Okay, so I have set up a registry at Target. It was a very long, frustrating process. Let me first say this - I LOVE registries when I am purchasing a gift. It takes all the guess work out of getting a gift for someone. However, registering is a slightly different story. Picking out baby things is entirely different than registering for wedding things. When I was engaged, I had so much fun registering! But I already knew what I wanted. I knew I wanted stainless steel cookware; I knew I wanted simple, but elegant china; I knew I didn't care about having silver. But I know NOTHING about baby stuff. And there are so many choices! For someone who has the slight
tendency to
over analyze, this has been quite a process. After it took me forty-five minutes of online research just to choose a bouncer, I asked for Mitch's opinion and got the "you're thinking about this too much, Tonya" look. I had to laugh because I realized he was absolutely right. So did I choose a bouncer? Yes. Am I absolutely set on it? No. And I have the right to change my mind. Bless Mitch and his patience.

The problem with baby stuff is that what the baby industry tells you that you need is completely different from what you'll really use.
Do you have mom friends? Ask them what they love and what they never used. Also, yard sales are GREAT because people buy stuff and then never even take the tags off before their child outgrows it. That's how we got most of Asher's stuff.
