Ok Jdid, no time to panic.
So I/we've (de wife and I) started doing some baby shopping in preparation for the new arrival. Well its been less like shopping and more like looking cause nothing much has been bought yet. Just some shopping forays to get an idea about what we need and how much it costs.
Well what can I say. Its been quite an experience. I've been looking at strollers, playpens ( I thought they had a different function mind you), cribs (unfortunately not the type featured on MTV), car seats and a whole lot of other baby stuff. Its actually quite a bit of info to ingest but so far its been interesting.Strollers, prams, sorry they call them travel systems if ya please now, in themselves are like a whole course that should be taught to soon to be parents. I mean the range and diversity in colors, number of wheels, size of wheels, weight, adjustments and materials are amazing. Its enough to make me call them baby cars because there seem to be about as many makes and models as your average automobile. I mean they even make three wheel jogging strollers these days. What will they think of next!
And they have interesting names too; the Euro, the Passage, the Spree. Boy when the lady at the store tell me about the Spree, I was thinking Spreewells and saying to myself "boy these days they even making baby prams with spinners!" I aint buying no baby carriage with no spinners though next thing ya know baby talking bout "sitting on dubs" and want me buy him/her bling bling. Imagine if I have a chile like that, looking like lil'John or one of those dudes. Yeaaaahhh! What!! Ok I'm bugging. Sounds like a nice Chappell skit though.Oh and as an aside why is it in Scarborough town centre all the strollers are locked down while I can go to the Eaton Centre and fool around with any stroller in the said same department stores. I must live in a bad area, people tiefing strollers lawd ave mercy!
Next baby post: Baby classes and why I'm still traumatized! (Coming next week possibly)

More stuff to shop for! A woman's dream :) I can't wait to hear about the classes -- please write about it soon, I need a good laugh ;)
I hate some of the "Extra" stuff they put out there to spend on babies/children. My co-workers think I'll be a bad father cause I say thinks like..."let them kids go flip on a mattress" or "Give them an empty box".
hahahaha @ STC
That's right! Don't you remember when teenagers smashed and grabbed all the shoe stores? I had people trying to sell me left feet of shoes for weeks. Now those shoes have bungee cords on them. They are shackled to the counter like Kunta's foot... smh
Yah man, tings will be copacetic ...make sure you enjoy the journey, all of it, an doh worry too much about the destination.
Happy day ahead!!
Boy you now got pieca shopping to do, modern day babies need a whole lot of stuff. If you have a girl you can hire me to be your personal baby shopper.
Can't wait to hear about the classes i.e. hurry up and write.
It's about time somebody invented a remote control pram, kinda like those toy cars one of my nephews love.
Haha, imagine all the daddies and that!
Awww hang in there. It does get better and yes, they don't chain and bolt stuff down in the glitzy neighborhood...they don't trust us.
Waiting patiently on the choice of names.See the possibilities of baby posts:)
Awwww, you're going to be a new daddy! Enjoy the journey. I love baby shopping ...everything is just so cute. LOL at the stroller with spinners. I'm a new God mommy. Wait until you see all the new formulas, pacifiers,bottles,wipes, pampers. I will follow your post closely.
LOL strollers with spinners, that would be a site, you would need to buy a pimp-bottle, all decked out with coloured ice to match!
Don't forget to give the baby a blog-father and blog-mother!
