Fatherhood Necessities
As some of you might know, my wife and I are expecting our first child at Thanksgiving.
Recently my wife had a baby shower and received many great gifts (which means there's less money I'll have to spend). I mean, thanks for the presents.
Anyway, some of our neighbors couldn't make it to the baby shower and decided to hold one in our neighborhood...and it was for couples. I figured we'd get more presents for the baby, but it turns out one couple decided I needed something to prepare me for fatherhood.
The basket contains many useful items, such as:
eye mask - as if I'll be the one who gets to sleep since I'm not the one carrying the baby for 9 months
rubber gloves - major necessity for changing crappy diapers
condoms - actually a little late for these, but quite useful for when my wife decides she wants to try for another
tongs - I'll use these in conjunction with the gloves when changing the diapers. They won't be recycled to the kitchen when diaper duties are done.
sleeping pills - might have to fight my wife for these when the baby's crying all night
ear plugs - what's that? the baby's crying? I don't hear anything.
hand sanitizer - just in case the gloves rip while changing the crappy diapers
stress ball - the neighbors actually wanted to get me a breast implant
energy drink - need that for keeping up with the baby. Or maybe I'll give the baby a few swigs when my wife is home alone with him or her.
assorted cleaners and air sprays
aspirin - I already have a headache trying to put together all of the things that we received with a million parts each. Plus, apparently there was ONE night my wife didn't have a headache...or I wouldn't have received this basket.
The only thing missing from the basket was nose plugs, but since there are 4 ear plugs I can just stick 2 of those up my nose.
The only thing I need now is the baby. Bring it on!!!
