The expectant father thread

I think I knocked out all of those things in about 20 min bursts, so...

I didn't even know BBB had a baby registry

I didn't even know what a registry was until about 5 weeks ago... I still don't really get it. She just keeps telling me "free stuff"

Look, guys-your woman is far smarter and more capable than you. Just do what she says and stock up on liquor.


Seriously-stock up on liquor,

Thanks for the advices. We went to Babies R Us the day we found out the news and bought a gliding/rocking chair.  That's one necessity down.

We have a BBB a block away.  I'll have to tell the wife about the registry there. We just received $200 in gift cards for Dillards too. That might get is through the first day?!

Liquor, eh?  I just bought a few bottles for the family visit over the weekend.  Luckily, the liquor store is across the street from BBB.

Dood.  Did you check out Lazy Boy recliners before drinking the gliding rocker koolade?  The recliner is way more comfortable, about the same money if memory serves me correctly and you can use it in your man cave down the road.

In all seriousness, there are going to be times where you or Wifey will want to doze while feeding junior.  Is that possible with a wood armed glider that doesn't recline?

Do yourself and momma a favor and check one out.

This one DOES recline AND it was on clearance for $150.  I believe regular was over $300.     Thanks for the heads up though.

 I'll need to see a pic before I can give it my blessing......might be on clearance for a reason.

They usually have ottoman's too which glide. I could sleep in one.

Remember who you're talking to?!  Pic!!!

Its set up and works fine! 

[lazylightnin717]

I've looked at a few of the gliders. They are pretty sweet but I can't justify the $ for one right now. Funny how I can spend 250 on a chain and sprockets but not a glider.....

Id better not see a "make the beast with two backs, this glider sucks" thread!

[IZ]

Haha...you probably will no matter what since I'm pessimistic!  :p

Daaang, whipped.

Congrats IZ. You should also get a saddle for the dog.

We spent 1200 on this one: http://montedesign.net/grano.html

Figured if we're gonna buy something, it'd be nice to be usable after baby grows up.

So, I'm in Gap Maternity listening to crying kids and holding a new griddle in hand and a magic bullet in the other. Why did I agree to come shopping after I watched the Big 10 games?! More baby stores and worst of all...Target!  Dreading that since I just saw the parking lot. Why didn't I ask Santa for a flask for Christmas?

[lazylightnin717]

It's even worse that she has to stop and go "awwwwwww" to every single child that passes through her periphery and nudge me and ask me how absolutely adorable that child is.... they all kind of look the same to me.

Oh and a good heads up: DO NOT watch birth videos on youtube. Ever!
