Overwhelmed

I went into Babies "R" Us today, to start registering for a few things. It was nice at first, they sit you down and explain how everything works, how to use the scanner, where everything is, and they give you a list (For first time parents) of things you will be needing to register for. I'm thinking OK this should be good, and quick.....well nothing with me is quick, but at least this should be painless right?

WRONG!!! I got started, and then my mind just went all over the place! There was so much stuff on that list! This list had everything down to cotton swabs......I repeat, COTTON SWABS.....I don't think it would have ever crossed my mind to make sure I had cotton swabs handy? So then I start thinking, maybe I'm not cut out for this whole motherhood thing. I mean, I don't know how much of something to get, do I need to register for this now if I won't need it for 6 more months, do I need outlet covers if the baby won't be walking the first day they are home? I think I walked around the store about 6 times running back to scan stuff I forgot, or had decided against it the first time around and changed my mind about 15 minutes later.

Do you think I could just hire someone to buy all of this for me, and just make sure everything looks cute in the nursery........do people like that exist? I know I have about 5 months left, but all the sudden it seems so urgent to get this all done now, and RIGHT NOW!

I am sure some of you out there understand right? Or am I in a land of my own? If anybody would like to leave helpful tips or comments on this post, they are more than welcome! I am hoping this craziness will soon pass, at least until the baby arrives, then I am sure there will be a whole new level of crazy in this house!
