Baby Registering

Look at me with all the baby talk now!

Well, I recently found, in the bottom of my nightstand drawer, a couple of lists I made while I was pregnant. I made a list of things I wanted to be sure I registered for. Of course, we always register for way more than that; but, I wanted to make sure I registered for some items at either Target, Walmart, or Amazon.com.

I thought about sharing the list with my friend. However, why not share it with everyone else too? Sure! Then, those fellow mothers out there could add other things. It sure would save her some time searching the internet! :)

Here were my 'Must Register For' items:

If anyone has any questions about what an item is or what I used it for or why I used it, I would be happy to share. Please share any other items that you thought were very helpful or necessary for you.

One thing I didn't use; but, I know a lot of mothers do, is a baby bjorn or a swaddler/carrier. New moms might want to try them out. :)

Happy baby registering, friend!
