I have like 150 things across 2 baby registries. Am I done? Anybody wanna look them over and see if I forgot anything totally duh-worthy? I think I hit all the major categories and lots of price points. I didn't really do toys and clothes, besides a few jammies and a fleece snowsuit. I know those will get purchased anyway. Added things with major recos from friends including the My Brest Friend pillow, Rock n Play, a swing that plugs in or uses batteries, Tommee Tippee bottles... and took a gamble on Thirsties diapers because they seem the most cost effective. This is me. I would like to look because we are trying to be fairly minimalistic, and I have like 30 things on our registry (which is really just a tracking list for us/something to give MIL so any generosity can maybe be sent in an actually productive direction). However, that means I'm also paranoid that we're going to totally forget something we actually need, and maybe you have that thing!

I didn't create a registry; I've been editing a Wish List on Amazon. And it's mostly for my personal use, so it's never been given out. The people I know are not registry buyers either. I've been lucky enough to have some generous family and friends who are giving us the big things that they no longer need, and I've been picking up the rest in bits and pieces. All in all, I'd say I've gotten/will get about 50 items total (Hmmm... that number seems high to me) But I'm up for some registry stalking as well! We did already get a crib from a friend, and another friend has said she has a lot of things like the MBF pillow for me if we don't get them new as gifts. H's family goes crazy over registries. When we got engaged, the first questions from them were "when's the shower? where are you registering?" We had to beg his mom not to invite her whole group of like 8 friends who always co-host showers together because we couldn't fit them at the wedding. Still had 40 people at that shower, several of whom I'd never met. I think out of 3 registries, 200 or so things we only didn't get... 6?? My basement looks like a Macy's back stock room. Our family is big registry buyers too. We got all but I think 3-4 things off our registries when I was pregnant with DD. I made registries for BB2 just for the completion discounts and my mom and H's mom both insisted on buying us stuff off of them. I'm not going to complain!
