Missing: One Normal Mommy

Since discovering that I was pregnant I have had this ongoing fear that I will forget to do something really important BEFORE the birth of the baby only to realize it once the baby is here. For example... let's say I have the baby, I checkout of the hospital everything is good, then I get to the car and realize that I have forgotten to buy a car seat, now I am stuck waiting while I send someone out to go buy one at the closest store... or let's say I do remember to buy a car seat, baby makes it home while on the way falling asleep.. We get home and I realize no crib! Ok well you see my point. So I have started 2 different baby registries, and it is making me feel somewhat better. It gives me a list of everything that we will need; however because of my paranoia I am constantly updating it. The real issue arises with my choice of registries:

(1) Target (http://www.target.com/gp/registry/registry.html/ref=gp_re_registry/601-9220814-9738514?ie=UTF8&sort=taxonomy&type=babyreg&id=1XPIB7KJ66FV7&msgid=&jsebd=1&message=&pageNum=1&view=owner)
(2) Amazon.com (http://www.amazon.com/gp/registry/registry.html?ie=UTF8&type=baby&id=2W67EEXBQB0RU).

Now you might ask, what is wrong with these two sites? Nothing if you know what you want... if you don't there is no limit to the amount of things you can find just browsing... I mean really who needs a $17,000 pacifier? (http://www.amazon.com/3ct-Diamond-Pacifier-Pave-Diamonds/dp/B000VG4608/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=baby-products&qid=1199911271&sr=1-1)
Well it certainly keeps me busy (as if I didn't have enough to do with law school). If you happen to look at my registry and see something that is blaringly missing, PLEASE let me know so I don't have to come home to find that I am without it and it is the one and only thing that will stop a baby from crying :)
PS. This whole blogging thing is pretty new to me still so I still haven’t mastered the art of hyperlinks… I swear I am trying :)
