Babies are supposedly pretty small. I’m no expert, but from what I’ve seen, they start out about football-sized and grow from there. However, people whose opinions I respect keep warning us about how much space they take up. “You’ll need plenty of room for all of the baby’s stuff,” they say. <\/p>\n

What stuff? I’m imagining standing in the delivery room, and the doctor catches a healthy pink baby wearing a plaid suit and pulling a suitcase along behind.<\/p>\n

This reminds me of a Friends<\/i> episode. Rachel’s been roomming with Joey, but she’s about to have a baby. She’s planning to move out because, “There’s no room here for a baby.” Joey looks astonished — “No room??” he says, gesturing to a chair: “We could put it here!” This is pretty much how I fealt until recently, but reality is starting to kick in.<\/p>\n

Kidding aside, this baby is going to have a lot of stuff, including a crib, changing table, glider rocker(s), travel system<\/i> (a stroller and car seat + base), play pen, high chair, bath… thingy, and a couple dozen of the softest stuffed animals you’ve ever seen.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We bought from a private seller who took really good care of it, so it feels a lot like a new car. And it has a big trunk for the “travel system,” etc \ud83d\ude42 We’re really happy with it so far!<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
