On Tuesday, Shaun and I went to the behemoth that is Babies ‘R Us. This place freaks me out, so many things, so many choices, and then so much of cookie cutter-bleck-no thanks!

When I was filling out the sheet, I wrote “The Very Hungry Caterpillar by Eric Carle” under the decor section. The lady looked at it and said, “We don’t have that here.” Me, “I know, I’m doing it myself but I wanted people to know.” Her, “Well, you won’t find any caterpillar decorations or anything.” I wanted to say “THANK GAWD!” but didn’t =D

She gave us our (scanning) gun and off we went. Apparently I really like polka dots. Anything with dots got shot by that gun! Seriously though, just because she’s a baby doesn’t mean she needs pastels. Bright colors were SO hard to find. Pastels aren’t my favorite and it seemed that everything remotely girlish was pastel . This chica will have lots of blues, oranges, and brown (these colors are all very dominant in our house). And of course-PINK, just not powder pink. Bright pink! Fuscia pink! Techno-color pink!

You can view the whole shebang here or click the links for pictures of some of the stuff we picked out:

–Swing
–Cutest Towel Ever
–Second Cutest Towel Ever
–High Chair
–Stroller
–Car Seat
–Pack ‘N Play
–Shaun’s Favorite Item

And lots of other baby schmoo. Shaun kept saying “Do we really need all this stuff?” Oh honey, just wait…
