When do you start thinking of baby registry?

angelenvy · July 2009

I know I'm WAY ahead of myself, but when do you start thinking and planning for your baby registry?

Just from shopping for other peoples registry's...I'm liking the selection at Babies R Us better than Buy Buy Baby.

Any thoughts?

My plan was after 20 weeks.

Stepheniedl · July 2009

I am going to find out the sex. So I'll start after I find out.

jillianjigs7 · July 2009

I'm going to wait until about 20 weeks or so to register. We aren't finding out the sex, BUT they will come out with so many new things within the next few months, so I want to wait it out. When you feel ready, might as well start looking.

After I found out the gender at 20 weeks last time...same plan this time.

I actually already started an online registry with BRU. As I'm finding things that I like, I'm adding them so I don't forget what they were! I figure I can always delete/edit later.

I think we waited until a few weeks after we'd checked out the baby's sex. I'd highly recommend the book Baby Bargains. I had a serious meltdown last time over having too many choices and not knowing what the heck was best or horrible etc. It has ratings and info - it's awesome!

I think about it every day. Around 20 weeks I will start one. BRU only.

20 weeks. We are still debating finding out gender (DH in favor, I am not) but I looked up a bunch of baby registry checklists to get an idea. I am doing mine on Amazon.

I'm thinking about it all the time, but we'll probably start a registry next month.

I have a couple 'private' wish lists that I started before we were TTC so I could find things I liked. Now I look once a week or so. My game plan sounds like most, after we find out the sex.

antosh2008 · July 2009

I've already started my registry. But I did it because I have relatives all over the country who are already shopping. I will add the gender specific items once we find out what we're having.

I do have to say that after reading the tips about registering on here, I will not add clothes or blankets to the registry. And I thought back to what I actually used with my DS and made sure to put those items on my registry.

Hope all these answers help.

I want to start one NOW - but I have been resisting. We haven't decided if we are going to find out the gender before delivery (he is in favor, I'm not) - we'll probably start the registry around 20 weeks.

I already have a written list of things I've seen so far that I like

hockeypirate · July 2009

We won't register until after the big u/s, but we've already started checking out things to buy and register for. I just bookmark things online. Since we're not telling anyone until next week after the first u/s, it's keeping my mind busy for the time-being. Plus, I'm a major planner

beckerella · July 2009

Hehehe- I actually already started a registry on Amazon and at Target.com because I already have relatives asking what they can get for us. I haven't told anyone but DH about the registries yet, though. Since we're gonna wait to find out the gender, that's not going to be an issue.

I like amazon because it has an attachment that allows you to add stuff from any website and have it all on one list.

I'm planning to start my registry after we find out the sex of the baby at 18 weeks.

I'm all about Bargains! Thanks for the recomendation Yes

I'm so up in the air about finding out the sex of the baby. It's a nice idea to have that big Surprise at the end of all this but the planner in me REALLY wants the babies room to be gender specific and I hate the idea of registering for all yellow, green & cream! lol

Bianca42 · July 2009

I don't need a whole lot, because I saved just about everything from DS. I also don't see myself having a second shower.

I did start a registry so that as I come across things I do need I can add them and have a list that I can access from anywhere. (I think it only has crib sheets and breathable bumper pads right now.)

pandagirl15 · July 2009

I plan to start mine before I have to go back to teaching in the fall. That way I have time to leisurely check things out and add or change things if I want.

merc1604 · July 2009

Thanks for the advice on the book! I look forward to doing my baby's registry! So exciting! Big Smile

eileenm21 · July 2009

I will probably start mine right after first tri ends, then add gender based stuff later. I told my mom (who is already talked about throwing me a shower) with the twins, if I could that I would like a shower earlier rather than later, just in case.

mmitche0 · July 2009

I'm anxious to start shopping too. So I will start as soon a sI find out what I'm having

MrsChowBella · July 2009

Like the other bumpie said, I am also planning to wait until the 20 week mark and we know the sex of the baby.
