Team Green question

Did you register for boy and girl things, then based on what you have, will get that item?

Jibbelle

I think that would confuse people...I would register for gender neutral stuff...and maybe after the baby comes add gender specific stuff for the people that want to get you a gift after the baby arrives.

Okay. I registered for a blue and a pink towel set for the baby. Everything else is neutral. I was thinking of the bedding set.

Nope.  All neutral.  Some of the people who've seen my registry have argued that I must think I'm having a boy because there's a lot of blue stuff, but it wasn't intentional.  The "stuff" in question are things like the playmat (I got an ocean-themed one, so blue makes sense, right?) and a soother (again, ocean-themed).  And, at the end of the day I justify some of my decisions by saying that you can give a girl blue, but it's tough to give a boy pink without raising a few eyebrows.

I did all gender neutral stuff. There are a couple of blue or blue-ish green things on there but IMO those specific items are still gender neutral.

No. I generally dislike gender-stereotyped things, so there's no way I'd register for them.

I have a some classically "boy" colored items on my registry (lots of blue and green), but oh well. I like blue and I'm a girl.

We registered for all gender neutral stuff.  Some people have asked if we know we are having a boy because I guess some of it is more boyish.  Our carseat is light blue, but it's not overly boyish and I don't think carseat color matters.  My diaper bag is aqua & brown, which some people have also questioned, but I think it's pretty and it's just a bag.  I think it's normal for gender neutral stuff to look more boyish than girlish just because girls can wear all colors and most people don't put boys in pink & purple.

I registered for all neutral stuff...  our bedding is green/white polka dots and stripes.

We did neutral as well and will but a few gender specific items after the fact.

I didn't register for clothes at all.  I had a shower this past weekend and got lots of gender-neutral onesies, sleep gowns, etc.  As for the other "stuff" we registered for a gender-netural car seat, pack and play, high chair, etc. so that we can use the items for subsequent kids.
