Where We Stand So Far
[Originally published to the old baby blog.]
For those keeping track at home, here is an updated loot report list of things we have so far for Sadie. With a couple pictures!
I’m told we have a crib that my father and stepmother originally bought for my sister’s family.
We have a good high chair (or is it spelled highchair?) from my brother and his wife. Just needs a bit of cleaning and is currently in pieces in the disastrously messy storage room baby’s room.
We have an infant stroller with infant car seat transportation system. It’s a good one, given us by one of the lawyers I work for, pictured here:
After drooling over it for a few visits to BJ’s, we bought the 3 in 1 bedside bassinet changing table unit in the box pictured below. Luckily the picture gives a good idea what it is exactly:
We’re getting a big toybox made by my grandmother’s late brother, which for now will answer the “where are we going to store all these blankets” question.
Finally, some days ago we received a box of adorable baby clothes, things like receiving blankets, and even a cute rubber duckie (you’re the one) from the Jedi Parents. No pictures, at least not yet, but as we unwrapped and looked at each item, it made the baby so much more real and got us all emotional.
There you have it so far. I am thinking it might be useful to create a more compact, less editorialized list down the road, that we can update as needed, as an informational tool for family and friends who are eager to supply baby stuff. This will do for now. We may be getting more soon, from another lawyer I work for who has a whole laundry list of items she can pass on to us that will otherwise go to someone else or charity. We just have to make a point of stopping by her house to see what we want.
