Here are my registries, for those that care.

I noticed that a few people have been asking on other posts to see completed registries when they have them.  I'm a first timer, so my registry isn't perfect by any means, but it's been done for a while now so I figured I'd share.  I hope it helps those of you who were asking, and if anyone has any advice for me about mine, don't hesitate to share!

  • Just an FYI, I have spent a lot of time researching, and from lurking on the Nursery & Baby Gear board, you may want to reconsider just a couple of items: the Eddie Bauer travel system does not get very good reviews by baby bargains, and for that price, you may want to just look at a Graco; this goes for you crib as well, the Graco Lauren is very close to the style of crib you picked out and gets much better reviews than Stork Craft; and lastly, depending on how often you plan to use your breast pump, everyone swears by the Medela InStyle or the Freestyle, even though they are much more expensive, everyone claims they are worth it if you have to pump at work, if you are just pumping a little at home, then you are probably fine. I do want to say good job on the car seat bunting cover, most people pick the JJ Cole which voids the warranty on the carseat as it goes between the baby and the seat, the model you chose does not. You may want to get a copy of Baby Bargains, I plan to do this in a couple of weeks so we can start picking things out. Good Luck!

    Thanks for the advice!  I already have the crib, so I'm just gonna have to stick with it. 

    DH and I picked out that stroller in store.  Since then, I have heard a lot of things about it.  I do think it would be better to get a Graco one, but DH can't "find one he likes".  We fell in love with the look and ease of use of the Eddie Bauer one before doing any research, so now it's hard to convince ourselves to find a different one.  But, I know it would be safer, so we'll definitely find another one eventually.  I'm leaving the Eddie Bauer one on there until we find a new one.  IF someone happens to buy it before we take it off the registry, we'll just return it for the one we want once the time comes. 

    I will very very rarely be pumping.  I am a SAHM so will be breastfeeding 98% of the time and only pumping the other 2%.  I actually went to a breastfeeding class.  A lactation consultant sat down with me and discussed my needs and helped me pick out the pump, so I'm confident that it will do the job for me.

    I was very careful to pick the correct bunting cover.  As we'll be having LO in Germany, I know it will be cold for a while and we would need a cover.

     Thanks again for all the advice.  I'll try to convince DH to go stroller shopping again this weekend!
