Baby registry

Creating a baby registry is an incredibly exhausting task. We spent FOUR HOURS at Babies R Us today scanning stuff that we didn't even recognize half the time. When we were standing in the receiving blanket aisle Brandon said "What the hell are these things for, exactly?"- I contemplated BS-ing an answer for a minute and finally said "I have no effing clue." Thank God the store provies a list of the things you need, we were like deer in the headlights. The strange Manager who was apparently God's gift to parents and the be-all-end-all authority on all things infant had a nice little story to tell us about how our cats will sleep on our baby's face. All in all, it was exhausting and incredibly overwhelming. Expensive, detailed, voluminous. :P

  1. Receiving blankets are great burp cloths and also nice to put in the baby bathtub to wrap around them so they don't get cold.
    The one item I suggest is a baby carrier of some sort. We had the sling (but those are controversial now) and I love the Moby Wrap. Something that gets them close to you with your movement. Babies love it.
