Merch time is finally here! We had to buy the pregnant Amidala. I mean, it's a pregnant action figure!

Last night we did our baby registry at Target. The girls at Mr. b's cafe are throwing him his own baby shower next month. That's so sweet! And he may very well be the only guy on the planet that would want his own shower. We went a little nuts on the RotS merch. First of all, why the hell aren't there any Yoda or C3PO onesies? There was nothing for babies. Luckily, there were a few little boy t-shirts to scan in. And we went ape in the toy section. I love those Playskool action figures for toddlers with the giant feet. And of course Child Person will need to have a copy of the Ewoks and Droids cartoons on DVD. (The TOS season box sets are important nursing equipment, too dammit. We'll need to watch something during midnight feedings!) We also found some good RotS coloring books and readers over by the "Crawlers" book section. I more accurately re-named that the "Chewers" section.

We did kind of freak out while doing the legitimate baby stuff. We were totally unprepared for the multitude of bottle brands, types, sizes. I imagine that babies make their own decisions about what they prefer there. I did have Auntie G take a look at our list and make sure we weren't missing anything obvious. We got her stamp of approval! Now we just have to wait until after the gift harvest to find out what we need to buy ourselves.

As long as you aren't considering Luke or Leia for baby names, I'd say you're still sane.

I love reading about your pregnancy, as I am undecided right now. All those baby items you saw are more intimidating to those w/o kids buying them for baby showers.

Congrats.
