We just went to take a quick look at some stores today (BRU and BBB) and got some preliminary ideas, but we will not register at least for a few weeks, until after my anatomy scan at the end of June. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-184187 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 12:35:07 +0000 skibobrown 184187@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think we did it a little past the halfway point. We definitely already knew the gender, so it must have been 20-something weeks. I started researching stuff we wanted well before that though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-184094 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 09:54:11 +0000 autumnlove 184094@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MaisyMay: I should clarify, I registered at BRU and Amazon! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-184017 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 08:21:23 +0000 MamaMoose 184017@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started my pbkids registry around 14 weeks. We'll probably do BRU around 20 weeks (sadly we don't have BBB here and I find BRU has more selection in store than Target) we won't tell anyone about the registries until we have a shower though. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-184012 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 08:15:04 +0000 sorrycharlie 184012@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I signed up for Target online around 14 weeks (I couldn't wait anymore, and you can make it unsearchable/private). Then I went into the store to get my "welcome kit" of coupons, samples, etc.</p> <p>DH and I went into BRU to register around 16 weeks after we knew what we were having. I wanted him to help me pick out "the big things" but he had no interest really in registering, so I've done the rest on my own. </p> <p>We didn't tell anyone about the registries until recently, when my Mom was making the shower invites. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-184006 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 08:08:47 +0000 Cole 184006@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>We aren't even TTC yet and I have a private list on Amazon. I have been given a lot of hand-me-downs though and wanted to keep track of what I have versus what we will still need. If I were you I would start a private list now to gather ideas and such and then later start one in person and switch the Amazon list to public. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-184000 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 08:02:12 +0000 Rubies 184000@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't register for things until I was about 25 weeks pregnant - my bff forced me to because she was planning my baby shower and insisted that I hop to it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-183998 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 08:00:45 +0000 Mrs. Tricycle 183998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Totally had a private Amazon registry when we started TTC. Like others have said, it's a great place to remember things you've read about. And researching stuff for babies is waay too fun. I could sit and read stroller reviews for an hour. </p> <p>I'm not sure what I'll actually do for "real" registries. I don't have a BBB, and the BRU only carries like, 2 things on my Amazon registry in the actual store, so I don't know if it's worth it to do a second one where people could shop in person. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-183993 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 07:54:01 +0000 matador84 183993@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did BBB @ about 20 weeks. That store is awesome! They have a better selection than BRU, but I knew more people would do BRU, so I cross-referenced my list and did my BRu online so I could pull up both at the same time. I also registered at PBK. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-183983 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 07:43:14 +0000 chopsuey 183983@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I registered right away. At 7 weeks? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-183981 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 07:39:58 +0000 oliviaoblivia 183981@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have had a private Amazon registry since we started talking TTC. I like that I can organize all the random research I've been doing in advance of really having to register. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-183976 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 07:26:31 +0000 stargal 183976@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i registered at 2 place BRU nad amazon. i think i was around 18-20 weeks but didnt finish it until probably 22-24 weeks :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-183974 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 07:25:53 +0000 hellobeeboston 183974@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@JessLC: love BuyBuyBaby !! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-183969 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 07:17:03 +0000 SleepyMonkey 183969@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i started ours at around 14 or 15 weeks, i think. we just did buy buy baby because i absolutely loathed BRU when i had to go shop there for other people's baby registries. my experiences with BRU have been so overwhelming and disorganized, and for some reason BBB is just a calmer place to shop. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-183968 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 07:15:37 +0000 hellobeeboston 183968@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Im just past 20 weeks and haven't registered yet - although I am planning on going in the 2 weeks or so.</p> <p>I'm going to register at BuyBuyBaby and Target. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-183965 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 07:05:58 +0000 mrs. bird 183965@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a secret private wish list on amazon to keep track of cool stuff &amp; I'm not even pregnant yet! When the time comes we'll probably do BRU &amp; target, maybe amazon, but we did amazon for our wedding &amp; it got almost no love:( I think starting anytime after your first trimester would be fine, that way you have plenty of time to work on it &amp; edit before anyone sees it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-183950 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 06:12:16 +0000 mediagirl 183950@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started a private registry on Amazon at 15 weeks because I wanted to keep track of things I read about that I wanted. I opened it up at 20 weeks. I also had a BRU registry, wish I had done Buy Buy Baby, only two people bought from that store. Everyone else bought online. Amazon is a lot cheaper than those box stores, I've found. Everyone who came to my shower bought their gifts at least a week ahead of time. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/when-did-you-register-for-baby-stuff#post-183907 Sat, 09 Jun 2012 01:05:26 +0000 MaisyMay 183907@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@autumnlove: OK.

How many places did you register at? </p>
