The World of Registries

Well, Chris and I braved the world of baby registries this past week! Babies R Us and Target were our stores of choice! Chris thoroughly enjoyed himself with the scan gun - I got to point to everything I wanted and he got to scan. However, I am not afraid to admit that creating our registry at Babies R Us was very overwhelming! 5 different brands of everything, different colors, different feels of materials, a range of prices, where do you even begin? At least we knew what colors we are doing in the nursery - greens, blue, and yellow - and we are putting Noah's Ark things in the nursery as well. After maneuvering through all the aisles at Babies R Us and scanning almost 180 items, Mommy called it a day!

However, Daddy had gotten a little "scanner happy" and suggested we go ahead and register at Target as well, especially since it was "just down the road!" Target was quite as overwhelming as Babies R Us, but there was still a LOT of baby stuff to look at and choose from! To say the least, our Target registry is much shorter than the other one, because Mommy got TIRED!

Shopping and doing our registries was definitely my favorite kind of shopping - FREE, but I'm definitely done for a while!
