Re: when to register
I still haven't registered and I'm 33 weeks. I think after you're into your 2nd trimester, it's ok to register. If you plan on finding out the sex, register after you find out. You'll have to keep checking it though because alot of stuff will get pulled from stores because the season will change or recalls etc.
I'll be 37 weeks at my shower. I didn't want to have it so late but it didn't work any other weekend. It was originally suppose to be when I was 34 weeks. I think sometime between 30 and 35 weeks is good.
GL!
Becca Mac, you really need to get on it! people will not know what to get you for your shower if you dont register
as for the original poster - you can register now if you want, you will change things around a hundred million times before announcing your registry via your invites, so might as well get started, and dont be frustrated when things are out of stock, temporarily unavailable , etc from your registry, it has happened to me even with newly added items.
We registered early, like week 12 I think, but no one knew about it. It was more for me to work on and research everything before people started looking at it. I did all the registering online, so I first went through and picked out what was cute, then researched it to make sure it was the best price and quality, so a lot of stuff ended up being changed. For our wedding we registered a month after getting engaged, and the wedding was a year away, but it gave me time to change things, and update if anything was discontinued. I don't see what the big deal is about registering early, since it's not like anyone is looking for it until they get the shower invite with the information on it. It's just nice to do it a little at a time, and not get overwhelmed by walking into a store and having to scan everything.
As for the showers, my first one was last Saturday and the next one is Oct 17th. I can't imagine doing it at 35 weeks or more! I was uncomfortable enough bending over to open all the gifts with out adding another 5 weeks growth. It will also give us almost two months to organize and buy anything we need that we didn't get.
