Baby Stuff

Another 4:30 am wakeup, so here goes...

So far Ryan and I have told immediate family, military folks that need to know to help us with things, and a few close friends about the pregnancy. The notice that goes out to everyone else will be waiting until the beginning of May when I start my 2nd trimester.

Anyway, a few of the people we've told have asked us about nursery
plans. Let it be known from the get go:

- We don't plan on doing anything with the baby's room until I'm about 6 months (August-ish)
- We WILL be finding out the baby's sex
- We haven't started designing the room or picked a colour scheme.
- We WILL be setting up a registry or two so you'll be able to know exactly what we want.

I'm excited to be able to do all of the nursery designing stuff (picking cribs, dressers etc) but anything can happen, so we're going to play it safe and wait.

I already have ideas and I'm already leaning towards a modern baby's room, so I'm liking dark wood, but as I said, registry to come. We may put larger furniture items on the registry, and perhaps if you'd want to collaborate on one of those, that's cool :)

I'll be doing a lot of reviews before buying anything to make sure what we buy is safe for the baby.

There's a lot more to think about now besides just cost. Wow...
