Less than 3 months

I have been feeling the anxiety of the inevitable as of late, the knowledge that I can kiss sleep goodbye, free time will be a minimum and life as I have known it for 33 years will be forever in the past. The weight of reality kicked in while moving all the shower gifts into the loft from the cars. So much stuff for such a little being. Don't get me wrong, we will need most of this crap... we got very, very few duplicate items or things that will need to be exchanged (not counting the stroller fiasco... THANKS MOM, you've the patience of a saint.)

Okay, the fiasco. We ordered what we thought was the perfect stroller. Then we decide it wasn't after going to the stores and trying out a bunch of models. My mother (since she ordered it in the first place) tried to return said stroller and get the newer, better option. Baby Universe is the worst and said "Sorry, no dice... even if you have spent a ton of money and the better one you want is a higher priced item than the one you original chose. We don't care if you hate us. We don't care if you are only one week past our 30 day policy. We must stand firm. Rules are rules."

So the long and the short of it is DON'T SHOP AT BABY UNIVERSE! They are really poor baby product people. I mean, how can you be so strict when you are dealing with something so amazing as the birth of a newbie!

More on my feelings of the inevitable later. Right now I am going to go get 8 hours sleep while I still can!
