Baby Day

Today, which Jon and I nicknamed "Baby Day 2007", was a very productive and fun day. You see, I work about every other Saturday and on top of that, lately Saturdays have been filled with family things, showers, random events and even just catching up with "house" stuff. So being that I had today off, we scheduled the day "Baby Day 2007" so we could spend the day doing some much needed "baby things". So today we made our rounds to many a baby store and even the swap meet and all in all, it was a very successful day. Jon was such a trooper; I mean, what guy really wants to go to baby stores. But he had a lot of good input and opinions as we looked at things, and we had a lot of fun.
The day was so successful because we found a dresser for the baby's room and registered at BabiesRUs. And in the midst of many discussions, even found a name for our baby boy that we are both loving. (Sorry if that's vague: We are still deciding on it and deciding if we are "telling" or not). We think we found a crib too, but haven't purchased it yet. We thought we'd go back some night this week cuz we were pretty pooped by the end of the day. Over all, I think I have our bedding nailed down (which has been my project for the last few weeks) and things are coming together quite nicely. Next on the list? Paint colors...
Ok, so here is where all you mothers come in. I am posting an open call for all you mama's who are experienced in Baby Gear and registering: I am openly asking for any input, advice, and maybe just encouragement on our registry. If you have time, go to BabiesRUs and check out our registry to see how we did and let me know. We kind of laughed out loud many a time on how MUCH stuff a tiny person "needs" and really didn't know if we were doing it "right". I've sought some advice of mothers before on the subject, but who knew I should have asked about what type of nail clippers to get! So all that to say, I'd love any feedback or advice from those of you who have done this before. (I'm looking for things like, "no you don't need little mittens to put on their hands so they don't scratch their eyes; the mittens will fall right off anyways," and "Register for more sheets--they pee right through them". Stuff like that. Feel free to email, call, or just plain comment and I'd love your feedback.
And for those who aren't moms yet and want to look at my registry, I'd love your comments too. Just because I love you.
