Instead she laughed and justified it by saying my daughter will be spoiled...Awesome!</p> <p>My thought is registries are wish lists. Why not dream big? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57588 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:30:28 +0000 mrsjazz 57588@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: Agreed. My husband and I don't work in environments that come close to that kind of, for lack of a better word, immaturity, so I'm not at all worried about anything like that happening. </p> <p>Don't worry about the price of your car seat. I was worried about the price of some of the big ticket items (I have inexpensive to expensive items on the registry) but my mom told me to stop worrying about other people's wallets. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57565 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:08:46 +0000 Nskillet 57565@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Looch more power to you! That's way too much testosterone for me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57558 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:07:03 +0000 looch 57558@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Nskillet: ummm, finance guys. That's tame. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57553 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:05:33 +0000 Nskillet 57553@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch who cares what people think? What kinda men did you work with anyway animals? Not to sound rude but the fact that that type of behavior was permitted in your job disturbs me and is definitely not the norm.</p> <p>I was just criticized by my mother for the price of my baby car seat so maybe I'm sensitive but I say register for whatever you want / need! People have the choice to buy or not and I'm sure you'll fill in the gaps as needed! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57551 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 11:05:07 +0000 mrsjazz 57551@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@looch: No work showers for both of us. Plus, we both work with mostly women, so I don't think that will be a problem.</p> <p>I've used my registry as a place to put everything we need for the baby/childbirth, so although the majority is baby stuff, about 10% of it is for me postpartum. You're right if I need something I will just go and buy it, as with most of the stuff on the registry. I don't expect to get everything, so yeah, I'm waiting to see what people are going to purchase and then we'll buy what's left. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57542 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 10:58:06 +0000 jennylynn 57542@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't put anything personal on ours other than the breast pump. I'd be way too embarrassed if my in-laws got me nipple/butt cream or something like that! I plan on just buying myself that stuff, and letting everyone else buy for baby. But good for you for being comfortable with it! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57341 Tue, 24 Jan 2012 03:56:15 +0000 looch 57341@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Just something to think about...if you or your husband are working at a place that might give you a work shower, chances are they will find your registry and want to buy from there. I had an experience once where we had a shower for a male coworker and his wife. The guys were all over the registry and all the stuff concerning breastfeeding that was on it. They printed it and put it on the guy's office door and continued to make fun of him for it for weeks.</p> <p>I guess I don't understand the point of putting stuff on it for post-delivery, if you need a peri bottle, aren't you going to just go and buy it, rather than wait to see if someone buys it for you? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57181 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 20:03:02 +0000 cyndistar3 57181@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: No, my birth center didn't say anything about mesh panties either. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57177 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:57:44 +0000 mrsjazz 57177@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cyndistar3: Not a stupid question. Did your hospital give you/have you wear those mesh panties post-partum? A lot of hospitals do. My birth center suggests Depends instead because they don't provide the mesh panties (or pads for that matter).</p> <p>@MegWag: yay! I think I have the bottom spray on my registry, too. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57174 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:45:35 +0000 cyndistar3 57174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Okay this may be a stupid question byt what are the depends for? When I gave birth they had me wear pads for a few day as after but thats it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57172 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 19:42:49 +0000 tequiero21 57172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>you are! jk. haha. nothing weird on mine. i didn't even put nursing bras or anything. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57130 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 18:11:27 +0000 MegWag 57130@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I totally put nipple cream, breast soothers, Earth Mother's New Mama Bottom Spray, a pump, a peri bottle (they don't give them to you here), etc on mine!<br /> I see no reason to be precious about it, I'm pushing a baby out of my hoo-ha! That's gonna mean stuff needs soothing :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57108 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:37:16 +0000 Rubies 57108@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only put baby stuff on our registry. You go, girl! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57098 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:10:51 +0000 winniebee 57098@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm fully putting on breastfeeding stuff (pump, storage, nursing pads....) whatever! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57094 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 17:01:52 +0000 sunshine44 57094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Good for you! The only thing I put on were breast pads. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57084 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:44:24 +0000 mediagirl 57084@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HA! I wouldn't put something THAT personal out there but I am definitely registered for a breast pump! Those suckers are expensive!! I did not put anything too personal that goes along with pumping on there, though (like leak pads and such). </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57073 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:34:28 +0000 FancyGem 57073@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA I just put some stuff on there for breast feeding. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57070 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:32:37 +0000 skibobrown 57070@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I love that you're confident enough to put Depends on your registry! The most personal thing that I could stand putting on my registry was my breast pump -- and that's b/c I knew my mom wanted to buy it for me, so it was easiest to just register for it. DH and I have such an eclectic group of family and friends from very different walks of life, so I know already that there's going to be some serious judgement based on my (pretty tame) registry choices. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57045 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:05:45 +0000 BananaPancakes 57045@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@ustechie: I have one on mine, too. Every baby shower I've been to has had a pump on the registry, as well. I don't think that it's too uncommon. </p> <p>@mrsjazz: I would totally buy your depends for you. So worth it to see you open them at your shower! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57038 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:01:02 +0000 Pipers Mommy 57038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjazz: The funny thing is is I was more concerned with hearing from some of my judgmental aunts who like to share their opinions on BF. I just couldn't bear to deal with them. </p> <p>Totally agree though, people will buy what they want and skip over products that make them uncomfortable. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57037 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 16:00:51 +0000 mrsjazz 57037@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Damn. I really am the only weirdo. But hey if you're going to buy the baby diapers, why not buy some for mommy, too? :)</p> <p>@ustechie: Some would probably consider a breast pump as being personal. But it doesn't make you a weirdo like me. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57030 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:55:08 +0000 ustechie 57030@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I put a breast pump on my registry...does that count?? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57027 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:53:28 +0000 heffalump 57027@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Haha, I kept my registry to baby stuff. I don't mind when other people have personal stuff on their registry, but I just couldn't do it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57026 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:53:19 +0000 mrsjazz 57026@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Pipers Mommy: I was going to do the same thing. But then my boss and my mom said I should just put everything on there and if people don't want to buy it they won't. Now I'm kind of cringing at the thought of my dad or grandpa seeing those things on the registry. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57019 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:48:15 +0000 Pipers Mommy 57019@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I only registered for baby gear. Anything like nursing pads, breast pumps, milk storage, etc. I left off and used gift cards to purchase those items after my baby shower. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57013 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:43:13 +0000 chopsuey 57013@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>HAHA. I didn't really put any embarrassing items on my list--just some organic cotton nursing pads. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/do-you-really-have-depends-on-your-registry#post-57008 Mon, 23 Jan 2012 15:38:44 +0000 mrsjazz 57008@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I received that e-mail from one of my friends over the weekend as everyone is receiving their baby shower invitations.</p> <p>Yes, I do really have Depends on my registry. It's part of a post-labor care package basket I found on Amazon. I'm delivering at a birth center, so they don't have the mesh panties the hospital has and they have Depends on the list of things to pack.</p> <p>No shame in my game :) Does anyone one else have anything weird or uber personal on their registries? If so, what is it? (I can't be the only weirdo). </p>
