| SO cute! |
With my registry info on them of course...
Only one small problem though...
I hadn't registered yet!
My friend Jen and I fixed that this past Saturday though.
To get ready for registering I sent an email out to a handful of my mommy friends who have boys to get their advice on what I needed (and didn't need).
The response was amazing and overwhelming. 11 pages of emails later I was able to whittle the list down to around a mere 100 "must have" baby items, gah!
After hyperventilating just a little over where exactly all this baby goodness was going to go in our little house I got excited to shop!
We went to Babies R Us since it's local to us. We zapped and talked and himmed and hawed and ended up with a registry of about 90 items. Phew!
Her little man was with us too, he's just the cutest. He calls me "Kiku" and I will never ever correct him because I love my Auntie Kiku nickname picked specially for me all by his 2 year old self.
I am so thankful for friends like Jen. We've known each other since we were kids, grew up riding together, stayed friends throughout all of life. She's a constant, tried and true. And she's a great mom to her little boy. It meant the world to me to have her there helping me and guiding me as I navigated all the choices.
Overall I'm pleased with the selection and BRU, but many items felt generic. I ended up doing a registry at Buybuy Baby as well to capture the cute factor. Their selection of things like Aiden and Anais and other more 'designery' brands is more my style. Here's a few of my fave registry picks!
Halo bassinet
Graco SnugRide 40 
New Ergo baby carrier
City Select Jogger
