Kitting out baby

I’ve not been too busy to blog, and I blame Twitter.

Even then, I’ve not been twit­ter­ing prop­erly either. But with that out of the way, we have been busy get­ting the house ready for our still name­less baby, who arrives in 7 weeks.

We’ve been shop­ping around but not nec­es­sar­ily buy­ing, and putting things on gift reg­istries so our friends can buy stuff for us that we’ll use.

It’s bewil­der­ing (and tir­ing) for first time par­ents — the slew of baby mon­i­tors, ther­mome­ters, car­ri­ers, slings, sacks, sleep­ing bags, full body suits and other gear you wouldn’t expect a new­born baby to need. But they do.

We even saw what I think is a baby astro­naut trainer. I could be wrong though — I think I saw but­tons for spin dry and gen­tle washes:
