Hi friends! Our miracle baby is on her way and due within the next couple of weeks. My most asked question is “what is on your baby registry?” I finally created a baby registry when I was about 32 weeks pregnant, and I tried to keep most items to the necessities! I did not have a baby shower (truly I just have so much trauma from our prior 4 losses that I couldn’t bring myself to plan one), but somehow people still found a way to get to our private registry! So don’t hesitate to make one either way.
Creating a baby registry can be an overwhelming task, especially for first-time parents (I felt it!). With so many baby products available in the market, how do you know which ones are truly essential for your little one’s needs? Today I’m sharing all of the essentials to add to your baby registry checklist.
Where to Create A Baby Registry
To be honest, I almost didn’t create a baby registry. If you’ve followed my journey (and as mentioned above), you know I’ve suffered from 4 losses prior to this pregnancy and the idea of creating a wishlist truly scared me. However, by the time I hit 32 weeks, I felt ready! I decided to create a registry on Babylist.com, because you can register to ANY retailer you want (literally any). I also realized that creating a baby registry is a great way to ensure that you have everything you need for your little one. It allows you to keep track of the items you need, as well as the items you have already received.
What Is On My Baby Registry
Below is a list of everything I added to my personal baby registry. Feel free to use this as a guide, or register for the exact same products, if you’re expecting! Also, if you have any friends expecting, this can help guide you with potential gifts to buy. Honestly, all of my friends and family have stuck to the list and ordered us exactly what we wanted! Which has been so helpful.
