You aren't crazy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-registry-before-you-were-pregnant#post-77888 Sat, 18 Feb 2012 13:55:18 +0000 looch 77888@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think it's strange to start a registry if you're not pregnant, but to me a registry is a publically searchable list. A private wish list isn't a registry, so I don't think it's that strange.</p> <p>I don't research stuff to far in advance though, because when it comes time to actually make the purchase, who knows if the information is still valid. Would you buy a 2015 model year car on research you did in 2012? Maybe you would, but I wouldn't. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-registry-before-you-were-pregnant#post-77724 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 20:31:45 +0000 leelee 77724@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didnt start a registry while we were TTc but I definitely made a mental list of things that I wanted or that we would need. I didn't officially make a registry until I was 16 weeks. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-registry-before-you-were-pregnant#post-77711 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:56:16 +0000 hilsy85 77711@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I feel too nervous to buy anything or start researching anything baby related until after our first ob appointment. The only thing I bought was some face wash and sunscreen that is safe for pregnant women, since I need to start using it now. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-registry-before-you-were-pregnant#post-77708 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:45:02 +0000 mommytobee27 77708@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Before I got my BFP, I researched things and put them on my amazon wish list . </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-registry-before-you-were-pregnant#post-77699 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:34:48 +0000 Grace 77699@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When I read the headline and thought it was a public registry and that you were already amassing baby gear, I will admit that I thought you were crazy. But it's private, and your reasoning makes sense. ....and now I'm thinking of starting one! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-registry-before-you-were-pregnant#post-77697 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:22:55 +0000 BSB 77697@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm not pregnant yet so I guess this question applies to me. Yes, I have a BRU and a amazon wish list that only I can see.</p> <p>My reasons are the same as yours. I've done a lot of reading both on websites and from suggestion on HB that I don't want to forget all the great things to buy. I don't find any harm in it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-registry-before-you-were-pregnant#post-77694 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 19:17:03 +0000 oliviaoblivia 77694@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hi my name is Oliviaoblivia and I too am a member of the pre-pregnancy amazon private registry anonymous club.<br /> I started mine for all the same reasons. DH knows about it and fully supports the insanity. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-registry-before-you-were-pregnant#post-77690 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:58:22 +0000 joyjoy 77690@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Technically I didn't make a registry, but every time I heard someone talk about a baby item that was super amazing, I starred the post in my google reader or placed the item in my amazon shopping list to remember. When we found out we were pregnant, I compiled everything onto a spreadsheet so that it's all in one place when we finally go to register. </p> <p>So, no, I don't think you're crazy. If you are, then I am, too! :-) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-registry-before-you-were-pregnant#post-77679 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:36:54 +0000 littlebug 77679@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have one - it's called a Pinterest board! Ha ha. My friends keep asking me "Do you have an announcement to make?" because they're seeing all the baby stuff I'm pinning! So, no, not a real registry, but...kind of! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-registry-before-you-were-pregnant#post-77677 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 18:30:38 +0000 Andrea 77677@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>No, I have to say I did 0.0 research on baby stuff before getting pregnant. But you're not crazy, I would just think of it as bookmarking stuff for later ... </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-registry-before-you-were-pregnant#post-77645 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 17:33:46 +0000 abbydabbydoodlebug 77645@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MH.Abroad: I just thought about doing this the other day! I was really tempted to, but if DH ever found out, I think he would send me off to the loony bin. He already thinks I'm nuts for buying a onesie. So no, I don't have one. But I wish I could!</p> <p>(I don't think you're that crazy for having one. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-registry-before-you-were-pregnant#post-77637 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 17:05:17 +0000 LuLu Mom 77637@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I don't have one out of fear of jynxing oursleves &amp; this pregnancy. I do have a document with links saved in it for future reference for things I like. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-registry-before-you-were-pregnant#post-77590 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:12:35 +0000 heffalump 77590@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I waited until I was 12 weeks pregnant to start a registry because I was paranoid. I miscarried before so I was extra paranoid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/did-you-have-a-registry-before-you-were-pregnant#post-77587 Fri, 17 Feb 2012 16:11:05 +0000 MH.Abroad 77587@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Sometimes I feel like I'm kind of a crazy person, but I already have a private amazon registry, viewable only by me. </p> <p>The reasoning is so I can keep track of the great items and products I research, so I don't forget what I found and have to research all over again. I'll hopefully be needing all of these things in a year anyway, so why not keep track?</p> <p>Am I crazy? Has the baby fever reached a new level, or do/did you do this too? </p>
