Registry

At the beginning of this week, I decided that I would delve into the world of baby registration.  I started with three tabs open.  One was Pinterest, the second was an email of my good friend's registry for her first baby, and the third was Target.  

I desperately searched Pinterest for a "simple but thorough" registry.  I should have known better.  I found a concise list, but when I turned my attention to Target and my friend's two year old registry, I realized something: Somewhere along the line people have started making a million different types of pacifiers, bottles, swings, cribs, etc.  

I knew that I needed/wanted the basics, but how am I supposed to guess what this small being is going to prefer when they get into this world?  Needless to say, I spent an hour clicking back and forth between the lists I found on Pinterest and Target before I realized that I was thoroughly overwhelmed.  Target was beautifully easy to navigate, but there was just so much to choose from that I didn't know where to start, which led to me jumping from category to category, which then led to me being thoroughly confused as to what I had accomplished and what I still needed.  

Of course the hubby during all of this was dutifully answering questions, making suggestions, and doing his best to feign interest, but it was clearly difficult to start and finish the registry completely online.

I did find some great items that we are really excited about getting!  The actual baby stuff comes recommended from one of my good friends who had a baby in the past year, and the stroller I have seen in action and really couldn't imagine anything else.  All items can be found on Target.com, and we plan to continue the registry in person this weekend!
