live, and love."
