My Baby Registry

LifestylebyAnnaElizabeth-5923.jpg

Registering for a baby shower can be an exciting and totally overwhelming process in this journey to become a new Mom. Personally, it took me several weeks from start to finish to find a registry host I liked, research potential necessities, and curate my wishlist.

From must-have’s for the baby like a car seat, bassinet, clothing, and diapers, to new Momma essentials like an electric breast bump, glider, diaper bag, and carrier, the list of what to add to your baby registry can be daunting.

In addition to the items listed above (and countless others), there are of course many variations for each product to compare and decide between. For me, I made my decisions based on your feedback and reviews via Instagram and my own online digging.

As I curated my baby registry, I took price, efficiency, safety, and aesthetics into consideration. For Baby Hartman, we are leaning toward a light, neutral theme for his nursery and wardrobe to match our current style and personalities.

I used BabyList as my registry host because it is user-friendly (you simply install a browser extension to your “favorites” tab) and you can add items to your registry from ANY online shop. This means that you can add essentials from well-known department stores like Target and small businesses like my personal favorite, Cuddle + Kind.

As you can see from the quick graphic I put together below of my top picks, all of the items flow together seamlessly and have a calm, bright energy to them. I especially love the handmade llama mobile and can picture him now gazing up at it with a sleepy smile in the mornings.

With less than 14 weeks to go and my baby shower right around the corner, having my registry finalized so that I can add it onto the invites feels like a weight lifted off of my shoulders.

Since I have gotten so many questions surrounding this step since we announced my pregnancy, I wanted to share it with you here in the hopes that it will make your shopping experience a bit more stress-free!
