AunJelle's Baby Registry

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"This specific diaper cover has snaps that allow you really great ways to protect the umbilical cord until it’s ready to fall off, and diaper cover grows with baby, very expandable."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"College backpacks are bigger and can have more pockets than most diaper bags, with a lower price. This one is quilted and soft, water resistant, and green :) i like green"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Cloth diaper friendly diaper cream that will not damage or affect the absorption of the cloth diapers over time. This can also be used on bug bites, cuts, rashes, minor burns, etc."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Small bag for two to three used diapers for short outings, Sundays during the hours we're at church and coffee hour, and other events. Enchanted pattern preferred, others fine if out of stock :)"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"For reusable wipes on the go. Hazel green flower pattern is favorite but others are fine too"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Waterproof bag for used diapers while we're out"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"basket will hold liner for cloth diapers. Used diapers require some airflow to prevent bacteria growth and smelling. This basket with holes and a light lid is perfect!"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"liner for the laundry basket that will hold used diapers between washes. Liner is a great replacement for disposable plastic liners, and will last years and multiple children."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Reusable wipes made of natural organic cotton are gentle on babies' bodies, can be wet with a spray bottle to desired dampness for cleaning, and are endlessly reusable and washable. Asking for 2-3 dozen to last a few days between washes, and they will be used for many years and multiple children."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Well-made pins to keep cloth diapers in place. The website says set of pins are free when added to the cart with diapering supplies, and free diaper care instructions booklet, also must be added to the cart :D"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Alternative to diaper pins but I'd like to try both and see what works. Stretchy, holds diaper inserts in place under diaper covers, grows with child."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"This size Medium 18-28lbs and hopefully he will be potty training by this point. We will need maybe 6-10 covers (because they are reusable we will use maybe 1-2 a day. They come in really beautiful solid colors and patterns, we're happy with anything but no overly feminine patterns. Waterproof diaper covers go over the absorbent diaper inserts, have a double gusset to expertly prevent blowouts, and are wipeable to reuse a couple times before washing is needed. Endlessly reusable and much more friendly for the environment than disposables, even though they are made from fossil fuels. Will last for several children and help save thousands of disposables from the landfill."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"This size Small is 12-18lbs, so he'll be in these after he outgrows the newborn. We will need 6-10 covers (because they are reusable we will use maybe 1-2 a day. They come in really beautiful solid colors and patterns, we're happy with anything but no overly feminine patterns. Waterproof diaper covers go over the absorbent diaper inserts, have a double gusset to expertly prevent blowouts, and are wipeable to reuse a couple times before washing is needed. Endlessly reusable and much more friendly for the environment than disposables, even though they are made from fossil fuels. Will last for several children and help save thousands of disposables from the landfill."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"This size XS is newborn to 13 pounds, so he'll only wear these for a few short weeks. We will need maybe 6 covers (because they are reusable we will use maybe 1-2 a day. They come in really beautiful solid colors and patterns, we're happy with anything but no overly feminine patterns. Waterproof diaper covers go over the absorbent diaper inserts, have a double gusset to expertly prevent blowouts, and are wipeable to reuse a couple times before washing is needed. Endlessly reusable and much more friendly for the environment than disposables, even though they are made from fossil fuels. Will last for several children and help save thousands of disposables from the landfill."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Size medium (RED edge) works for babies 14-29lbs, so he'll be in these for a while. Eco-and-budget-friendly diaper inserts protect baby's skin from plastics and endocrine disruptors. Cloth diapers save thousands of disposable diapers from going to the landfill, which take hundreds of years to decompose. Asking for two to three dozen, this will last us a few days between washes and will be used for multiple children."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Disposable wipes to be used for times when the reusable ones will cause a headache (in the case of traveling, sickness, etc.) One big box will last us months depending on how often they are used."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Doublers are ultra-absorbent additions to cloth diapers for when you need the diaper to last longer than normal- Sunday church, a family outing, and can be used with any size cloth diaper inserts."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Small (yellow) size works the first few months of baby's life, and he will be ready for the next size at around 15lbs. Eco-and-budget-friendly diaper inserts protect baby's skin from plastics and endocrine disruptors. Cloth diapers save thousands of diapers from going to the landfill which take hundreds of years to decompose. Asking for two to three dozen: this will last us a few days between washes and will be used for multiple children."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"yellow/gold one with bells please I just couldn't find a picture :D"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"can be any sensory table, doesn't need to be expensive, I just clicked and added the first one I saw so I didn’t forget."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"This is such a great toy for open-ended play, imaginative play, vocabulary learning, colors, animals, and so many more things. A great safe toy recommended by speech therapists and OTs :)"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"This can be stuffed with the colorful scarves or socks or pom-poms for babies to practice picking the objects out."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Imaginative, open-ended toy for kids that is used to build motor skills, imaginative play, learning colors, and more."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Covers like these, any color, one or two. If you have one but don’t use it I’d love to try it out."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Wry comfortable breastfeeding pillow, if you can get it secondhand in good condition, do it! If new I like this pink one- thanks!"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"We don't have room for a freestanding high chair, this will be on the table in front of us as we eat as a family, safe on the sturdy wood."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Size XL 5.5" please"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"These are great for teething and introducing new flavors. I love to put broth in these."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"for restaurants and traveling when there is no high chair. not for everyday home use. Several available secondhand on FBM"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Size XL Busty"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"To keep my milk supply up ill be trying to pump often, especially if I'm ever way from the baby. Milk pumped on the go or while traveling can be added to this cold thermos to keep it cool. The thermos also can keep milk cool if baby needs to be bottle fed by someone else for any reason (date nights, visiting family etc)."