This week two good friends of mine and I were working on their Baby registry list. It is amazing how overwhelming it could be for a mom to get that list done, in particular if she is expecting her first child. For that reason, I decided to share with you a suggested basic list for your registry. Please consider that you may need to change the recommended sizes if your baby is preemie or bigger. Also some of the items will vary depending on the season when your little one will be born. Enjoy the amazing experience of getting everything ready for your baby. I am very excited for you.
God bless!
