Questions & Answers

I agree with getting lots of receiving blankets! We have about 20 and use them up every few days!

Halo sleep sacks! I didnt register for enough....needed about 4 to 5. Swaddle Me blankets too...with velcro. Those are awesome.

I'm in Canada, and the only place that you can do a registry is at Babies R Us, which is 3 hrs away from where I live :( BUT, I would've died without my sons swing, and his chair (Fisherprice Infant-to-Toddler Rocker). Make sure you have lots of receiving blankets (I found myself wiping spit up with them often because they were always close by) size one diapers, like Bostonmama said- my son was 9lbs3oz and was in one NB diaper from the delivery room and went right to size one. He also loved his playmat (make sure it's one with toys that hang above baby's head that they can look up at them).
I bought a snugli, and used it once (thankfully, I'd bought it online for 5.00). Found it hurt my back. I also found the diaper genie was useless. Once the baby is into size 2-3 diapers, it doesn't take long to fill the genie up. This is just my opinon- thought I'd share :)

Okay....here is what I wish I did prior to giving birth...

Wish I would have done or gotten.....

1. A brazillian wax! Oh I hated shaving from weeks 35 and on!

2. Bought a crap load of size 1 diapers. These are the ones the baby has stayed in since the first week. They are 8-12 pounds....and our 8 week old is still at 11 pounds....so we will probably use size 1 diapers for a total of 12 weeks at this rate! We didnt stock up on size 1.....oh well!

3. Registered for an activity mat....ended up going out and buying one.

4. Picked up a baby carrier before baby was born....got a $100 dollar baby carrier for $8 bucks at a baby thrift shop....barely ever used!!

Thats all I can think of for now! :)
