So we decided to work on the registry today. We went into babies r us and went through the setup process. I was overwhelmed before I got there, and still felt that way by the end. Thankfully when you sign up for a registry they give you a list of essentials that you should be putting on there. That helps a little. We already had a stroller picked out, so that was one thing down. Our goal for today was to pick out a crib that we both liked and that had a good finish on it that wasn't going to chip off. We spent most of our time comparing different ones and finally agreed on one. It didn't come in a cherry finish like we wanted but a close second in espresso. So at least that's done. I wish we had the money right now to buy it b/c all furniture is on sale for 20% off. But good news is we got the rewards card so anything we do buy there we will be earning poins and that will give us savings. Other then the crib we got a play yard on there that we LOVE. Monkeys! And plays music, and you can plug a MP3 player into it so you can play anything.
So we didn't end up getting too far on the registry b/c I just had to get sick and have to leave. But the big things are on there at least and I feel good about that. It was also hard to decide on things when we don't know if we're having a boy or girl. I'm definately taking the day off of work when we have the ultrasound done and then we can go and add a lot more.
We have recieved a few gifts so far and it's great. We have some diapers, a box of neutral clothes, Gary's baby blanket, a homemade blanket from my Gram, and a beautiful white blanket. I'm starting to feel like we're getting somewhere. We also have decided to stay in our apartment for now. If the price of the larger ones goes down, we'll then pay the fee to move. But as of right now the larger apartments are $200 more a month then what we're paying now.
