Babies R Us
I had a quickie visit to Indy on Monday just to check out my children and of course to do a baby check on Pinenut. Bri and I had the Babies R Us visit. I have never been in that store in my life. I could not believe this joint. Do you know that this place is color coded as to what your needs are? And they have everything from the very most basic necessities to extravagargounchua needs of that new little one.
All I remember worrying about was, how was I gonna wash two dozen diapers every other day and what kind of detergent was not going to give my baby a rash. I just may be behind the times, but there are electronic breast pumps, there are baby monitors,video and audio. There are strollers for jogging, walking and hiking. I had a fold up stroller that I duct taped an umbrella on to. I was in total shock and amazement. How did my babies survive the archaic days of the late 70's and early 80's?. We had car seats, but none of us knew how to install them correctly in a car. So in all actuality they were probably more dangerous than safe.Car seats are like astonaut chairs now, and the kid has to stay in them till they are over 4'9", which means I would be in a car seat till I was 16 years old. They not only have swings that go sideways, but back and forth too. There are vibrating seats for the colicky kid. How cool is that? The basic things like bottles and nipples are just too many varieties to make an intelligent choice. EEEEE! I'm not smart enough to have a baby today,There's a reason why God made it so that old ladies couldn't get pregnant.I never thought I would say this but good thing I'm going through menopause.Then talk about disposable diapers. There is this thing that you dispose the diapers in. Rob just put the dirty diapers in our bathtub, so I could wash them when I got home. With Brianne we only used disposables for VERY special occasions, like trips. By the time Robby arrived the cloth diapers were being used as dust rags and he got them all the time, praise Playtex.
I gotta admit , it was actually very interesting, like going to a museum or some kind of fair that you see all the new inventions that are out.
I'm almost afraid of what is to come in the next couple of years. I can't even get straight how to turn on my DVD player. Just give me a good old Rocking Chair and the kid, I think I can handle that the best.
