Actually I just went through my sons stuff tonight, he just turned 1 and between swaddle blankets, blankets in general and receiving blankets I had 11 unopened ones that I will be taking to a consignment shop this week to try and sell/trade.
My son wasn't swaddled/burrito wrapped past 6 weeks.
I'm registered for 1 or 2, I think.. but I'm planning on using regular blankets for this purpose if I don't receive them. I've got a coupon for the Halo Sleep sack and I plan on getting it if I have any gift card money. I don't know if LO will like a swaddle so I'll wait & see for awhile, depending on what I get @ baby shower.

I already have 1 swaddleme and my mom bought me another three pack. I registered for a bunch of sleepsacks though because its the only thing he's allowed to use at daycare in the crib. So I registered for two in each size.
I didn't register for any... and we didn't get any!
But, I went to Babies R Us last weekend and got five (for our twins). If we like them, and need more, I'll go back and get more. They were running a special, "buy 3, get 20% off" -- so we bought one 3-pack of neutral colors, one in a pink tone and one in a blue tone.
On my registry I have one swaddleme blanket (large) and one sleep sack (small).
I already purchased a small swaddleme blanket I found on clearance and my mom made me a 3 larger sized sleep sacks.
I have purchased about 5 swaddle/recieving blankets on sale and have no more on my registry. Though I think I have a few cute patterned fleece blankets.
I figured the blankets are handy to have to lay the baby on and burp the baby with/wipe up spit up if a actual burp pad isn't handy and cover the baby with. So when I find them on sale and cute I by them.... plus I have a slight shopping addiction

Dear God, Since I couldn't hold my little one in my lap and tell him about you, could you hold him in your lap and tell him about me?
none. I used regular receiving blankets with DS, and will again--they worked just fine. The ones we got from the hospital were our favorites for swaddling.
