For such a little person, LJ sure needs a lot of stuff. We spent pretty much all day Saturday, buying/setting up/arranging different things for her, and we're probably only half way down the list of things we need to get before she comes. I'll just give the highlights of some of the things we've either been given of gotten ourselves in the last week:
|
| Car Seat and Stroller: We setup the car seat and stroller that we got at the shower. We still need to install the seat in the car but it actually doesn't look too complicated. We're pretty impressed with the ability to move from the car to the stroller and stay in the same carrier, hopefully she'll sleep that much more now. |
| Swing: We liked the original swing on our registry because of the motion it made, and because it was tall and hard for the dog to get into. But we decided that there was only a chance that LJ would actually sleep in whatever we bought so we went with a more traditional one. |
| Cloths: Well we didn't buy any more cloths, but we put what we have now into her dresser. |
| Huge Giraffe: We thought it would be fun to take pictures of LJ next to a huge stuffed animal while she was growing up, instead of measuring her on the wall. We went with the giant giraffe. Hopefully she won't be scared of it. We're not sure what Lucy will do when she finally notices it but we think it will be entertaining. |
| Camera: We liked our old camera, but on the belief that LJ would do something cute and we'd only have a fraction of a second to take a picture before she stopped we wanted one that was faster. The one we picked had a lot of the settings that a SLR would have, but the main thing is that it's pretty fast. |
