Registering is going to be the death of me!! ugh, its sooo stressful and there are so many different thing I never thought of, and so many brands of different things and ahh, I'm going to have a panic attack... I'm trying to add some more to my lists but I don't know which is worse, doing it online or at the store! lol

    For me the online registry was great, mostly because I could read reviews.  Good luck!

    Agreed! I couldn't go to the store...it was too much for me! I just did a little at a time and stopped when I felt overwhelmed!

    I totally hear you. I'm pretty much clueless so I'm enlisting a bunch of people that I know who have kids to help me out. Plus, my MIL and mom are going to help me register. DH is clueless (worse than me) and is fine with us doing it!

    online has helped a lot for me as well.  i enjoy reading all the reviews.

    also, i would highly recommend baby bargains, it has been awesome to have!

    Do a little bit at a time.  I registered for things that "looked" good and then went home and did some research on the products (and checked my baby bargains book) to make sure that we are getting the best for our money.  I've since been three times to the store to check my registry and spend no more than an hour at a time.  Too much time at the store and you will go delirious!  Lol!

    I've decided a bajillion of the things they suggest you register for are completely unnecessary.  Of course this is my first child so what the hell do I know but still - I'm not going to buy crap until I need it, I've decided.  (I guess one benefit to having no shower is you don't end up with crap you don't need...)

    I hate the registry thing too. I've made a few purchases lately and now I think I need to go ahead and do the registry thing...but there is sooo much information, it's hard to choose! I'm glad I've purchased Baby Bargains!
