One thing is a bouncer like this: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=12179655<br /><br />Sarah had one and it really was nice...oh, and then look at this thing called a Bumbo seat: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2324072<br /><br />Her friend let her borrow hers and it is a wonderful, wonderful thing. Or we thought it was and her friend had used it a lot! It is expensive, but Sarah really got the use and then Christen had a second child so it has been worth its money to her.<br /><br />Then Sarah had a jumperoo thing similar to this that Lorelei really used: http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=2508003<br /><br />The one thing with my kids was an infant swing...they both loved it...could have stayed in one forever. But Lorelei just did not and does not care much for swinging. She is the only child I have ever seen that doesn't just love swinging, but she gets motion sickness occasionally and we wonder if that is why.<br /><br />Well, that is a lot, and I can think of more but got to get ready to head to the doctor with hubby...he is going to get patches to test for allergies.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06832295732819342873noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-75722867393892665542012-07-29T21:56:37.173-04:002012-07-29T21:56:37.173-04:00not a big fan of registries to start with. i agre...not a big fan of registries to start with. i agree with getting larger size diapers and clothes and the basics like soap and baby wipes. Have lots of lower priced items too on the registry as some can't afford the higher end stuff. Lovely venue, baby showers have come along way!Evelynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18173048649291397174noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-51321151263516647052012-07-29T10:25:38.352-04:002012-07-29T10:25:38.352-04:00Ooohh what a nice place for a shower! :) As far as...Ooohh what a nice place for a shower! :) As far as registry goes, I agree make sure that she registers for 2 bases for the car seat. As far as diapers...having just had my 3rd child in 5 years, I would suggest not having a lot of newborn diapers. All 3 of mine wore size 1s from day 1. They were a little big for about a week or so, but then they fit just fine. I would say stock up on 2s and 3s, as with my experience those are the sizes babies stay in the longest. Also register for baby wipes as well! :)Rachelhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02245921501363936089noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-16011195733377575692012-07-29T09:13:39.618-04:002012-07-29T09:13:39.618-04:00I never registered for shower stuff, so not sure w...I never registered for shower stuff, so not sure what to suggest. I'd say no more newborn size unless she has a tiny baby... A "normal" sized baby won't be in them long. My girls were only 5lbs so I used them forever... <br /><br />What a blessing that she'll be receiving so much for her new baby! :)~Carla~https://www.blogger.com/profile/02341057469246030024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-53878938106544604132012-07-29T07:53:25.853-04:002012-07-29T07:53:25.853-04:00Babies R Us can be a nighmare!!!!

We have used the heck out of our baby swing at our home and DD's, now that the grands have outgrown it they put their baby dolls in it. When they sign up for a car seat make sure they buy and extra base of two for whatever cars they baby will be transported in. For some reason the car seat companies change the base out often its hard to get the right one laterDebbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17319991952705204675noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-84857902855121112552012-07-29T07:38:12.344-04:002012-07-29T07:38:12.344-04:00You mean babies don't come with instructions??...You mean babies don't come with instructions?????<br />Killing myself laughing at the thought of you and Zumba!!<br />Jane xJane and Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08102086552682194819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-35945983027516076452012-07-29T07:36:27.725-04:002012-07-29T07:36:27.725-04:00Nice buildings.

With babies growth rate it is nice to have larger clothing for when this happens, so I think.Cindy@NorthofWiartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00262513991016475701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-26588449664493610142012-07-29T07:31:26.612-04:002012-07-29T07:31:26.612-04:00When I was pregnant with Bossy and Sassy, it was o...When I was pregnant with Bossy and Sassy, it was overwhelming and exhausting to register. My suggestion is to do it in 2 or 3 sessions. Session 1 - Major stuff; Session 2 - Important stuff; Session 3 - Filler.<br /><br />Have fun!Mystihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17496508600320205581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-1151810455640117722012-07-29T06:11:16.818-04:002012-07-29T06:11:16.818-04:00We don't have a Toy "R" Us here, but...We don't have a Toy "R" Us here, but it sure is nice to have one location for a register. Baby showers sure arn't what they use to be. Small events at mom's house. When my granddaughters were born they didn't even fit in newborn size diapers, so skip that size go right to size 1.My own were in cloth and that was only two years ago.simplicityinthemakinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14492407981286638459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1605129043543619307.post-8854745355151484642012-07-29T05:24:01.080-04:002012-07-29T05:24:01.080-04:00That looks like a fantastic venue for the baby sho...That looks like a fantastic venue for the baby shower.Kaisievichttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12466159839339896483noreply@blogger.com
