I am overwhelmed. My co-workers threw a surprise shower for me on Friday. ( I almost didn't go to work that day since we had a huge barometric pressure system and I had contractions most the night.) I kind-of suspected something was up since they kept telling me to register somewhere. For the record, I didn't expect a huge shower at work with tons of food and cake. I just thought they might be going in together on something. It was very nice of them. I don't really like the spotlight, and since I wasn't feeling well, I hope I didn't say anything stupid.:)
I tried to register, I did- but things have changed so much since I had M & C that I was totally confused by all the choices. For example, I can get a stroller for $80-$800. I can get a car seat with a stroller, that converts to a toddler seat- maybe even converts to a bed. Anyway, I just want something simple, not heavy (since I am a wimp), and easy to use. Is that so wrong? I went to Target yesterday to test the strollers and car seats. I couldn't open the latch on even one car seat without struggling with both hands- and that's without a crying baby in 95degree heat in the summer! If any of you have suggestions, I'd love to hear what worked and didn't for you.
