Re: wanna check out my registries?
Good call on the space saver high chair (wish we had that instead of a real high chair) and the Ultimate Crib Sheet (still use it). Also, we have that bath tub in blue - loved it.
The only thing I don't see that we used all the time is a bouncy seat.
Your crib bedding/nursery choices are so pretty!!!

I got a Boppy lounger that we loved- great for propping her up before she was strong enough to hold herself up. We liked that better than the Boppy pillow.
I'm going by pictures so forgive me if you do have one on there, but I found the activity gym/mats extremely helpful. We didn't get one until she was about 2 1/2 months and I really wish we would have one before then.
Also, I have tried both the Lansinoh breast pads and the Johnson & Johnson ones and I like the J&J ones way better. The Lansinoh ones are more like a maxi pad that you stick in your bra and the J&J ones are actual formed, firm cotton pads. They stay in place way better.
My only other suggestion is maybe check out some other swings that plug in- I heard that complaint a LOT from other moms with battery powered swings. Mine plugs in so I never have to worry about it dying in the middle of a much needed swing session, or going through hundreds of dollars in batteries. (Of course, I have that luxury even though my kid never took to the swing...)
You definitely want to add more hangers. I see you registered for 2 sets...we ended up needing over 70 hangers for all of Roberts clothes.
We got a Graco combo swing/bouncy seat like you registered for-it is great and plugs in!
I'd add larger size diapers. We got a ton of small diapers, but no big diapers.
I'd also add an extra cover for the Boppy. An extra cover is great to have.
Maybe add laundry detergent for baby too.
Also, I may have missed a diaper bag. We have a Vera Bradley one and I love it. Unfortunately it isn't a brand you can register for.
Another thing that I always thought was a waste of money was a video monitor, but let me tell you it gives me complete peace of mind being able to see him. Something you may want to consider though I know they can be pricey.
We actually don't have a BRU nearby, so that's all going to have to be online. The only other option we have is Wal-mart - booo. But I know with things like diapers, we can take those "back" to Wal-mart, unopened, and they'll give us store credit. Ours is very lax. Thanks on all the other recs!
Oh, and my mom is getting me a VB diaper bag. It's the plain one, in navy. I think I might also get the small travel diaper bag from Land's End, it is highly recommended by Baby Bargains.

The swing seat comes out and becomes a bouncer. At least I think this is the same thing you're talking about. It sits on the ground and baby can "bounce" back and forth in it?

Thanks for the breast pad info. I have no clue obviously, so DH and I are standing in front of all the "boob" stuff and he's just like "pick something already!" Lol! I told him it was better to be safe than sorry with the tata's. What about nipple protectors? Those rubbery insert things for sore nips? Yay, nay, personal preference?
The Sand in My Snow Boots
Yes! I didn't realize it was two in one.
