Getting Ready for Baby!

Now that the holidays are over and life is beginning to get back to normal, I'm turning my focus on the next few projects for the year.  One of which, of course, is getting ready for the baby's arrival.  Today Alex & Emily and I went to BabysRUs to register for a few items that we will need for the baby.  Although we have a lot of things that are needed, some items are nearly 7 years old and are either in rough shape or simply not recommended for use (like the infant car seat that is only rated for 5 years because, according to the manufacturer, the plastic quality degrades after that length of time).  Anyway, the main purpose for creating a registry is to take advantage of the close-out program that the store offers, in which they'll send me a coupon good for 10% off my purchases from the registry.  Keeping this in mind, I've included things on the registry that ARE gender specific, so that I can buy them after the baby arrives and still get the discount!  

I have two sets of bedding picked out for the baby's room.  The plan is to wait until our little one arrives to purchase the bedding and use the bassinette until the bedding arrives.  

If it's a girl, we'll get this bedding:  "Butterfly Meadow" by Kidsline, Inc. 
If it's a boy, we'll get this bedding: "Baby Noah" by Bananafish


For anyone interested in taking a peek at the registry, it's registry #94774637 at BabysR'Us.

Very cute sets...I really like the boy set, but of course that is all I am used to! I checked out the registry, just remember if there is some stuff that you guys don't get something like the travel system, you can always have our carrier and 2 bases....we are done with them! :) But, totally understand if you want your own!

Thanks for the offer! I might take you up on that! Hmmm... that's got me thinking... maybe I should separate the travel system into stroller and car seat. I doubt that I'll use the stroller much in the first couple of weeks and so if I used your base & infant carrier.... that would save us money! I'll have to talk to you about it! Thanks again!
