Eric and I registered this weekend. I was so excited when I woke up on Saturday. We went to Starbucks and had a nice breakfast together, and then headed off to Target to start the registering process. It was a bit overwhelming, but I had e-mailed several young mom friends before to get their suggestions, so I thought that I came prepared...I was wrong. I can't tell you haw many times we came to an item and had this exact conversation:
"What is that?"
"Do we need it?"
"How the heck do I know?!"
"Well, let's just scan it."
There are just so many things that you never think about needing. Here are just a few:
A bottle warmer - Never thought about the fact that I might wanna warm up my milk quicker, since apparently you can't microwave breast milk.
Bottles and nipples for different ages - Who knew?! I just thought a bottle was a bottle. Apparently not, because this was quite possibly the most stressful isle for us.
Nap and Play Sleepers - Didn't even know what this was, but apparently you need them.
Car Safety Mirror - At first I thought it was just silly, but then as I looked at it more, I realized it would probably give me peace of mind in the car - so sure, scan it.
Anyways, it was kinda comical. Eric was in charge of the scanner and by the end of our Target run, he ended up in the Nerf section - there may also be some Hulk hands on our registry.
After a yummy lunch, we headed to Babies 'R Us, and were immediately overwhelmed the minute we walked in. And we thought Target was rough. While in Babies 'R Us, we definitely took advantage of the gliders in the back. My feet were killing me by the time we were done - and I still didn't feel like I registered for everything I wanted. I ended up adding and deleting when I got home.
I do wish I could register on Etsy though. All of the necessities are covered with Babies 'R Us and Target, but all of the cutsie things that I love, and the things to match his room are all on Etsy. I decided to add some of my Etsy wishes on here...you know for family and such. ;)
