[blparent] Questions about purchasing baby items

[Jo Elizabeth Pinto]

Hi, Angelina.  You must be getting really excited as the time for your baby 
to be born gets nearer.

My best advice is, keep it simple.  I didn't really worry about a theme for 
the baby's room because I'd been given a lot of things secondhand, and 
believe me, accept those gifts.  Babies grow out of clothes and equipment so 
quickly, it doesn't make sense to spend a lot of money on everything.  And 
keep it simple, because soon enough your baby will be mobile and curious, 
and then more often than not, the room will look like a miniature hurricane 
hit it, and you'll be picking up all those cute little things you had to 
have off the floor.

Good luck,
Jo Elizabeth

It is easy--terribly easy--to shake a man's faith in himself. To take 
advantage of that to break a man's spirit is devil's work. Take care of what 
you are doing. Take care.--George Bernard Shaw in "Candide"
