Alora's Baby Registry

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"I love all things Christmas. Christmas is when I’m most happy and I can’t wait to have a little baby for the holiday"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Country baby"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Side table for my nursing chair. Gotta have that water and breast pump close by at night time"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"I figured it was time for a new nursing chair. My original that we got with Gideon is starting to rip in some places and I learned that lighter colors is not good for a nursing chair"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"A lamp for night time diaper changes. Andrew’s job of course"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"These are to hang pants and shorts on hangers to keep outfits together. Also if baby is a girl we will use these to hang bows. Fingers crossed"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Basic black to match. Each baby has had a color scheme. Gideon was white Eleanor was gold and this baby is black. Keeps organizing easy"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Hat for when baby is born"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Newborn hospital outfit. Gideon and Eleanor were early and both in preemie sizes"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Preemie hospital outfit. You never know what size baby will be"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Thankfully we were gifted a crib mattress but the outer casing had mold on it so we need a new cover for it."

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Best can ever. Way better than a diaper pail in my opinion."

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"The right size bags for the trash can"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"My preferred method of collecting milk. I have a breast pump just in case but I liked using this with Ellie much more."

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Loved these when breastfeeding Ellie. Great for catching any milk that runs down baby’s face so that it doesn’t run into the baby’s ear"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Great for holding milk for a day or two before bagging it all up"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Can never have too many burp cloths especially if baby has reflux"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"For after birth. It’ll be November and if it’s night time it may be chilly."

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Grippy socks for labor so if I choose to not wear shoes I’m not slipping around while walking around the birth center"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Pant set for going home if it’s nighttime or cold"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"My old slides have to be thrown away so it would be nice to have these to shower in or go home in if it’s warm outside"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"My old slippers had to be thrown away. Plus these will be good for walking around the birth center while in labor"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Shorts set for going home if it’s daytime and warm"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Labor gown. I may be getting in a tub and might not need it but you never know. Water birth is good for blood pressure"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"A splurge but I always have an oversupply of milk and our freezer is very tiny as is."

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Another splurge. Would just be easier for me than using gallon jugs. I could just easily press a button especially if I don’t have a free hand from holding baby"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Another splurge. I love ice cold water and our fridge doesn’t make ice so we buy ice very often from the gas station. This would save a bit of money when it comes to the ice department."

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Oil carrier for essential oils. I plan on using some in labor to help me through it and don’t want the oils breaking in transit."

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Labels. For smaller oil bottles"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Coconut oil is a great diluter for oils before skin contact."

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Roller balls. The coconut oil and diluted essential oil mixture will go in here with the labels of what it is so Andrew knows what to grab."

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Labor combs. Never tried before but excited to see how it helps me through a natural birth"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Just in case I get hot in labor."

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Ylang ylang is calming and helps lower blood pressure and helps focus"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Diffuser for oils. If my midwife has one this won’t be necessary for me to pack but will still be nice to have afterwards at home"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Jasmine strengthens contractions and offers emotional support"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Peppermint is cooling, energizing and offers nausea relief"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Clary sage encourages contractions and offers pain relief. A great one to use in early labor"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Frankincense is used for deep relaxation and grounding. Good for early labor and in the transitional phase right before baby comes"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Lavender is calming and reduces anxiety and stress. Will be great for me as I’m trying for a natural birth and might be jittery"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Disposable underwear and a diaper will be my best friends the first few days after birth. Colace as well"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"I’ve never tried a belly binder after birth but this is my third and I have a lot more flab and extra space now"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"I never use these for very long. Just until my body figures out the amount baby needs"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Honestly obsessed so stinking cute"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"My favorite for teething babies. Keeps the cold off of their hands"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Again a bomb pop how stinking adorable"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Babies love crinkle toys"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"I love Melissa and Doug toys for early on"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Gideon loved this toy. My sister stole it from us"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"I don’t like the normal play gyms that make a lot of noise and need batteries."

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Play mat to keep baby safe from hard floors"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"To keep baby safe from vicious toddlers"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Not necessary but so cute"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Again not necessary but cute and zero battery"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Breastmilk storage for the freezer. I like the lids so I have a flat surface to freeze the milk on"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Some bottle storage. We shouldn’t need a lot as I plan to breastfeed but it’s always good to have a bottle on hand in case something goes wrong"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"My favorite breastmilk bag storage for freezer"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"To hang diaper bag off the stroller"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"So that one of my toddlers can sit"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"My favorite. My mom had one and I loved it. It’s great for bumpy road which our road has lots of rocks and such on it and we like to go on walks"

Note from Alora and Andrew:

"Moby baby is my favorite wrap carrier"
