But then they may have a GREAT idea/deal in mind but feel limited by what you registered for. And seasoned mothers may think of things that you'd really love. I dunno. Good luck.<br />(And right I was about to hit enter I read Cami's comment. Smart girl!

That way, if someone gets you a crib from a yard sale or whatever, they can still check it off your list. I'd do at least that, just to help out the people who want to help you. I hope that rambling made sense.Darlenehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14925919057995300361noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701853620863142667.post-54465355252445718042009-06-03T21:45:21.657-06:002009-06-03T21:45:21.657-06:00I would say register.

Or a gift card to help get those expensive items.

Off my registry I did get my crib bedding and a bassinet later on--both of which I wasn't expecting--so you never know.Katiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04937518454454887367noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701853620863142667.post-43098309854022266072009-06-03T20:08:39.420-06:002009-06-03T20:08:39.420-06:00I would suggest NOT registering but having a coupl...I would suggest NOT registering but having a couple things in mind that you need/want so you can tell people when they ask.

I will be expecting to know where you register ;) Also if you register at Babies R Us they will send you a 10% off coupon around the time of your due date so I think it is worth it just for that! Even if you don't get very many things off of your registry you at least get 10% off everything that you want to get!Austin and Jenniferhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07285301874742050695noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3701853620863142667.post-68034430879333872232009-06-03T19:13:04.420-06:002009-06-03T19:13:04.420-06:00Well, I personally think registering is fun, but I...Well, I personally think registering is fun, but I found that most people bought clothes because that's fun. Most of the other stuff we bought. It's just too hard to pass up a cute outfit in exchange for bottle brushes.
