Baby Thing, The Place To Learn About All The Different Things For Baby!

Hello, and welcome to Baby Thing.  I want my first post to give you some information about me, and what this site is all about.

My name is Jen, and I am a stay at home Mom.  I have a 6 year old son, a 4 year old son, and a 22 month old daughter.  I remember like it was yesterday seeing the positive line on my home pregnancy test for my first pregnancy.  At first I was beyond excited.  We had been trying for a year, and it finally happened.  Then, it hit me, “Oh My God, it finally happened!”  I was happy, excited, scared, overwhelmed and more.  I never even knew that you could experience so many emotions at one time.  Once I had been to the doctors to confirm that everything was going well, the fun and chaos began.  It was time to prepare for the baby.  I never imagined that there would be so much to do, so many decisions to make, and how many things you could possibly need for one tiny little person.

Here is where baby thing comes into play.  I want to help you: the expectant parent, the new parent and the overwhelmed parent.  I want to help you navigate your way through all the things for baby that you actually need, and the things that are really just fun or cute fluff, but not necessary.  We will sort out all of the baby gear and infant products you can think of.  I remember when my husband and I went to Babies R Us to register, I was so excited to pick out everything, but so confused.   I had been to the store plenty of times before to shop for others, but when I walked in to pick out stuff for my own baby I swear the store grew like 5 times larger than I remembered it.  There is just so much stuff.   I want to help eliminate that confusion for you.  As I mentioned earlier, I have three young children.  All of the baby stuff is still very fresh in my mind, and I am going to share with you all of the tips I have learned along way when it comes to baby things.  I will also share some other useful tidbits here and there that I have picked up along the way.  Parenthood can make the most sane person crazy at times, so I am going to tell you some things that help me.

I look forward to sharing my experiences with you, and I would love to hear your comments and thoughts.  Welcome, and I hope you enjoy baby thing!
