Registry Rant

So I have 8 weeks left to go for my first child and it is a whole new experience that some of it I expected and some of it I did not. I have been getting so overwhelmed by stuff that it has been sending me into frenzies on a regular basis. My baby shower is coming up in a week and a half and since I haven’t been working I don’t have much to do but sit around at home and surf the internet. So I have this bad habit of checking my registry daily normally more then once, and nothing is coming off of it. I am in a tight situation and don’t have the money to buy the things that I will need or like so I am really counting on my registry. Well I couldn’t find the play yard that I wanted from where I registered but I found it in an American store where my dad travels every week so I asked him if he could maybe get it and the swing and high chair to match. I woke up on Tuesday morning to find that he had dropped it off to my mom. So I went to take a look and found out it was two different sets and neither was the set I wanted. After having a meltdown Monday night before bed I still wasn’t in the right frame of mind so I had another melt down. I know that in my situation I should be grateful that he got it for me but in that moment all I could think of is how hard is it to get someone what they asked for after I had spent hours searching online for the set that I liked style and colour wise. Everyday I find myself obsessing over the wrong set or will anything come off my registry and I guess I just need to settle down and let what is meant to be be and thats all I can do right now.
