I like to lurk on here, but, I wanted to jump in and say..Do you have the Baby Bargains Book?
It helped me tremendously.

I suggest reading the Baby Bargains books one section at a time because it can be a little overwhelming. I say tackle the big items first like stroller, carseat, etc and then go from there. Good luck and have fun!

i picked the big items first that i didn't feel i needed to see in person (pack n play, bouncer, high chair, etc.). then i used the registry list feature they have online to pick out the smaller stuff (blankets, etc.) i still haven't registered for a stroller because i want to check those out in person.

I've been doing it slowly with the help of Baby Bargains and this site since 18 wks. It is VERY overwhelming, but Baby Bargains def. helps.

This is exactly how I Went about it too! I did the big stuff first and then used their "quick registry" or "parent must have" lists (sorry, don't remeber what BRU calls it) and then did the stroller and bedding in person. Made the process MUCH easier! And of course I cross referenced their "hot registry items" list with what Baby Bargains says. Have fun!!!

Same here! Very overwhelming. I read Baby Baragins and lots of reviews on the BBRU site. Good luck!

Also go to the store and 'test drive' all the different things that you are thinking about. Try picking up the stroller folded and lifting it. Try taking the tray off of the high chair, raising it or lowering do all of that and also use the Baby Bargins book and what you are comfortable with.

I did the same thing. Put the registry online but have nothing on it except a Pack N Play. I have to pick up that baby bargins book at some point this weekend. DH and I are waiting until the "BIG sono" next week to put anything else on there. We want to know if we are dealing with pink or blue here

Tara you are not behind. My friend only started registering in her 7th month and never finished by her shower so her Mom had to run and do it when she sent out the shower invites and my friend was going to finish ther registery the day after her shower that's behind!

I will be 7 months next week, I am 26 weeks tomorrow, so I am not too behind. I started it online based on recommendations from friends and Phil and I are going to Sunday to Babies R Us to check out when I have on the registry and to add more stuff.
My SIL is organizing my shower and wants to send the invites out next week, that is why I am stressing.
