Online Shopping for Baby Gear


I started to compile a list of baby gear that we’re going to need.  I subscribed to Pregnancy and Newborn Magazine and they have tons of suggestions for crap.  I figured it’s best to keep a list of things needed.  We have a long time to get everything but I want to make sure we’re prepared.  My lists ended up being baby registries on Amazon and Target.  I honestly don’t expect anyone to buy us anything because I honestly don’t think anyone will, but it’s good to stay organized and who knows maybe someone will feel generous and surprise us with a gift for our baby.  The good part is we can buy things off the registry ourselves over time.  We decided we didn’t want to know the sex of the baby until it’s born.  We prefer to be surprised and I’d rather have all unisex things anyway to keep and use for our future second baby.  Plus I’m don’t like pink at all.  If we have a girl I’ll want to get purple and yellow things.  If we have a boy, I like aqua blue and sea green.  Most of my baby registry things are aqua blue, yellow and green anyway.  They’re neutral colors that work for either gender.  I definitely want two children but I joked around that maybe I should rethink it when my nausea was so bad.  The magazine actually came with coupons for free baby gear.  I got a free nursing pillow, nursing cover, baby sling and carseat cover.  Of course I had to pay for shipping so it wasn’t really free but nursing pillows are usually 40 bucks so paying 14 instead is worth it.  I also ordered a diaper bag I really liked.  I saw it at Target and then they didn’t have it anymore but I found it online and figured I’d better get it.  It’s black with sea green trim.  Can’t wait for my goodies to come in the mail.  I got a baby book off Amazon as well but we haven’t started to fill it in yet.  I actually even entered the magazine’s contest to win free baby gear.  I honestly don’t think anyone ever wins those things but I figured it’s worth a shot.  Any help we can get would be worth it.
