TTC and Beyond!

That funny waves! I work in Shelton, so right next to Ansonia!

Sarah- too cold for me too!! Before we bought our house I really pushed for a southern state. We had a sister lab in Orlando, Fl. But we knew we wanted kids pretty quick and nearly every single family member we have is in Milford (DH and I went to high school together) so it just wasn't really feasible! Turned out that our FL lab ended up closing and I got a supervisory promotion so it would be crazy for us to leave. We always have our countdown going though..."twenty years until year round sun"

Hahah I spent MUCH time in Shelton as well. My ex, who I was living with out there was in a band that practiced in Shelton and we were always there either for practice or just hanging out with friends

My friend that lives there recently (well a few months ago) was hit by a car and lost part of his leg. From what I heard it was big local news, so maybe you heard about that lol.

I heard it was a big story locally but obviously not living there I have no idea lol. I just googled it and apparently it was last January and I'm totally off on my time/dates lol. And they say he lives in Wilton but totally lives in Shelton. Oh well, no big deal.

Anyway... I've been to Shelton many times. There was a little diner there that I loved, just forget the name of it.


And for the few of you who offered advice re: my doctor/LOA, I called and left a message for my doctor and her nurse. Unfortunately my phone started totally spazzing out mid-call (I swear there's something in the latest iPhone update that makes the phones act up so you have to upgrade your phone to the newest one) so I think the receptionist hates me now lol. Oh well, hopefully my OB is understanding and I hear back soon-ish. I'm having mini panic attacks over my LOA possibly being denied, losing my insurance and not receiving STD & LTD lol. So uh... fingers crossed.

Nikki- I just saw the name thing in the other thread, that I forgot to subscribe to!! Haha!! Of course I don't mind!!! I love the name obviouslyyyy!!

I'm not really like that about name things-like our boy name is Jason "Jayce" and I had told my cousin that an he was all like we love Jayce, that's our boy name...and now acts like its a race to have a boy (they just had a little girl). Little does he know...if they have a boy and name him Jayce, and I have a boy after-ill still be naming him Jason and calling him Jayce. Lol too many people, not enough names for everyone's to be different! Doesn't bother me personally!

This totally reminded me that when you look up our registry on buy buy baby, there is another Kara Hyatt in Texas...and she registered for a little boy, named Jayce. LOL! Weird.

Around when do you make a registry? I feel ours is going to be pretty sparse - but do you guys know if there is a way to make a registry where people can check stuff if hey bought it but not from where I listed it? I mean, say we want a swing, but someone has a swing they will give us. Is there a registry where they can take the swing off the list themselves because they're going to give us one, but not buy one?

 

[Disneybaby26]

Hmmmm- I've never heard of anything like that Mirolee...what about like an amazon registry/wish list type thing? So people can see what you want? I just don't know how you'd know if people got you something so that you don't get duplicates without people tellin you the day they buy "hey, I got that".

If you're going to do one, you'd just have to make sure it's done before the shower invites go out. If no shower, I'd say done at least three months before the babe is due!

Why no registry? Maybe you could spread word of mouth that you'd just like gift cards if people are wanting to get the baby something? I think people really like buying baby stuff though and you've worked so hard for this! Let people spoil you and the baby if they'd like!!

To answer the first part of your question, I suggest making it within 3 months of your baby shower or due date. It's so tempting to make it early (I'm guilty of it as well) but working at Target/in retail, I see so many people trying to buy off of a baby registry but can't find half of the items because they've already gone clearance and sold out or we no longer carry it. At least at Target we cycle through seasons very, very fast so if you make your registry too early... half the items you want won't be carried by the time people start shopping for you. From experience and seeing people buying off registries all the time, everyone waits until the weekend of the baby shower to do their purchasing so, super last minute... you want to wait long enough to make sure your items will still be carried by the store.

Regarding the second question, I don't think so but I could be wrong.

I'll def have a registry, I just know that most things will come from ppl who have stuff they want to pass on- swings, bath tubs, walkers, clothes, etc. I already have a dresser and crib. We want a high end stroller. Of course we'll need stuff like baby soap and the booger sucker thing and the mirror like nicki was talking about. Meh , I'll let my sister worry about it. People can coordinate with her on what they are giving. I've got MONTHS to go, i guess I'm just excited...!!
