registry and stuff

For friends and family who've been asking, we're getting quite a few things loaned or given to us by friends. The things we need, in order of most to least:

1. If you'd like to chip in for a breast pump, that would be great. They run about $300)--a fairly nice one (Medela) has been recommended because my intention is to breast feed as long as possible and well after I go back to work.


2. We can also really use gift certificates from:
   Cotton Babies: http://www.cottonbabies.com/index.php?cPath=38 (we'll use cloth diapers but the doulas suggested we wait until he's born to see what he needs)


3. We are registered at: http://target.com for random stuff.


4. Gift certificates from Ebay: http://gift-certificates.ebay.com/ (lots of baby stuff, good prices and we've never had any problems buying on Ebay)

Stuff folks are loaning or giving us:

• Co-sleeper: http://www.babybungalow.com/arreaccosvar.html--the flap in front goes under your mattress, so the bed fits up snug. It turns into a playpen when you take the bassinet part out. We could use bedding for it.


• Graco car seat that works as a rear-facing seat up to 20lbs


• really good Graco stroller that allows you to attatch a car seat to it


• umbrella stroller--maybe


• pack-n-play


• a swing


• a crib toy that you attatch to his crib, it plays soft music and has fish that kind of float through water


• Snuggli type baby carrier and a sling


• Baby Bjorn


• tons of baby clothes, receiving blankets and miscellaneous stuff like that (bibs, etc)


• boppy pillow
