One of the biggest challenges facing us as new parents was getting the house ready for our little bundle of joy. Since both my wife and I came from single child households, we had never seen our parents buy the kids furniture or toys that a newborn would need. In a nutshell, we just had no idea.
But we did have some mutual friends, Kate and Steve that had two kids of their own that offered to help us with getting our home ready. They were willing to give us a hand, and help us to shop for everything that we would need. We knew that it was going to be an adventure, and we were just happy to have someone to share it with.
When we made it to the first store, I was shocked at the number of baby toys that were available. There were row upon row of toys and I really had no idea where to start. Sure, there were some gender neutral ones (since we didn’t know what we were having) but I still felt like I was over my head.
Though the rest of the shopping trip was a success, it really got me thinking: Will I be ready for this baby?
