Register...CHECK

Well, we did it. We registered for baby stuff. I'll admit though, it was absolutely, 100% overwhelming. It got better once we got going but when we started we were completely lost. We kinda just stood there for a second laughing at ourselves because we really had NO idea what we were doing. We just happened to be in the feeding section so we decided to stat there. I will say that I honestly don't know how something so little can possibly need so much stuff but apparently they do :D. Between Babies R Us and Target I think we registered for like 150 different things and I'm sure there is still stuff that we left out. If you get a chance take a look at it and let me know if you see anything major we forgot.

If nothing else we had a lot of fun (at least I think we did :D). And this just takes us one step closer to being ready for Maddox's arrival!!

i just saw your registries...they look great! you guys did an awesome job. ok, a couple of things i would suggest. this is for you...but the breast pads that you registered for...i think i saw 2 brands...i would totally stick with the medela brand that you had on there. i just loved these b/c they weren't super heavy, and they didn't make creases in my bras that didn't have padding that could be seen through my tighter fitting shirts. so, don't save the $2 on a cheaper brand, b/c the medela ones are worth it. another thing...cailyn NEVER stayed wrapped in those little swaddling blankets. we had one, but we found that she did better in this one blanket we got at target...i will try and find a link with a picture of it for you and post it on here in another comment. you swaddle it yourself but it is bigger, and she can still be wrapped somewhat even NOW in the same blanket. ok, this comment is way too long already...haha. anyway, it all looked great...so glad you are having so much fun!

ok...here is a link to a blanket that is the same material. but...i really don't like pooh, and ours isn't a character blanket...it's got a design in the corner, but not a character. the girl ones typically have like flowers, and the boy ones might have like an airplane or something. i have seen them since we had cailyn, but i don't know if target has them still. it is completely worth looking. so, it's a thermal blanket...like long johns...haha. but, since the material is a bit stretchy, it is wonderful! ok...the link. http://www.target.com/Classic-Pooh-Thermal-Baby-Blanket/dp/B001NCLAIK/qid=1236725614/ref=br_1_13/192-5457672-7465758?ie=UTF8&node=10157851&frombrowse=1&pricerange=&index=tgt-mf-mv&field-browse=10157851&rank=pmrank&rh=&page=6 (you will probably just have to put that in your browser). hope this helps. :-)
