Baby Gears Galore!

I had the week off from work this week since my company now shuts down for the entire week of 4th of July. So, since I had some time off, I decided to attempt to start our baby registry. I had done some research on cribs, strollers and car seats - reading my "Baby Bargains" book and doing a little surfing on line. But nothing had prepared me for walking into a huge baby store all by myself. I was so overwhelmed by all the different baby products, brands, styles, etc! From bassinets to cribs to toddler beds; infant car seats to convertible car seats... car seats with the LATCH system, 3-point & 5-point harnesses, etc, etc, etc!!! Holy cow! Talk about overwhelming - I thought I was going to have a nervous breakdown! As if it isn't overwhelming enough having a baby for the first time, you also need to be knowledgable on products that are safe, reliable, useful (and don't forget stylish). I was so overwhelmed, I walked out of the store with nothing! I couldn't even decide on what our baby would wear for her first day home. :( What a nightmare.
So, after I told Mark about my experience, he is now helping with the search for the best baby gears. Of course, with Mark's love for cool gadgets, you can imagine the type of baby gear this baby will have! :)
As for an update on the baby, she's still doing gymnastics of some sort in my belly. I've gotten used to the movements now. She's actually moving again now as I'm typing. I'm beginning to think she knows when I'm talking about her! ha!
Starting now, she will probably begin to really pack on the pounds, so I'm bracing myself on how big I'll be getting in the coming months. Can't believe I only have 4 months to go (yikes)!

I am 22 1/2 weeks today and this is what my baby is doing: http://pregnancy.baby-gaga.com/calendar/week22