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"medium size to be used after he outgrows the swaddle"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Second seat base for Blaine's car :)"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Infant car seat (doesn't expire for several years and can be used for the first 2-3 children) and stroller that converts to a 2 child stroller for years and years of use."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Please consider a gift card of any amount so I may pick a woven wrap from Oscha Slings, which is a Scottish company that makes wonderful, well made, small batches of baby carriers and other accessories. There are so many beautiful options which change every two weeks, so a gift card would be great for helping me pick one out. This is the company that makes the Lord of the Rings and the Hobbit themed wraps that are so epic and last for years."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"When the baby grows out of his infant seat, he'll need his child seat. These convertible ones will work for all the stages until he's several years old and too big for a child seat. Any color of the seat will be fine just please no pink. Thanks!"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Another carrier from a size-inclusive brand Hope&Plum that will be good for when the baby is very young. Ring slings are a great tool to avoid back pain as they dont have straps that can cause tension in the shoulders. The 84” carrrier will fit both of us but AunJelle is more likely to use this carrier. Code MIA10 by @plussizebabywearing will get you 10% off but usually they have better coupons on the website. If this color happens to be sold out, the plain green pattern called “Palm” or one of the other plain colors are great too! (just no pinks, please :)"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Hope and Plum is a size (and tall husband) inclusive brand that makes great carriers that Blaine and I can both use. We need the “long” size as extra strap length will accommodate us both. Use code MIA10 for 10% off by @plussizebabywearing on Instagram unless the website offers a better coupon (they usually do!) We will absolutely need this for church Saturdays and Sundays and for family outings, traveling, and doing chores around the apartment. Having a good carrier that will fit Blaine comfortably will make all the difference in sharing the load of parenting. Thank you :) (These carrier colors tend to sell out, so if this color isn't available, any solid color except the pinks will be just as good.)"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Unscented please- we are fragrance free household whenever possible :)"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Any cute hooded towels are great, secondhand, too. Just need a couple, maybe two or three."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"To accommodate the baby and his crib, AunJelle has to donate her bedside table and bookshelf on that side of the room (bye-bye lamp). This little mushroom light looks great for waking up at night, has red light setting to not disturb sleep cycle, and is small enough to sit on the ledge of the headboard, no table required. Also, it's a mushroom- how cute!"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"motion sensor warm toned lights for dark areas where tripping and falling is possible, one for the laundry closet which doesn't contain a light and is impossible to see inside without a portable or phone flashlight. We will be doing a lot more laundry after the baby is here."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"We don’t have room for a dresser or added furniture so these will store baby clothes, toys, sheets, blankets etc. I like the pockets on the side that can hold small things."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"0-3 months if baby is normal size. 3-6 likely needed if baby is gigantic like his father 😂 Just the gown needed, we don’t need the personalized towel. Eventually we want one of each size gown and can baptize all of our children in them."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"0-3 and 3-6 month sizes needed for nice church outfits. This wish is for 3-6 size!"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"0-3 and 3-6 month sizes needed, these look great for church. I'll make a different wish for each size. This one 0-3!"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"For making recovery baths and treating restless legs, sore muscles, swelling, etc."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"24 pack for $25- these will save my life. Asking for a few packs."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Electrolytes are vital for maintaining optimum hydration in postpartum and breastfeeding"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"This one is a selfish ask but a nice rocking chair would be loads of help for my physical health and recovery after birth. This one has a lower back heating function (vital for when shark week returns) and the massage function! 😮 This is going to be so helpful to battle tension and soreness and soothe chronic pain. The gentle gliding function will be vital for nervous system regulation and getting babies to sleep. It’s a well made chair that looks like it will last for several years (and multiple babies). Our apartment living room is too small for a couch. Right now we just have one armchair, and it’s not enough seating for both of us to use the living room. This chair would allow us to have family time together and get some sunlight from the window."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"We want to use the balcony for lots of playing, outdoor time, outdoor kitchen, and getting fresh air. However, all of the toys and tools will be dropped/thrown off the balcony if its not protected :D"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"An alarming amount of secondhand furniture, dishes made overseas, antique china, BABY TOYS and even baby bottles contain lead in the paints and glazes that could leave family members vulnerable to exposure and lead poisoning. I want to make sure everything I bring into my home is safe for us and new baby boy. Try cognition41 for a 41% discount on the test kit from the creator of this kit, whose mission is to end lead poisoning."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"We would absolutely appreciate any meals, protein shakes, desserts, or supportive food items that people are willing to bring, just let us know. Please remember AunJelle has a gluten allergy/celiac disease. If you’re making anything from scratch please keep cross contamination best practices in mind, and check every ingredient including spices and sauces. There are many hidden sources of gluten which can even be cutting boards, wooden utensils, or appliances where non-gluten-free food has been prepared. Feel absolutely free to reach out to AunJelle with any questions (806) 663-9300"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"We all had books that were our absolute favorite growing up, and it feels so special to share the love of that book or author with a new family. Please feel free to pass on any extra copies or grown-out-of books to us- we are so grateful and excited to read with our baby!"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"We all know that babies grow so fast and may only get to wear clothes a few times before they no longer fit. If you have any baby boy clothes you need to hand down, please consider us as recipients. He’ll probably be a big guy who grows fast too, so he likely won’t need any newborn size clothes and would probably jump right to 0-3 and quickly into 3-6 months. He’s going to be born in summer so any lightweight items are so appreciated. Cold weather items in 6-9 months will be needed later, so please keep us in mind if you’re cleaning out closets and drawers. Thanks eternally ❤️❤️❤️"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"$99 Kroger premium membership would allow for grocery delivery in this first year of baby. This would be a huge way to make sure we have what we need as a new little family. Going all the way to the grocery store can feel like climbing a mountain, and so can carrying all the groceries up the stairs to our apartment. Having access to the grocery delivery feature would be a life saver ❤️🙏🏼"
