so for the sake of making things simple - i can explain some things here about the registry. for those of you totally uninterested ignore this post :)
stina asked about the big things for the baby - here is the deal. we have some bigger things listed (stroller, bedding, maybe that's it...) at Along Comes a Baby (a local store in bellingham - you can also see this registry online). (sidenote: what's great about along comes a baby is you can buy things there and have them shipped to the store for free and my mom or i can go pick them up there - nice for avoiding shipping costs. they also have some nicer things, which for a few items we wanted to put more money into). my sweet parents bought us a crib, which we ordered this weekend!! i love it. and i am over the moon thankful for the gift. when they told us that is what they wanted to get us i definately cried.
the pack-n-play i wanted neither store had - so i created a small registry on amazon.com.
oh and we have been given and collected some things already. the mosers graciously offered for us to borrow their infant car-seat, which is in great shape (thanks drew and bekah!!). we found a lovely rocking chair off of craigslist for free. way to go tim. and i am not planning on pumping or using formula or bottles if i can avoid it. but we do have a breastpump and a few bottles if necessary (again, thanks to bekah for giving me her never/barely/maybe-once-been-used, still in the box pump). and finally - we just don't have a lot of space and want to try to keep things simple.
but... i also didn't register for clothes, toys or books - i would love for people to pick these things out for us.
so that's the deal with the registry. i am also open for suggestions for additions or changes. i trust all of your opinions and would welcome any help.
