Somehow she survived the trauma of "cold" wipes and those flimsy umbrella strollers. But she is right that with all the choices now it can really get you almost paranoid about checking the latest safety features and second-guessing yourself. <BR/><BR/>But she turned out beautifully and in the end sound common sense will rule the day.

How cool...Elise, I had no idea you had a baby blog! How cool. First of all, let me officially (very late) congratulate you on your pregnancy. I have a bad habit of not spending enough time on Facebook beyond posting Jack's photos, so I only found out you were pregnant shamefully recently. CONGRATULATIONS! And here you are, more than halfway through. <BR/><BR/>Second, oh, God, I wanted someone to shoot me while making my Babies R Us registry. Going in there is so stressful. The good news is, the next time around, you can just bypass all that b/c you can either reuse your stuff, or you'll know what you truly need. Anyway, I second Liz wholeheartedly on the Graco SnugRide seat. It worked so well for us, and it was a cinch to snap into the MetroLite stroller (or the wire frame/basket, if you opt for that). G'luck with all the prep!Beverlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07776863963918801972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193004597754117023.post-13376646041759442592009-01-06T22:25:00.000-06:002009-01-06T22:25:00.000-06:00You are a true nerd...and so am I, as I am finding...You are a true nerd...and so am I, as I am finding out more and more in this program! :-) But you're a beautiful, wonderful nerd, and we love you! Now we just have more of you to love...and in a few months, more Kerns to love!<BR/><BR/>I've heard that those Euro Baby baby carriers/slings are great.

Wedd...I felt the same way about the baby registry! Wedding stuff was easy. That was stuff I already know. But baby stuff?! How was I supposed to know if I needed a wipe warmer or two different kinds of bathtubs? (The answer is neither, of course.) Or what features I should look for in a stroller or a bouncy seat or what have you.<BR/><BR/>My only strong recommendation is the Graco SnugRide (not SafeSeat) infant carseat. Great on all safety tests, seem quite comfy for the kiddos, and not as heavy as a lot of other brands (which becomes a major issue, and makes people start cursing the Peg Perego and the other heavy seats when the kids start packing on the pounds).Liz Jimenezhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02113299527583609272noreply@blogger.com
