Used probably but we'll find something to make sure Lil D is portable. Duct tape?? :o)<br /><br />Gina - tried your rubber band trick (Heather style using a hair thing) today. Tell your momma great suggestion! I'm wearing my favorite jeans. Woohoo! <br /><br />Looking forward to dresses this summer! Wish the weather would go ahead and warm up. <br /><br />Thanks for the other advice. All those warmers and stuff like that I have no clue about. I mean they seem like good ideas but 3/4 of them probably aren't used very often. Just trying to figure out which are the good ones! :o)Heatherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05789726625891129923noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018212279588407665.post-77704544386522372342010-03-01T12:16:47.320-05:002010-03-01T12:16:47.320-05:00on the pants: go with low rise and my mom said she...on the pants: go with low rise and my mom said she used to fasten them with a rubber band. find pants with elastic bands and as it gets a little warmer you can do more leggings and dresses that you can wear later but will be big and "flowy" enough to cover comfortably. on registering: register for more of the big stuff like crib (try for the one that grows with him unless you plan to have more an will need the crib later), high chair, car seats with extras for other cars, stroller, pump if you think you'll need it for work. i found diaper pails unnecessary if you can just take the regular trash out more often or take it out to the big trash can right away. electric bottle warmer is a no. never used it. had a wipe warmer, which was nice but not needed. i wouldn't bother with an actual changing table. before you know it you'll be changing them on the bed, the floor, the couch. get what you can from hand me downs and good will. most things like swings and bouncy chairs don't get used for very long before the babies are tired of them. do yourself a favor and refrain from too many noise making toys. and they go through a lot of clothes that they don't wear for too long but do get them messy. so until they get a little bigger, it doesn't pay to buy clothes new. if you use a pacifier, get several and have the clip that attaches to the clothes keeps you from losing them. get a diaper bag that doesn't look like one, that has lots of space and places to put stuff. i'm sure i could come up with tons more for you... but another time...reginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04933010780693739607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3018212279588407665.post-13624259719377714962010-02-28T19:17:41.238-05:002010-02-28T19:17:41.238-05:00Keep in mind that this is coming from a non-parent...Keep in mind that this is coming from a non-parent...I think a hiking, kid-carrying backpack is a MUST.
