Baby Registry!

The reason I've been neglecting this blog for so long is ... I'm pregnant!  Yes, I went through a few months of not feeling well, and not feeling motivated to do much except lie on the couch.  Then I went through a phase of reading a bunch of those pregnancy books.

Then for the last several weeks, I've been researching and registering.  Since this is our first baby, I have a few generous friends and family members who have offered to host baby showers.  "Where are you registered?" seems to be about the third question, after "When are you due?" (8/25/12) and "Do you know if it's a boy or a girl?" (yes, girl!).  So I decided I needed to spend some time figuring out what to register for.  My husband and I are astounded by how much STUFF there is that a baby needs!  We think we are being fairly low-key with what we need, but still - it's a lot!

Of course, because I want to choose the best items for my baby, I've been reading hundreds of Amazon reviews, as well as the book Baby Bargains by Denise and Alan Fields, to help with my decisions.  So, instead of writing my own reviews on new products I've tried, I've been busy reading others' ideas instead!  Yesterday I finished (I think) the massive list of stuff to register for, and will be writing my own product reviews again soon.  I look forward to writing about some of the baby products we use.  Stay tuned...
