2006 The Year of Baby Stuff
It seems 2006 is upon us already. It should be an interesting one for our family considering the new baby coming in May (according to the doctor at least). Lisa and I have been reading various books about what to buy for the baby. One book is a stand out: Baby Bargains: Secrets to Saving 20% to 50% on Baby Furniture, Equipment, Clothes, Toys, Maternity Wear, and Much, Much More! It has been very informative, and given us a lot of good hints. Lisa had been enamored with a crib in the JC Penny catalog. I was concerned about spending $400 based on a description and a couple of pictures in a catalog. I convinced her that we should look around town again. I’m happy to report that we found a very nice crib in town. We chose not to purchase it right away — we are trying to pace our spending for the baby.
Aside from the crib, we still need to get a car seat, stroller, bedding for the crib, and a bazillion other things. Who knew that someone so small could need so much stuff?
