Sometimes the process of getting ready for birth feels like studying for a final exam. There are books to read, equipment to purchase, checklists and more checklists, classes to take, appointments to make, plans and strategies. And it doesn't pay to cram at the last minute!

And then, when I pass and graduate, the real fun begins.

Re: baby items:

If it doesn't come in pastel pink or baby blue, it comes in sage green. And only sage green. OK, sometimes yellow. Rarely, if you're lucky, lavender. Or if it's expensive and "eco-friendly" or organic, it might come in "neutral," i.e. off-white.

At this point I think I would kill for something in a royal purple.

ETA: b/c I already have two boxfuls of clothing and more coming, I am thinking more about blankets, towels/washcloths, bedding, and decor, in my specific case (i.e. when I am not whining about the state of baby stuff in general). I mean, do I really need a gender-coded *washcloth*?
