We started picking up baby stuff last week. First, we went to my friend's sister-in-law's and got a bunch of items. Next, Scott's mom came to visit and bought us a baby stroller. We had already received a few hand-me downs awhile back and we did get a few cute baby things for Christmas but it feels like things have officially begun in the 'gathering baby stuff' department.
Having baby items strewn about the house seems to help with the adjustment issues that we are having about becoming parents. I look at the car seat every time I walk up the stairs and I think about a baby being in there. We are forced to start thinking about how to organize the baby's room so that we can find a place for all of these items. Scott has started to visualize a baby participating in every activity that we are doing so that he can get used to the thought of having a baby around. As I had said before, being pregnant for nine months is a good way to get used to the idea of becoming parents and this just feels like another stage in that process.
