Registering for Baby #2

August 23, 2016 By Jessica Beer Leave a Comment

As of this week, I am officially less than 10 weeks away from my due date with this little girl. It’s almost crunch time, and we really need to make sure we get everything ready to go for this new little life that’s about to join us… and clean out her room, which big sister vacated just last weekend.

Registering the Second Time Around

I remember this point in my pregnancy with Abbie – I was about to have my baby shower. No one but our immediate family knew Abbie was a girl until I revealed it at my shower, and I spent those weeks leading up to it making sure everything I thought I’d need was on that baby registry, and adding things I thought of as it got closer. I did so much research, and my registry really was incredibly practical, without a lot of frills. In fact, one of the reasons I didn’t reveal Abbie was a girl until my shower was because I’m practical to a fault when it comes to having a baby, and knew I’d rather have the gear I actually needed than all the outfits I knew a little girl would prompt.

Registering for Baby Two

Which brings me to today, 30 weeks pregnant with our second little girl, and my registry this time? It looks very different. I debated even creating a registry this time around, to be honest. We already have all the big things – crib, rocker, car seat, bouncer, etc. We cloth diaper, so we’ll only be using disposables for about a month before we bring those out. We’re also having a second girl in a similar season, so all of Abbie’s hand-me-downs should work. Why create a registry at all? Then I remembered – all the things I used up – and the completion discounts.

Registering for Baby Two

So while my registry doesn’t have too much of the typical this time around, it has necessities and the fun little extras. The Mother’s Milk Tea I know I’ll be gulping down to get my supply up while I learn to nurse again – along with all the supplements I took last time, the nursing pads, the nipple cream I loved, and countless bags to put any pumped milk into. A video monitor, since we didn’t have one with Abbie, and I know I would have loved to have it when we sleep trained her. There’s a random selection of pacifiers (because who knows where all of those went) and new nipples for the bottles I still have to locate. A new playmat, some cloth diapering supplies, and some extra hooded towels round out the list.

And if no one buys a single thing from that list? I’m totally fine with that. I’ve realized that it’s more of a registry for Chris and I – a place to keep track of all the things we want to buy for our little girl. It’s not for anyone else, really. And that completion discount? It’s totally calling my name.

Registering for Baby #2. What you really need!

About Jessica Beer

Hi there! I'm Jess. I'm wife to Chris and mom to Abbie (3) and our newest little one, due late October! I'm a working mom in the DC metro area, and I firmly believe that each mom should have the choice to do what's best for her and her family. I love coffee (what mom doesn't?), college football (Let's Go Hokies!), and have never met a stranger. Giving perfect gifts is my love language, but I'm terrible at receiving them. I strive to write about every piece of my life and motherhood - from the highlights to the challenges. We're all in this motherhood thing together, and I'm so excited to be here and get to know you!

Instagram post 17864637601827512 This is what happens on day number 3,568,743 of quarantine: ice cream sundaes for DINNER. We have been spending endless time together and decided it was time to start a new family tradition, so we picked up the new DIY Sundae Kit from @baskinrobbins! The kit comes with 2 pre-packed quarts of ice cream, 3 toppings, an entire can of whipped cream and cherries! Ice
cream for dinner will now be a weekly staple. The kids are definitely not complaining! It’s a fun day with a Sundae! 
Comment below and tell me your favorite Baskin Robbins flavor!

Instagram post 17850899390014309 Disney is challenging us to share our first pictures with characters! I had to join in the fun and it was the best trip down memory lane. Disney has been threaded throughout my entire life. I pulled a few of my most favorite memories over the years. From partying in the streets during the most epic dance party and meeting our most favorite princesses to me being a kid at Disney myself. Oh, I also had to add a picture of Cinderella’s Castle. She really is the most beautiful cast member of them all! 
@waltdisneyworld we miss you more and more each day. You’ve brought us joy beyond words and we cannot wait for the day when we get to walk down Main Street USA again! 
Ok, now it’s your turn. Find your old photos of your favorite Disney characters and share the magic. Also, don’t forget to tag me. I want to see all your memories too! 
@pixiemousemichelle @ericaligenza and @prettyprovidenceblog it’s time to share yours!#disneymagicmoments #myfirstdisneycharacter #disneycreators #disneyfamily #disneykuds #disneyworld
