  PERFECT! I will definitely wait until then! I think it will give me plenty of time.

  Before you buy, check your library.  It's def not a book you need to own.

  Sorry, but I disagree.  I bought this book when I was 4 months pregnant to help with my registry and I just used it again today to research baby gates for my 6.5 month old.  Not to mention all the sections I highlighted and pages I folded over.

  I agree. There is so much information online these days. I liked the book but I don't think it's a must have.

  Honestly, I just got this book and found it to be "eh". The tips and brands they recommend are the same ones you see on other websites.

  I also feel they are way too down on some brands. PBK may not be a "bargain" but you can't tell me it's any worse than Land of Nod or Restoration Hardware.

  Which websites?

  OP, I used this book to help me narrow down my options.  I pretty much wanted middle of the road everying (not the budget category and not the most expensive either).  This helped narrow down my focus and saved me loads of time.  The biggest help was with furniture and car seats.  This book and amazon.com reviews made selecting items much easier.

  Lucie's List works well for me. Amazon reviews were also helpful. Stroller Traffic has a good registry guide (a bit on the expensive side but also has middle of the road items). Hellobee has registry and gear guides as well.

  Baby Bargains is definitely the most consolidated source of information, but the other websites I've listed were helpful as well.

  I thought the book was great to narrow down options.  I used a copy from my library.  Once I had things narrowed down to a few options, I used amazon and youtube reviews, and word of mouth to make final decisions.
