Putting Together A Baby Registry

Congratulations! Chances are if you are reading this, you are expecting a new addition to your family. This is such an exciting time, with lots of planning and preparing! One of the best gifts you can give to yourself (and your new little one) is to put together a baby registry. Having a registry lets your family and friends know what you would like to have on hand for baby without having to worry about receiving doubles or triples of certain items; or worse, receiving a green and yellow crocheted bottle cozy from Great Aunt Betsy!

Your first item of business will be to choose one or two stores that specialize in baby gear and make sure they offer a baby registry. Now the fun begins! Whether you choose an online retailer or visit a store, you will get to browse, compare and then put together your wish list.

How do I know what to choose? you might ask. There are many books and websites available that will offer you a variety of lists that will help you pinpoint the items you may need. When you begin your browsing, you are going to want everything for your special little angel. The reality is that you really wont need everything that is offered. I am going to offer a few suggestion lists for items to help get you started

Crib

Bassinette or Co-sleeper

and even more Diapers

These lists are only the tip of the iceberg. You will see when you are putting your wish list together, that there are tons of other items to choose. Be sure to put everything on your list that you would think you would like. Chances are if you leave something off the list, you may regret not having that item. On the other end of the spectrum, you may find that you have an item or two that you never even used. Whats great about this is you can save the unopened items for future gifts to pass onto your family or friends for their babies!

This is a special time in your life that will go by so quickly, so have fun with all the planning and dreaming while you prepare for you little bundle of joy! Do your research, choose your gift ideas wisely; so when baby arrives all you will have to worry about is showering your little bundle with love!
