Now that we have our gender confirmation, my husband and I finally completed our registry. I had already begun listing the more expensive, gender neutral items online, but we actually went into the store with the scanner gun and registered for everything else. Let me be the first to tell you: that was an exercise in patience. Even with all of the big ticket items (car seat, stroller, co-sleeper, glider, breast pump) already registered for online, it took a long time and a lot of thought to complete. Registering for a baby is so different than a wedding registry. No one worries about safety reviews and personal recommendations when it comes to picking out china patterns and bed sheets. With a baby registry, I felt like every single thing had to be the best, in addition to being within our budget and style preferences.
Luckily, I went armed with the Baby Bargains book, which was a huge help. I also brought a snack and water on the advice of others, which I’m glad I did, since we went to both Babies R Us and Target (which were fortunately right next door to each other) because we’re registered at both places. Thankfully, we are finally done with this baby planning aspect, and can move forward with decorating the nursery!
