We're Registered!

We were itching to register and pick out all the fun baby stuff.  We were waiting to find out if it was a boy or a girl.  We found out on Friday that it was a girl and went about registering that Saturday and Sunday!  I know that Target just redid their baby section, and I'm hoping that it stays around for a while.  I registered exactly two months before my shower.  Hopefully there will be no problems with items being unavailable!  We headed to Target on Saturday.

I came prepared.  Oh yes I did bring a clipboard with a list! :)  And yes, those are colored pens and highlighters! ha ha!  I wanted to make sure I got the items that I had researched.  I also wanted to make sure I noted any changes.  I didn't write everything on the list.  Some things I just saw as I walked down the aisle and knew I needed.  (Who researches things like washcloths and towels?  I'm not that OCD!)

I also came prepared in other ways.  I had heard nightmares about how long registering lasted and how "overwhelming" it could be.  I made sure to bring water, a pepcid AC (in the baggie by the water), and snacks.

I highlighted and checked my list and Michael was in charge of the gun!

I think we were rather effective.  It took us almost exactly 2 hours.  We weren't overwhelmed or confused at all.  I call it a success! :)

On Sunday we did the same exact thing at Babies R Us.  It took us two hours as well, but we got everything on the list that we can think of.

I also did a very small registry online at One Step Ahead.  I did it mostly for my mother-in-law, because she is excited about her very first grandchild and is ready to spoil her! :)  But also because there are things on there that we love.

Michael really wants this

It changes colors to tell you if the nursery temperature is good for a baby.

I think this is genius!

It's a clock that tells toddlers (who don't know how to tell time) if they are allowed to get up, or if they have to stay in bed a little longer! LOVE!

I also want/need the containers for the baby food I plan to make.  I could use ice trays, but I've heard great things about these containers.

Ahh... and so much more!  This having a baby business is a lot of fun! :)
