Lots of “window shopping” this weekend.
First, we decided to begin pricing cribs and such. We visited a few specialty stores as well as the Toys-R-Us (since we don’t have a Babies-R-Us in Lubbock). There was a significant price difference between the specialties and Toys-R-Us. Since we’ll be buying two, the specialty stores are definitely out of the question. We’re going to go to a Babies-R-Us in Dallas in the next couple of weeks; bigger selection and options than our local Toys-R-Us.
Next, we started looking at everything else – formula, diapers, monitors, car seats, strollers, etc. These things aren’t cheap! We’re starting to figure out what we’re really going to need two of and what we won’t.
While we were at Target, I made the comment to Monica that this feels like we’re getting married all over again.. going through stores, starting to pick out certain brands and models for registries, and so on.
This is going to be fun.
PS – We have another doctor appointment Monday morning, so we’ll be sure to post an update afterwards.

you guys need to check out jcpenneys. watch for sales, they have them quite often. we saved over $300, it was on sale and no shipping charge. i also talked to the toy r us here in lubbock and they are changing over to a babies r us and supposed to be complete by the summer. they havent been getting in new baby stuff until the switch is complete, so their selection really stinks right now. good luck and watch for sales!
