Having a baby is much more complicated than in years past. There are lists of things a person has to do to prepare for the baby's arrival (the implication being that a baby can scarcely survive with less) - from picking a crib with the right size slats (evidently babies' heads have shrunk since we were born and now easily slip between the slats of old cribs) to choosing an appropriate wipe-warmer. Needless to say, expectant parents must choose which things they will and will not do and purchase. We have chosen to comply with one of the newer trends - creating a blog, to share news and pictures of the baby, of parental distress and confusion, and general updates on our lives and thoughts (aside from the baby even?) So, here it is, if you choose to suth-scribe.
