Bringing Baby Home: Gear

G is for Gear. Shortly after finding out I was pregnant, I looked at the Babies R Us website and asked "What in the heck is baby gear?" Dictionary.com describes gear as " implements, tools, or apparatus, esp. as used for a particular occupation or activity; paraphernalia."

OK, but possessing a baby is not the same as an activity or occupation, like fishing or fisherperson. Still, there is gear required. Baby gear seems to be car seats, strollers, diaper bags, carriers, play yards, swings, bouncers and shopping car seats. I would also add all feeding implements, first aid implements, nursery decor and furniture, blankets, toys, and bath items. In fact, everything related to babies is considered gear. Only items are split into sections for feeding, bathtime, nursery decor, sleeping, and then gear. Gear, then, seems to be the stuff you carry around with the baby.

I'm rambling and he is crying.
