Joe and I went to register today at Babies R Us. Angie and Elsa came along for moral support and advise which was definitely an added benefit for us! It is just a huge task and a big ordeal. There is all this pressure and details that you have to think about with every purchase of baby stuff that a wedding registry just did not have. The wedding one was fun, this one had its cute perks but other than that it was a lot of "what ratings did that brand have?, "were there any recalls on that crib?", "is that really necessary?", "check the book!"
We started the registry at 9:30 right when the store opened and got out of there 10 minutes before noon. Needless to say we were all wiped out! But we were successful in getting the registry about 90% done and we also bought the nursery furniture which was very exciting. http://www.toysrus.com/product/index.jsp?productId=3014526 is the link to our furniture. I was just hungry and tired by the time we left... The good thing about Babies R Us is that you can also add to and delete items via the website, so you don't have to keep going in. Part of the overwhelmingness (not a word probably) is that there are tons of products on the shelf in pretty packages and colors and that is what you look at first. The perk about online is you can have the ratings and can look through at your own speed. You also don't have to deal with all of the people. The store was getting really packed by the time we were leaving.
