Registry

Dear Munchkin,
There is so much going on in Munchkin-land right now! I feel like have about four letters to write to you. But this one is going to be devoted entirely to your registry. A funny thing happens when you get married or have baby, you end up getting lots of presents! And I have the added bonus of letting people know what you will need or enjoy playing with. Since your Daddy and I are branding spanking new at all of this, I enlisted the help of my good friend Emily. She and I tackled the task of making sure we had a list of all the necessities (and a lot of the not-so-necessities) you will need during your first years of life. I can not tell you how grateful I was for her help. She basically guided me up and down the aisles pointing out all the "stuff" that goes along with having a baby. Whew. It was tiring! But, I assure you that I am more informed now and was happy to soak up all of her knowledge of baby items that work for her in the T household. There were so many choices and everything came with bells and whistles. I am not sure what I would have done without Emily whispering to me, "It's OK. Babies don't need everything. I know it's overwhelming." I still ended up with a list of over 75 items to choose from. Some of the highlights include a high chair, pack-n-play, swing, bath items, breast pump, bottles, sheets, and clothes. For my complete list click here: Babies-R-Us . When you are old enough please remember say thank you to Mrs. Thompson for helping us out!
I love you,
Mom
