Registries

So, I decided yesterday that I wanted to start our baby registries! Ahhh…I love it! It’s so much fun picking out baby stuff. I know I can’t add too much stuff yet because we won’t know the gender of Baby Reed for another 8 weeks or so. But, still, I just wanted to get started because I am overly inpatient (excited) and I thought if people didn’t have Christmas ideas for us they could just go check out the registry.

I decided I would register at both Wal-Mart and BabiesRUs. I picked Wal-Mart because everyone is near a Wal-Mart and mainly because there are no Targets in Clovis; which is where Chadders family is located. Besides, Wal-Mart is super economical and, surprisingly, they actually have really nice, cute stuff for babies. I mean Wal-Mart has all the name brands like: Fisher Price, Baby Einstein, Leap Frog; so I figure it can’t be that bad. I picked BabiesRUS because, well, duh. It has everything; all of their items are beyond adorable and really nice quality. Besides, it is nice for people to have a variety to choose from when getting a gift.

Well, creating my Wal-Mart registry went off without a hitch. I’ve already added a few (very few) items. The BabiesRUS registry has not been so user-friendly. In fact, our BabiesRUS registry is still not yet created. Something must be wrong with the website, because the website simply will not save any of my information. I have tried creating our registry about 4 times and nothing. The website will not save my information nor create my registry. I even called tech support and got no help. I was just told to try again. It’s really frustrating that a huge corporation, that probably gets a lot of sales through baby registries, would have a non-functioning website. At least I still have months to work on it, but that isn’t the point.
Oh well, if you get a chance go check out our registry at the Wal-Mart website…at least that one is working!
