Ok well apparently I didn’t pay attention to the memo.
I am 7-week pregnant. Last Thursday we went for our formal prenatal visit. We saw the baby and heard its heartbeats. My baby is the size of a lima bean. How cute.
Well, what’s not so cute is the price of baby gadgets and (even) the basics that a baby would need.
Today, my husband dropped me off at Baby Depot (Burlington Coat Factory) while he went shopping to Home Depot. I saw tons of baby stuff and got overwhelmed. A tiny human can’t possibly need all of those junks. Glad I am still in my early pregnancy stage so I will have time to think about what I am going to need to get.
While browsing around the shop, I found some sales on baby bottles. I have heard about Dr.Brown’s baby bottles and I saw several that were on sale for half price. I bought 2 sets of Dr.Brown’s baby bottles. One was Dr.Brown’s Natural Flor newborn feeding set ($9.99 for 3 8-ounce bottles and 2 4-ounce bottles) and the second I bought was Dr.Brown’s Natural Flow Deluxe Wide-neck starter kit ($7.49 1 8-ounce wide-neck bottle and 2 4-ounce wide neck bottles).
I also saw Dr.Brown’s baby gift set for less than $45 and I believe this set comes with a total of 10 or 12 bottles (in 2 or 3 sizes I think).
I read a lot of great reviews on Dr.Brown’s bottles. I figured, baby bottles would be one of several important things I need to have for the baby.
I am actually thinking of getting another of the $10 set I got for a friend of mine who is due to have a baby this August.
When it comes to registry time, I think I am just going to put bunch of visa gift card on my registry. I’ll just buy things when they are on sale. No need to ask people to buy baby clothes when the baby can only wear it once or twice. I’ll put bunch of diapers of all sizes on the registry.
