DH & I went to BuyBuyBaby yesterday to pick out the infant car seat & try on different wrap style carriers. Anyways, while adding these items to my already started registry, I noticed that there were items already purchased. There was even an item I never requested that was added, then purchased as well. So thoughtful! I came home, & was adding some other items to Amazon (I priceshop), I noticed More items purchased. This time, there's a link to a "thank you manger" that'll show me who purchased it. Curiosity got the better of me. Sigh..
I've decided that from now on, I think I will only check registry status (make sure there's enough unpurchased items) sporadically so I can really enjoy the baby shower.
For those with a baby registry, do you find yourself checking the status? Maybe to see what items were already purchased? Possibly to see who purchased them? Or do you like surprises too much? Feel free to comment on how you feel about this

Yes, I totally stalk my registry
Sort of, I was editing my registry and noticed some items were purchased
I don't have a baby registry
Re: Registery Stalking
I need to be more like you!! I'm always scrounging to pick up gifts I like off the registry. & that's possibly why I plan to update mine for other last minute shoppers like me

It lets me log into mine on the mobile registry app. It's been working fine... Weird!
I already had both showers and was really surprised by how little was purchased off the registries. Don't get me wrong, I now have lots of nice clothes, blankets and pacifiers, along with about 10 bottles of baby wash, but not much in the way of actual things I need and registered for. I used BabyList because I thought it was easier, but turns out most people didn't like it or take any time looking at it.
It took me by surprise because our wedding registry was heavily used, but I guess people would rather buy cute little clothes to sqee over at the shower than a changing pad. I get it, but I will definitely keep that in mind when my friends have baby showers in the future.

I also am having trouble with my target registry! I think it's because before I had a photo account too and somehow I think it's confusing them. I haven't tried on my desktop but it's very annoying and I'm thinking of complaining about it to them!
I also have three tubs of clothes and blankets from my sister in law so I have asked my family to please not buy more clothes and blankets; but they all just say to give the hand me downs back because they would prefer to buy clothes and blankets for the baby than other items. Don't get me wrong, I am thankful for everything we are receiving, but I can't help but feel frustrated that they are mainly getting items I already have.
Sorry for late response, but I got on using Safari on my iPad
