Holy Baby Supplies, Batman!

This past Saturday, my mom and aunt (actually her best friend, but she should be recognized as my aunt) threw me a baby shower. Most mother-to-be's would be ever so excited at this event, but I'm not most. I don't like to be the center of attention or have a fuss made over me. Needless to say, I was screw on that part. But the day did turn out to be a success. Rusty was a trooper and sat by my side for the whole two hours of awkwardly opening presents and trying to be a good little social butterfly. Which didn't work that well, but I can't please everybody.

Didn't we look thrilled?

Though my invitations were lacking any bit of registry info, my family was pretty good at guessing what they thought I would like and need. I had more presents than I could have imagined getting. I figured when I got home, there would be a few more things that I would still need to pick up, but my list would be much shorter than before. Boy, was I wrong. That night, both me and Rusty were tired, so we just put everything we got in the crib. Which was over flowing. The next day, I pulled everything out and sorted it on the bed. Once it was all out and grouped together, I just stood there with my mouth opened.

There's more that's not pictured..

Rusty did his manly duty and built the storage bins we're using for his dresser and I organized. After figuring what should go in which bin, I still ended up with the crib being full. Now it's just bottles, diapers, wipes, bedding, and clothes that need to be washed. While I organized, I checked everything off on my neat little check list I have on a pregnancy app on my phone. I couldn't believe it when I checked every essential off. The even more shocking thing was the amount of returns I have. Four. Yes, that's it. Out of everything you see in the picture, there are only four items that are duplicates. I'm so very impressed at everyone's shopping ability without a registry that has clues! I couldn't do it.

So now we have to endure the tiring parts. All of his clothes must still be washed, along with the bedding. I have to figure out where to store the all the many diapers and wipes that will be used so quickly once he's here. There are so many bottles, nipples, and pacifiers that need to be cleaned before he uses them. And some place has to be made for all the bottles in the cabinets! Plus, Rusty and I both have diaper bags that need to be packed. And the hospital bag! No, I still have not got that all packed and I'm down to just a mere 5 weeks before he's here! It may be in these few weeks that I quickly lose my sanity.
