Okay, so a lot of this stuff is either A) complete overkill, B) more a want than a need, or C) specific to our situation (like a new lightbulb for our aquarium, which is going in the nursery, or baby gates this early because OMG we have a lot of stairs and don't want to be caught without one...)
BUT
I have made up a list of all the things we want to buy now/register for, and all of the things we'll buy later if/when we need them. I know it is a long, long list but could the BTDT mommies give it a look through and let me know if I'm missing anything, or if anything seems like total overkill? Thanks girls!!
(Oh, and some of this stuff we already have, I just couldn't find a checkmark graphic in Word... LOL!)
