Maybe an Amazon wish list? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woulddid-you-register-for-2#post-1644304 Mon, 19 May 2014 10:34:14 +0000 wonderstruck 1644304@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@cascademom: My family doesn't and DH's does, so I guess that's where the awkwardness comes from! I already told them no shower (yes, they wanted me to have one, even with two boys under the age of two. Eek! No.) But I think I'll take mrsjyw's advice and just say diapers when they ask what we need! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woulddid-you-register-for-2#post-1644303 Mon, 19 May 2014 10:34:05 +0000 bushelandapeck 1644303@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I have a wish list on Amazon that is private for now. I'll make it available to others if they ask for ideas, but we plan to buy everything we need ourselves for this one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woulddid-you-register-for-2#post-1644288 Mon, 19 May 2014 10:30:21 +0000 cascademom 1644288@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>When #2 happens, definitely not registering. My family doesn't do showers for second babies. My SIL had a baby shower for her second pregnancy-a girl (after twin boys). She was embarrassed to register and to have the shower in general. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woulddid-you-register-for-2#post-1644281 Mon, 19 May 2014 10:28:58 +0000 sorrycharlie 1644281@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@wonderstruck: Oh I'm not giving people the registries, I just want the completion discount if I need it ;)</p> <p>I hope to have the benefit of Christmas a month before my due date too! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woulddid-you-register-for-2#post-1644258 Mon, 19 May 2014 10:17:32 +0000 wonderstruck 1644258@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@mrsjyw: That is a great point, I should just tell people diapers! God knows we'll spend enough in diapers to buy everything else on our list several times over, haha. I don't know why that didn't occur to me, thank you! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woulddid-you-register-for-2#post-1644253 Mon, 19 May 2014 10:16:21 +0000 wonderstruck 1644253@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@sorrycharlie: Yeah, I guess I hadn't thought about the discounts! I just feel kinda weird about because all of these people just bought us stuff a year ago for our first baby, so I feel weird/gift-grabby registering for stuff...which I guess I'm really not, people are just asking what we need. My SIL is due with her second a month before me and registered, so they've been asking me about it but obviously I can just tell them if we're not going to.</p> <p>My parents already got us our double stroller, which was super nice of them, and we picked up the furniture for the room a couple of weeks ago. It's all smaller stuff left on the list...Boppy, humidifier, changing pad, diaper pail, etc. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woulddid-you-register-for-2#post-1644245 Mon, 19 May 2014 10:15:10 +0000 Sparkler 1644245@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I did create an Amazon registry, to get the 10% completion bonus for the few items I needed. I didn't tell anyone about it, but I would have if they asked! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woulddid-you-register-for-2#post-1644240 Mon, 19 May 2014 10:12:54 +0000 mrsjyw 1644240@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>If we had a DS#2, I'd just say one or two things that we felt we needed or diapers. We're pretty well stocked. And we'd buy ourselves the stuff we "want." There isn't much we need. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woulddid-you-register-for-2#post-1644211 Mon, 19 May 2014 10:01:54 +0000 sorrycharlie 1644211@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I am going to for the discounts just in case!! I'm not going to announce though. if anyone asks what we need, I have an amazon wishlist already I tell family about, so I'll probably just add to that. </p> <p>we really only need a carseat, stroller, and then if it's a boy, clothes, blankets and sheets. binkys, bra pads.. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/woulddid-you-register-for-2#post-1644207 Mon, 19 May 2014 10:00:32 +0000 wonderstruck 1644207@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I've had some relatives mention wanting to get us something for our son we're expecting in October, and asking what kind of stuff we still need. I hadn't planned on registering for anything because we already have one son and there's only going to be a 16 month age gap, so all of our baby stuff is still fairly new. There are some things we still need of course, stuff I don't want to re-use, need in both nurseries, didn't get the first time around but can now see how helpful it would have been, etc. </p> <p>Would you just give general suggestions to the people who ask, or put together a small registry to tell them about? </p>
