If you think its easy to walk into a store and pick out the perfect stroller, car seat, crib, etc. - you are wrong! There is an overwhelming amount of options and just when you think you've narrowed down the list, you see something else popping out from the corner of your eye and bam - the list grows!
Chris and I have been checking out strollers most recently. Of course, we want one that is safe, reliable, easy to use and Chris wants an "off-roader". He wants to be able to take the baby on adventures in the park and not have to be tied down to stick to silly paved roads.
We know that there is no need to go overboard on the baby stuff, especially before the baby is even born, but I dare you to walk through Babies 'R' Us and not want to grab every little boot and bib that is on the shelf! They are just so freaking cute!

Well...I feel honored to have been a part of the "Cacophony" of goods search. I agree, the array is unlimited...each do-dad placed to tickle your fancy and fulfill your desire to give your future Herman everything there is to offer.
I think that you'll find that as you move along in the process of parenthood, there are some things that are necessities, some things that are desired, and finally some things that seemed like a good idea at the time but are actually appealing to your desires and are totally unnecessary for "Little Herman". The defining factor between these will occasionally only be evident with experience...and that comes with time.
Get the essentials first...then add to the list as time and needs go forward.
(More of Daddy's words of wisdom...gained only through the School of Hard Knocks and having acquired many things that I thought were essential, only to find out that they were only essential in my mind)
I think you should be shopping at Buy Buy Baby!!
