Success after IF

How much was bought from your registry

Just curious to see if people stuck to your registry or you ended up buying the majority of it yourself?
A lot of years and a million tears finally led me to you.
After 7 years trying to concieve, 3 failed IUIs and 2 failed IVFs, my third IVF was a success!
My Christmas baby turned into a turkey bird! Dillon Richard was born at 34 weeks, 5 days on November 28, 2009 after 10 weeks on bedrest for preeclampsia.

Re: How much was bought from your registry

  • The majority of my registry was bought for me and I got enough gift cards to get pretty much the rest of my stuff. I think we are going to be spending about $150 on the rest of the stuff we will need.

  • All of the big ticket items were purchased except for one stroller (we got 2 other ones so it was not something we needed right away).  We received enough gift cards (and I used a coupon) to  buy the stroller without spending any of our own money.  There were small items that we didn't get like pacifiers, some random baby toys, and a few other inexpensive things.  We bought our crib, dresser, and bedding ourselves so that was never on our registry.

  • I got every single item off my BRU registry (including a $400 glider!), which shocked me.  Our Amazon.com registry was a lot more "fun" stuff and a lot fewer necessities - very little of that was bought.  But when it came down to it, with the exception of furniture and bedding, we bought very very little for our DS.
