FOUR HOURS!!!
That's how long Debbie and I were in Babies R' Us on Sunday. Four frickin hours registering stuff for our newest family member. The worst part is ... we're not even done yet. We have to go back (but we did find a little coupon that let's you into the store before open on Sunday).
Now, I will say I spent much of that time taking stuff apart, putting it back together, operating it, making sure I could do it one-handed. You know, crap that will actually happen once this baby gets here.
One thing Debbie and I have come to learn is that we tend to like stuff that is either discontinued or will be soon. It's out lot in life. Here's the funny thing about registering at Babies R' Us ... you can't register for discontinued items (they have a special red tag to let you know). Do you know how many times Debbie and I went "Oooo ... I like that!" only to see the red tag glaring at us and laughing? I hate that red tag.

I think it's a con. I think it's planned obsolescence in the baby world. i think they do that kind of thing with wedding registries and baby registries, just so people have to buy more stuff. Buck the system! Strap the baby naked to your back and just beeeee freeeeee!!!!
