I agree with the minimalist approach in just about everything. Let's see how it works out for us.MrsHhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18277631338883839373noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488658409482187787.post-15312633275494719042011-02-02T12:46:12.246-08:002011-02-02T12:46:12.246-08:00I'm going to post a follow-up to this, because...I'm going to post a follow-up to this, because it turns out I was right!Mskirkohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08663411434225995532noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488658409482187787.post-10340884255121739042010-04-13T07:55:32.082-07:002010-04-13T07:55:32.082-07:00Hi MsKirko!

I'm not yet pregnant but hubby and I are trying to conceive and we are very interested in going about this in a minimalist way.<br /><br />Now that your baby is here, are you finding it easy to stick with your original mission, or did you find that you were "missing" a lot of things you ended up wanting/needing, etc.? Thanks in advance for any thoughts or advice you may have.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2488658409482187787.post-89413145571262907322010-01-21T06:45:05.413-08:002010-01-21T06:45:05.413-08:00You have every right to be smug about it (but so r...You have every right to be smug about it (but so rarely is smugness appreciated) - and I think you're being super responsible. Babies have become quite the business - much like weddings - and people buy into the hype: must paint room, must have brand new furniture, must have a lamp that matches the quilt on the wall that matches the skirt on the bed that matches the curtains on the window that matches the rug on the floor (and you are SO right about a high chair: a complete waste of space for nothing more than a petry dish of lurking germs). I call shenanigans! It's soooo smart to not get wrapped up in it; having a baby IS exciting, the other stuff is ancillary. When I was pregnant, I was on Craigslist for just about everything we needed; the car seat we bought new, but just about everything else was from a garage sale or Craigslist. Oh, and we painted the room khaki and navy blue when we moved in (it was previously our guest bedroom), and our baby girl has yet to complain about it. <br />It's nice to see someone else who is being practical in baby having; everyone treated me like I was spoiling their fun. I'm glad I did it my way, and I'll do it the same way next time (God willing). Good luck in your responsible parenting -- you're off to a great start.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14501528379492029120noreply@blogger.com
