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.
