Creating Our Baby Registry
It's fair and hones to say that we were clueless initially when we
decided to create a baby registry. In excitement, and eager the have a
registry, for the sake of the people who asked, we created registries at
pottery barn kids, target, baby's r us, and the list goes on. We chose bibs,
colorful socks, lots of blue items, and lots of yellow items too.
Honestly, most of the items we had listed on our registry we chose
out of excitement of becoming parents, and what we assumed we would need. We
totally went overboard initially, and narrowed down gradually as sheepishly
came to our senses. However, before we narrowed down, we did what we had always
done best, to consult with our friends who had been through parenting, and
their suggestions compared to ours, was night, and day. We later learned
differences in the simple items such as glass bottle and plastic bottle, why
diapers would be our best-possessed item.
So, we settled for target and babies "r" us because of the quality of their
products, affordability, and convenience in close proximity to where we live.
Also, we centered more on the later as they offered price matching, 1 year
returns, mobile access, 15% discount, free shipping, and expert consultation
(free) as needed. Furthermore, we resulted to a lot of product reviews from
various website platforms, but the most handy advice came from new parents, in
the same age group as us, and of African decent. We don't want to sound too
ethnocentric, but culture is everything.
To date, we are so grateful for everyone who chipped in to support
us, either in buying the simple items or the highly priced items, because every
effort counts. Our parents and the Godparents to our babies bared the costs for
the highly priced items and we are forever grateful. Doing the math now, money
cannot replace the generosity, encouragement, and motivation as we planned to
become new parents.
We're getting somewhere with all of these posts, hang in there,
let's talk about the Baby Shower next.
Love,
Dennis & Lilian
