We really thought we were pros at the whole registry thing... being that we got married last year and had the bridal registry.... but boy were we wrong! Even with all the shopping we do for friends who are registered for weddings / babies... we were no where as prepared as we should have been when we started scanning baby items!
We started the registry before we started telling people we were expecting... Brian was so much more excited than I was - probably b/c I was too sick to think about strollers or pack and plays at the time. Now that the nausea has passed... we can both share in the joy of nesting and creating a wish list for the new baby. But gosh there are SOOO many choices. I think in the end we made some great decisions but I guess only trial and error will tell...
These were some of the more "difficult" choices... but checking out friends registries definitely helped so THANKS to those of you who "helped" without even knowing it!
1. Travel System Stoller or Not?... we chose the Peg Perego Car Seat and separate stroller...they connect together but its not considered a "system"
2. Bassinet or Pack & Play? Since our place is not huge, we chose the Pack & Play only... sinec it will get more use along the way
3. High Chair or Booster? Both... one for our house and one for Grandma & Grandpa's! Future Grandkids will benefit!
4. Infant Car Seat or Convertible... Infant Car Seat.
5. What Bottles? Decided to go with a few different brands since we have no idea what the baby will favor... We are trying the whole "nursing" thing so we will see how that goes...
6. Diaper Geenie or Diaper Champ ? Got mixed reviews on both but in the end we went with the Champ
Thanks to the great folks at Babies R Us and Buy Buy Baby we have now completed our registry's.... Just one more step to being ready for Baby Wilson! A few people already asked why register at 2 places... there are different benefits with each one (more for the buyer of the items than for us)... Plus there is the location factor.
