I know we are first-time parents and all, but the amount of stuff that we bring with us on outings with Lucy is sometimes ridiculous. The fact is, though, we use most of it. Here is a non-exhaustive list of the things we toted to a spontaneous visit at Andy & Jane’s the other night for just a couple hours:<\/p>\n

\"Beach<\/p>\n

* receiving blanket
\n* gorgeous green blanket, hand-knit by Aunt Lisa (good for “nursing modesty”)
\n* 5 disposable diapers (see below for “our formula”:#diaper-formula)
\n* box of baby wipes
\n* pacifier
\n* Pacifier Pod (thanks to Annie & Nate!)
\n* MayaWrap
\n* BabyBj\u00c3\u00b6rn
\n* 2 burp cloths
\n* “The Ball”:\/news\/2006\/bouncing-baby-boyd (yes, it *was* needed — Jon used it and Lucy conked right out)
\n* camera
\n* 2 onesies
\n* 2 baby t-shirts
\n* long-sleeved shirt (for Mama)<\/p>\n

It’s conservative, but we’ve been caught short-diapered one too many times already.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
