At first I didn’t want to do a baby registry at all. Mostly because it feels SO WEIRD to me to be like “hey I need these expensive things, now purchase them for me. K thx!” However when I needed to put together a list of items to buy before she gets here it became pretty evident to me that a baby registry was a two birds one stone kinda thing. I get to keep track of what all is left, AND those who want to celebrate this beautiful new life with us also get to join in on the giving!
I decided to use Babylist because it let me add items from all over the web, instead of just picking from a set list of items some registries sell. Babylist also gives you options for adding cash funds or favors! We chose to go with the parental leave fund, since I will be taking 2 months off from work, but will be unpaid. There’s also a diaper fund option which is legit. There were great options such as a meal train, offers to do chores, and some other ones buuuuuut since we’re in Oklahoma and don’t have many people around up here I didn’t think those were feasible.
Feel free to take a peek. I’m sure there’s a lot of things that seem like they are missing, but we aren’t doing a nursery until we’ve moved later this summer/fall so decor and whatnot is on our back burners. I STRUGGLED with choosing the travel set, mostly because of car seat safety but also the colors of the babybjörn and the changing pad.. probably over thinking it.
