I just put 3 fitness related items on my baby registry. 

 

I think I will be getting a small work shower, and I do work for a tanning salon/fitness center...I think my work girls understand me, and it IS my 2nd boy so I don't need a lot of things.... if someone gets any of it, great - if not, oh well.

Good idea!  I might add a few things now.

I say it's your registry, you should add what you want. If you get them wonderful, if not use that coupon you get from the store

MrsEmm

haha - maybe you should throw some powertools on there for DH too.

I don't see anything wrong with it.  I was then going to ask you what you were getting fitness-wise from baby's r us....I guess that is not the only baby registry place.  HaHa.  You are probably registered at Target or the like.

I didn't think people registered for 2nd babies.

I think it's kind of tacky =/

While I didn't plan on having a shower with my "2nd child", I see no problem with using a registry as a wish list for yourself.  My work planned on throwing me a shower even though I didn't want one because they weren't around when my DD was born.  Now that I have multiples, I need all the help I can get and I've had 3 offers for showers.

well, buy buy baby gives you a list of what you need for second baby if you were to register . . I think where its questionable is if you were having a baby shower for your second child . .many people thinks its tacky . .

we registered, so that I can get the completion coupon at the end and buy the double stroller we will need . . it isn't a gift registry, but a tab for us to get what we need. .   i have it notes at the top that this isn't a gift registry and that it is for us to figure out what we need . .

Doing it for the discount makes sense.

Who cares about what other people say/think?? Do what you want and will make you happy.

Indeed.  We live in an "all about me" society, so why not?!

I figure I might as well register for the things I need since someone is throwing me a shower.  

 

I dunno though.  I could just not register.  I could insist that the host not throw the party for me/baby.  *shrug*

Let's not be dramatic. Have the party and if you don't get what you need/want, just return it and get what you need/want. I don't see what the issue is...

I registered for DS2, but he is nearly 6 years younger than DS1 so it was like starting all over again for us and even then, I only registered because my SILs wanted to throw us a shower. It turned out to be wasted effort on my part since just like with DS1, no one shopped off of it. We got tons of clothes and some diapers though, so that was helpful. I think registering for 2nd babies just depends on age difference and whether or not someone is throwing a shower.

MrsBalletStar05

But really, isn't that what is being implied by telling someone to not register this time around?  Either don't register (which is silly if you KNOW you're being thrown a shower) or insist the host not give you a shower?  I want to know just how many people would tell someone at work, "please don't throw me a baby shower! " I wasn't there when first DS was born.  Heck, the last baby shower we had at work was for a lady having her 3rd girl. 

 

If it were your family throwing you the shower it MIGHT be different due to the fact that everyone invited would have been invited to the last one.

Dont feel bad,  I'm going to register for  Wii and Wii Fit.  No one will get it, but at least I might get a coupon afterwards.   Its much easier than registering for P90x!
