The Shopping Begins

So children are expensive and that is even before they are born. We've been shopping and looking at prams, cots, baby monitors, car seats, plasma tvs, etc. Ok, so maybe the baby doesn't need a plasma TV but I'm sure it would like one. It would make dad really happy!

Jenny's folks have been fantastic and have bought us a pram, I was shocked at how expensive a simple pram is. Well, they're not so simple, you need to be a Japanese Oragami expert to figure out how to fold it, and make sure you don't have any vital appendages too close otherwise those too will become and integral part of the now folded pram.

I'm not sure who is more excited about the baby, Jenny or Jenny's sister Kate. Every couple of days we get a call from Kate telling us which new clothes/toys/accessory she's bought. Last night she phoned us and said that she and Mike (Jenny's brother) want to buy the cot for us. We're not complaining! Hmm, I take that back. Maybe babies aren't that expensive!

This weekend we'll be starting on the nursery. It is going to have a Winnie the Pooh theme. Nothing to do with Jenny's obsession with Eeyore of course! We decided we needed the other characters and not just Eeyore otherwise the child would definitely grow up to be a manic-depressant. The last thing I want is a baby Goth. Although, that would make buying clothes easier, none of this having to choose colors, we can just go with a nice pastel black.
