So DH and I were wandering the baby-product related aisles of our local Target (Tar-zhey) yesterday. No, it's not what you think; we had to buy a gift for my girlfriend's baby shower. Anyway I felt as lost and bewildered as a model in a grocery store. We were picking up random products, looking at each other and wondering "what the hell is this?" Ultimately I bought a receiving blanket (what the hell is a "receiving blanket?" Why can't they just call it a freakin' "blanket?") and a gift card, because I was so totally out of my element that my ovaries were revolting. And they were supposed to be drawn to this stuff. It's like two similarly polarized magnets - instead of attracting each other, they repelled.
The most disturbing thing DH discovered was the Womb Sounds Teddy Bear. Turn a knob and something sounding like an ultrasound came from the bears tummy. This was supposed to be soothing to an infant, but it totally freaked me out.
I'm not going to lie - we ran away screaming from those aisles. It was truly frightening.

"womb sounds?" that phrase by itself is slightly disturbing
Just wait till all your friends can talk about is their new baby, that will really freak you out!
