Figure out if the stroller can fit in your car before you buy it- Babies R Us should let you test it- they at least have them all available to push around the store. And ditto on the online registry- but if most people are going to a store to buy gifts make sure that there are things available in the store (all my bedding was only available online and it was hard for people to buy...).<BR/><BR/>I'll pray that he keeps kicking you, both me and a friend of mine who lost a baby prayed for very active second babies- it helps a lot (even when you pass the week that you lost last time).Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04096078023487193181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35306683.post-81539804179626283462007-12-18T10:28:00.000-08:002007-12-18T10:28:00.000-08:00Oh, the registry.

I can also put together a list of everything I have that you are more than welcome to borrow. A lot is actually on loan from Marisa, but I'm sure you'd be welcome to it until they decide to have another one.Hannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02187847066421596305noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35306683.post-48782448775340372862007-12-17T20:55:00.000-08:002007-12-17T20:55:00.000-08:00Enjoy the ballet.

I think you will use the pack and play more than the bassinet, but it has been so long for me I am not sure my advice is all that helpful.Laurahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412946899960151451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35306683.post-78843484206190272942007-12-16T20:54:00.000-08:002007-12-16T20:54:00.000-08:00And I forgot to mention April 19 is Ella's brithda...And I forgot to mention April 19 is Ella's brithday. I'm sure Sarah would love to share that day.

I can't figure out how to link to it in a comment but it is easy to find on Amazon. It gives reviews of brands, stores, etc. and recommends what not to buy. =).Joanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01100977729803403004noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35306683.post-17760784429821201642007-12-16T09:49:00.000-08:002007-12-16T09:49:00.000-08:00If you can borrow things until you decide, then do...If you can borrow things until you decide, then do it! I borrowed a portable bassinet with Judah to put in our room but never used it, but used it for 2.5 months with Abel.<BR/><BR/>I'm a *big* fan of online registration: the store is WAY too overwhelming. You can read reviews, find lists, and then publish the link on your blog so all your faithful blog readers can pick out what to get you or send advice (if you still want it).<BR/><BR/>Also, gift certificates are *really* helpful: lots of times you really don't know what to get until after you've had the little one for a bit.<BR/><BR/>Oh, and regarding the kicking (or lack thereof): I had a friend who had three very active pregnancies, but her fourth one, she barely felt the baby move. Turns out her placenta was in a different place that with the boys, so the baby was kicking into some serious cushioning. <BR/><BR/>I'm so excited for y'all!Aj Schwanzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09038745884456450797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35306683.post-42434607309682093802007-12-16T07:25:00.000-08:002007-12-16T07:25:00.000-08:00Good luck with the baby register.

I would hope they know something, since it is all they deal with! <BR/><BR/>Glad to hear you are doing well.
