Registering for baby stuff & things I will buy myself?

Actually you don't want a year supply of diapers because depending on how fast you child grows or depending on how your child pees, will depend on what kind of diapers will work the best. My son was in Pamper Swaddlers to begin with, then we moved on to Huggies because he was leaking out the Pampers Swaddlers because they got to little on him, the Huggies were the regular ones and I only used them because I had over 400, then we moved to Luvs because they were cheaper, then the gel beads started coming out of them so we switched back to Pampers Cruisers and so far no leaks. I would suggest you get a just a few packs of diapers and then buy more as you go along. Also you should probably buy your breast pump because you want to check out different ones and see which one you might like the best. I guess if you get some gift cards at your shower you could use them to buy it. You can get the year supply of wipes but you might want to tell them to get the hypo allergenic ones in case you little one is sensitive to the dyes and perfumes that are in them. You should register for lotions/shampoos, rash creams, bottles and pacis. Those can be expensive too and getting them at a shower is awesome. Also book, the jumperoo you should register for too. The carseat, convertible crib need to be bought new, because getting one second hand you never know if it has been in an accident or how old it is and both of those have expiration dates. Also you would need to check to see if they have been recalled. So register and then if you don't get them, then buy how you want but always first register for all the big stuff and see what you get and what you don't. You will be surprised at what some people might buy you. Good luck and Congrats.
