Hello friends! What a week it’s been here in the Perrin household!! From getting ready to launch my own capsule collection in just 2 short days, to making huge leaps forward with our house construction, to announcing that we’re expecting a baby BOY, life can’t get any better, or busier! LOL
This past week I also gave into a big craving: Cherries. I would eat half a bag of cherries, or about a cereal bowl full of cherries each day. Fast forward to yesterday and I go the worst abdominal pain OF MY LIFE. For two days. Today is day two and I could still barely walk. Yesterday I was barely able to breathe! It hurts that bad! I think baby boy has lots to do with this spontaneous fruit craving, and I’m already learning I need to take parental measures when he says he wants something. No matter how cute he is. 🙂
Meanwhile, on the side I recently started working on something very dear to my heart. I’ve been soo excited and slightly intimidated to create my very first baby registry! It’s crazy just how much you can learn, and also how fast, about what a baby needs from one baby registry!! Well, at least that was my experience. Walmart made everything so easy …
Right before I started, I might have had a little panic attack. I had NO idea what to expect going into my first baby registry. But I had faith that Walmart’s new Baby Registry would be easy and affordable – two things I needed.
Getting Started
The reality was not far from that, in fact, it was even better! Getting started was so easy. I logged into Walmart.com, clicked the blue tab on the left of the webpage and cursored over to Baby and then clicked Baby Registry. A cute little chatbox popped up “Hoo the Owl.” 🙂 I was asked when baby is expected to arrive and to share the gender, or not. The 3rd and last question was which nursery style do I like the most from an option of 4 styles. No worries what you choose here, as you can always make changes later.
Based on my 3 answers, my registry was created with 84 matched items for me! This made my day you guys!!! I would have no idea where to even begin otherwise! This way it was soo much easier!! I was able to either keep that item, change the item or delete the item. It gave me a head start, saved me a lot of headaches and I was having a lot of fun simply browsing and learning.
My baby registry started out with 84 matched items and after a lot of changing, deleting and keeping about half of what was originally matched, I still ended up with 86 items! I think that goes to say something. 🙂
I felt like everything I needed was there! Walmart did an awesome job at keeping everything categorized so you stay on track. Gosh, if this didn’t exist, I might have registered for clothes and diapers only! LOL
Below are my favorite categories and what I chose for my baby BOY 🙂
Health & Safety
I went for safe, clean products, organic fabrics where possible, and technology to know my baby is safe when sleeping. Can’t wait to use the baby monitors!
Diaper Duty
Walmart has the best diaper collection! So many great brands to choose from. I’m personally really looking forward to using the diaper pail trashcan!
Clothing & Accessories
Organic cotton onesies, pajamas, and more!!
Feeding Favorites
I love everything I was able to find. I can’t wait to use all of these!
Quality Gear
One of my favorite categories! I can’t wait to have baby use these items. I can see myself using this baby bouncer all the time!
For The Nursery
Saving the best for last! I love what I found for the nursery! Looking forward to many items from here. 🙂
You guys, I now feel one step closer to being more prepared for baby! Even though his nursery is still being framed, its going to look so good in the near future! Can’t wait to meet my baby boy 🙂
PS. Do any of you mama’s use/love some of these items? Would love to hear your thoughts! Comment below! 🙂
