Why the hell do BRUs not have Starbucks in them?

weelass24 · January 2011

Seems it would be the perfect spot for one.

Also, there were a ton of clearly confused first time parents in there walking around with registry guns, attempting to fold up Snap N Go and just looking completely lost. I felt bad for them. Had I had any energy, I would have offered to help some of them.

Oh, so you saw me and DH then.

We pretty much threw in the towel when we got to bottles and just started scanning at random before tossing the gun to the floor and fleeing for our lives.

Sounds like you need to send an email to BRU corporate.

Lol, I totally want to be the know-it-all mom whenever I see someone registering at BRU and it takes all I have not to say something. Its like a compulsion "No! Don't register for that! You'll never use it!" or "Dude, you need this. Don't question it. Just zap it with the gun and keep moving".

They should set up the Starbucks by the test gliders. That's where I spent most of my time in BRU.

*looks around* Are you spying on me? I'm such a clueless first-time parent lol. Luckily we've decided on a crib and will be ordering it tonight

Plusalsotoo, I agree with you on the Starbucks.

I would have thrown my arms around you and never let go.

I've never felt like a bigger moron in my entire life. DH was like "we're two smart, educated people, A. We can figure this out."

Meanwhile his eyes were getting ready to roll back in his head.

My friend who already had a baby came with me to register and basically pointed at things for me to scan. I had no idea what was going on, but it turned out I had pretty much everything I needed and not much else.

My tip - trying doing it online. You can read reviews etc. It makes it easier.

Oh sure. Ruin my registry stalking fun. :pouts:

Confession: I kinda miss the registry and deal-hunting part of a 1st pregnancy. Poor Squeakquel is almost nothing new. I bought him 2 newborn sleep-n-plays, just because I feel bad.

Don't feel bad. I already have my diapers registry/shopping list started.

I'm kind of cheap on a lot of things. We have already been loaned a gender neutral swing. We will also borrow a bouncer and probably some playmats and a ton of clothes, boy or girl. But it has been super fun. I do have a CD Registry started on Jillians Drawers.

LOL. We bought a ton of new onsies in Ireland. That's all we have and we aren't planning on buying much else, except somewhere to store all this newborn crap.

Poor kid is getting screwed, unless it comes out female.

That was definitely MH and I while registering. I was actually annoyed, because we were trying to wave down an employee to show us how to fold up the damn thing (yes, we were actually struggling with a snap and go). Everyone ignored us.

Looking at baby stuff makes me feel dumb. I'm just assuming I don't need to majority of it and will learn my lesson the hard way when/if I'm wrong.

Almost all of Gavin's clothes we hand-me-downs for the first 14-15 months of his life. I didn't have to outfit him on my own with new stuff until this fall.
