I am 23 weeks, and we know we are having a girl.  My mom is throwing me a shower but I don't know when.  I don't want to register too early and risk  alot of the stuff I want being discontinued but there is some really cute stuff out and it goes with the theme we picked for the nursery.  Could I go ahead a register and just keep an eye on the stuff they may be discontinuing or should I wait????

*Caress*

Were going today, I would just keep my eye on it... Plus most things you can register won't be discontinued.... like bottles, onesies, diapers, bath tubs, lotions... there's plenty of things.

I would. We are waiting until we find out what we are having then we are going... Not too much longer!!!

We are going after we find out the sex as well. I would just do it, most places will email you if something on your registry goes out anyway. But the basics will rarely be discontinued except for maybe the pattern. Unless there is a recall, which you should get an email on as well. I say do it!

I actually just started my registry and I'm only 16 weeks. . . but I had to because my mom was going to register for me!  I didn't put much on it.  I figure I can really take my time to research products and know what it is I want an add things online as I go.  Doing it all at once is so overwhelming to me.

Just register now.  I felt like the registry was a huge task (I hate asking for things) and I was glad to get it done and not have to worry about it anymore.  Registering is just not fun for me, but I saw it as something practical that we can use as a checklist for the things we want/need and whatever doesn't get bought for us, we'll have a list of things left we need to buy on our own.

ETA: I started my registry online (Target) and then went to the store a little later to add things that are only available in the store (like books/DVDs can be added to the registry only if you add them in-store).

Thanks ladies!!!!!! I'm gonna go for it. Wish me luck, I'm taking the hubs and he gets scanner happy.  Our wedding registry was VERY interesting. It took me as long to edit it as it did to actually register.

I started an online resgistery yesterday, I don't think it's too early. And, if things get discontinued, you can just add something else.

I've started online at BRU and walmart.?

It is pretty safe to register anywhere after 20 weeks.  The only thing you will have to pay attention to are clothes, they will switch out the season pretty early.  Other than that everything else stays the same

 Have fun! we actually did it in 2 trips, it was quite overwhelming to try to do all in one day.

I started my registry probably WAAAAY too early.  But then, I did most of it online and took a long time going through product reviews and stuff.  Now that we're nearing the end of the Second Trimester, my husband and I have been going into Babysaurus (BRU) and double-checking things like cribs and bouncers and whatever to make sure they're of the size, shape and quality that we want.  You know, assessing the physical properties of things that you just can't really get a feel for from a website description.

We actually found that the 5-in-1 crib I'd picked out was really chintzy and changed our minds.

We didn't register for any clothes practically at ALL, because we figure people are going to buy us whatever they want, regardless of what we pick out.  And besides: the baby doesn't care what it wears - it'll spit up on whatever!
