Date check: I'm 9 weeks 3 days pregnant as of today.
We received our first baby gear gifts yesterday! My sister in law gave us a ducky that indicates if bath water is too hot (very cool, since one of our bathrooms houses our ducky collection,) and my mom gave us a nice small "quick trip" diaper bag. Woo hoo! Maybe it's time to start thinking about clearing out the baby's room. Although truly, since we're not really planning to decorate it other than to hang a picture or two, it's not like we don't have plenty of time.
We're hoping to get as much stuff "used" as we can, including gifts, so the chances of getting anything that matches is pretty slim. We figure there's plenty of time to do a themed room once the kid is old enough to have an opinion. Still, I haven't been able to resist doing some registries. We're registered at Target and BabyCenter.com. I figure most of that same stuff can be found at consignment shops or on ebay anyway. What we really need are a bunch of cloth diapers/covers and a washer and dryer, but I haven't found anyplace to register for good cloth diapers, and I'm not about to be so rude as to register for a washer and dryer. Ah well.

it's so exciting to start to shop!
i was specifically banned from buying too much before the baby shower (Lois is way too restrained), which we won't register for until we know what we are having!
i think we are going to get the necessity stuff new, but it almost makes no sense to buy a lot of new stuff. We have a ton of baby consignment shops in the area, so we are planning on hitting them hard in a few months!
good luck!

And don't cheap out on the car seat.
I like
www.babycottonbottoms.com
for nappies and covers. The have a flat 3.50 shipping fee, and a registry.
I liked this site because they carry hemp nappies and wool covers plus the basic cotton prefolds. I really love the cotton colors nappies.
