We are grateful, in these hard times, to have a roof over our heads. Before you purchase a gift for us, please consider a donation to Habitat for Humanity instead so that other families may have a home as well.

We found out on November 3rd that our baby is a GIRL! That said, please do not let that stop you from buying items in “boy” colours — we have even chosen many nursery pieces in blue to match our Wall•E theme!
We are also expecting a rather large baby, so we recommend NOT buying anything labelled as “newborn” and instead skipping straight to 3-6 months and higher.

- Things We Still NEED (links to registries are at the bottom of the page):
- breast milk storage freezer trays from Sensible Lines (Amazon Universal Wish List)
- tent for the crib (Amazon.com)
- bathtub (Babies’R'Us)
- bouncer (Think Geek)
- cradle swing (Amazon.com)
- Ergo baby carrier and Sleepy Wraps (Amazon.com Universal Wish List)
- Gift cards for IKEA (nursery furniture), Babies’R'Us, Target, and grocery stores (Albertson’s, Ralph’s, and Gelson’s) would be very useful.
- Homemade Items or Hand-Me-Downs:
- Mix CDs of music you think Squish should hear. Contribute to her musical education!
- Books you or someone else loved.
- Clothing, blankets, etc. Hand-crafted gifts are encouraged.
- Photo albums of family & friends, so we can show Squish pictures as we tell her about you.
Stroller/Car Seat:
We have chosen to go with Orbit Baby for our travel needs. While they are on the high end of the price bracket, they are an eco-friendly company that has excellent customer service. The stroller folds up with one move and the seat can be locked into four different directions instead of just two. ***UPDATE: We have been gifted the stroller system, thank you so very much!***
Nursery:
Our nursery is going to be themed after the Disney movie Wall•E. We have picked out furniture from IKEA, which you may contribute to by purchasing gift cards. We are also collecting various pieces of Wall•E memorabilia to decorate the room in addition to space/night sky themed stuff.
- Store Registries:
- Amazon.com Universal Wish List: Here you will find links to things that don’t have their own company registry, like the Milk Freezer Trays from Sensible Lines and the gorgeous Mad Scientist Alphabet Blocks.
- Amazon.com Baby Registry
- Right Start
- Babies’R'Us
- Motherwear: nursing clothing/gift certificates
- Think Geek
- We do not have a Target registry because their customer service in this area is dismal. However, we love their products and would absolutely use baby items and clothing purchased from them. Please do not purchase things for us at Wal-Mart, as we do not support their business practices.
