New Baby Bedding

Well, it turns out they have discontinued the bedding that we wanted. My wonderful sister has been looking to see if she could find it on Amazon or somewhere like that so that we can get exactly what we want. But last night when we went to register at Babies R Us, we found something similar that we really like. So, our new "theme" is Jungle Jingle.

I had seen this online and wasn't really crazy about it. But, when we saw it last night in the store we loved it. So, we went with it!

Registering is something that we have been dreading doing. Though we started out excited to register for our wedding 4 years ago, by the time we were done, we were frustrated and exhausted!!! So, we had kind of put off registering for the baby. So, last night, we bit the bullet and went to Babies R Us. It was actually kind of fun. I started the registry online a few weeks ago and went ahead and registered for the tedious things that I didn't really need to see, like baby gates and other safety items. So last night when we went, we got to pick out the fun stuff like crib sheets, strollers, bumbo chairs, etc. So it really wasn't that bad.

This weekend, my sister has graciously offered to help me finish our registry since I am completely clueless about bottles and a few other things. Much to my dismay, we will probably be registering at Target. After doing our bridal registry there, I swore I'd never register there again. They changed their return policy at least 3 times in the 5 months that we were registered with them. By the end of it all, you could only exchange something if you had a gift receipt (even if it was on your registry!) and you couldn't exchange it for store credit--you had to exchange it for an item right then in the same department as the item you were returning came from. SERIOUSLY?!?! But, things may have become easier now AND Target is just much easier (and cheaper) for our family and friends. So, I'll be registering for bottles and nursing items at Target, plus probably a few duplicate things from Babies R Us since it seems like Babies R Us is really out of the way for our families and friends in Tennessee.

Anyway, enough ranting about registering! We are greatful for any help we can get...whether it's on the registry or not! Like my sister says...if you're breast feeding, all you need when you have a baby is diapers. Everything else is negotiable!
