Tips:
1. Do not be tempted to register for lots of bibs, washcloths, towels, onesies, clothes, plush, small toys, etc. You will receive TONS of these things at your shower. After your shower is over, take stock of what you were given & what you were not. Then go buy what you need (the things listed above are inexpensive...it is better to register for bigger things!)
2. You will get A LOT of diaper cream, Mylicon & Tylenol at your shower- do not return any of it! I promise you WILL use it all eventually and it is expensive!
