I'm currently sitting in mine (at 3 am) with an almost 3 week old baby girl. This is my fourth child, and I can't tell you the number of hours I have rocked babies in this wonderful piece of furniture, often for middle-of-the-night feedings. I recommend getting a good one with thick padding, sturdy armrests, and a high back. It is so worth the investment!! I would probably say that my biggest two items for new-baby-survival is a glider and a Boppy. Good luck with your impending arrival!! :-)Karalinnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737461909811071495.post-9768369941498987462010-03-08T15:00:23.587-08:002010-03-08T15:00:23.587-08:00We have what used to be a microwave stand w/ a cha...We have what used to be a microwave stand w/ a changing pad on top.

Grab it, bleach it, use it.<br /><br />Best stroller for us was a very simple umbrella stroller...easy to use...easy to get in and out of the car...a lot easier to maneuver in crowded areas. <br /><br />take all this with a grain of salt...I hate giving parental advice. Do what you want and enjoy it.<br /><br />Timmy B.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737461909811071495.post-15390070200474095782010-03-04T06:31:12.690-08:002010-03-04T06:31:12.690-08:00This is really helpful!

Our approach to registering has just been to add anything and everything we like as we come across it, which is especially easy to do since we're registered on myregistry.com and they have a handy "add to registry" button that's right on your toolbar. But now we are in the sorting stage where we are trying to weed out the unnecessary items and narrow everything down. I will definitely keep these things in mind as we go through everything!Marlanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7737461909811071495.post-52711510015410193702010-03-04T04:54:00.766-08:002010-03-04T04:54:00.766-08:00Oh that book is the best!!!!

However, I found a perfectly good one for $15 at the thrift store when I was pregnant with Luke...that thing has come in HANDY! I'll be honest and tell you I have FOUR strollers. We got the travel system, the unbrella, a double stroller and a side to side double stroller...we only bought the umbrella stroller. All have come in handy, but they're not all nessecary. You can have my double one...we're just needing the single one now.<br /><br />If you want my diaper pail you can have it...they're right it's more annoying than anything. <br /><br />I have fully enjoyed my changing table, but with Miles we used an old cabinet that beloged in a 1950's kitchen. We we moved to the harbor and got a house with two stories it sure was nice to have a changing table up and down stairs...saves on back pain...but I'm married to a chiropractor so that helps ;-)<br /><br />I'll check your registery, but did you register for older kid items...sippy cups, spoons, bowls, (if you want to use a) potty chair? I totally didn't get anything for the older kid stage and wish I would have because I ended up with SO many 0-6 month clothes and nothing for when they were 12 to 24 months.<br /><br />Also, if you get so many clothes you can return them for things you will need. I've totally pared down my clothes for my boys. It's INSANE how many clothes we can collect! Phew..it's almost overwhelming and things should never control us ;-)<br /><br />Great post! It's not that long!!Testhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00694391500525349452noreply@blogger.com
