Stuff We Need For Baby

Baby registries bother me. They lock you in to a specific brand and color, and while I love Amazon, I know a lot of people don't like to shop online or want to get something else blah blah blah, so here we go. I'm going to put a list of everything we still need for the baby. I know it's a lot of stuff, but I'm just wrapping up the 2nd trimester and didn't want to deal with a lot of baby clutter earlier than was necessary. Also, as far as colors/themes go, despite the fact that we're having a girl we want lots of different colors for her, and if you need a theme, keep the idea of an explorer in your head. I'll update this as we either come up with things we need to have enough of something. Baby shower details are pending for those who are asking.

• Long sleeve onesies
• hats
• socks
• small packages of diapers in different brands (gotta figure out what works!)
• Desitin or similar (store brands are OK with us)
• Newborn pants (winter baby, I need to be able to layer her up)
• Sleepsacks (seriously, have you seen these? AWESOME!)
• Cloth diapers without fasteners OR burp cloths (whichever ends up being easier/cheaper to find)
• Sheets for pack-n-play/porta crib
• baby washcloths and towels
• baby-friendly digital thermometer
• baby monitor (audio-only..get me that stupid video one and I'll shoot you)
• Bottle brushes to clean the zillions of bottles we have
• Receiving blankets

Randomly short annoyed rant

I just want to say to every single person who has called me a hypocrite because I believe in equal rights and yet took my husband's last name: BITE ME.

I believe in choice. I chose to change my last name. It felt right to me. If a woman gets married and chooses something else because that feels right to her, awesome.

Lay off my fucking case already.

Love,
Tonee Keating
