AunJelle's Baby Registry

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Black color, green if that’s sold out :)"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Size 6 “olive dandelions” beautiful wrap and not as expensive as many other brands. Small Etsy shop for the win"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Safe and convertible car seat for when baby outgrows his infant seat. This one has great safety features. Love the no-rethread harness and headrest adjustments, and washable cover."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Safe place to put baby down for parents' quick showers and bathroom breaks, cooking and cleaning tasks."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

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

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:

"A gift card to my favorite diapering supplies company would help us fill in any gaps or diapering needs after we get started. We might find out we need more pre-folds or more absorbers, or just need different sizes as our baby grows. Please consider a gift card to help cover these needs :)"

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:

"Asking for any cloth diaper-friendly diaper cream that will not damage or affect the absorption of the cloth diapers over time. If this is unavailable, other brands are fine."

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:

"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:

"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! Replaces a diaper pail"

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:

"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:

"One Size-fits 6-35lbs babies, long lasting, and naturally prevents diaper rashes and irritation by ensuring only organic cotton materials are touching baby's most sensitive areas. Infinitely washable, reusable, and customizable to each child. Package of 6"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Medium prefolds for cloth diapering that will be used around ages 4-20 months. Asking for two to three dozen. That plus the rest on the list and the few already acquired from Facebook marketplace will cover cloth diapering for the whole time we’re using them, and can be used for years and multiple children."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Small (yellow stitching!) size works the first few months of baby's life after the newborn size, 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 a dozen: the whole registry stash, plus what I’ve already got from Facebook Marketplace, will be enough to last us a few days between washes and will be used for multiple children."

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:

"Very 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:

"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:

"To keep my milk supply up, I'll be trying to pump often, especially if I'm ever away 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:

"Can bring to my job so the baby has a safe place to sleep and also good for traveling so there is always a safe sleeping option."

"pants needed 3-6 mo"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Needed- a few footless zipper jumpsuits. Secondhand is great, anything you can find! 3-6 month, 6-9 month +"

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:

"Any and all sizes 0-12 months of footless zipper onesies wanted. We will live in these for a while, especially when it starts to get cold in the fall. Secondhand appreciated"

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:

"3-6 month sizes needed for nice church outfits."

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Better built than a stroller fan, misting capability for heavy summer heat, usb rechargeable"

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:

"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:

"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, secondhand is great. I just clicked and added the first one I saw so I didn’t forget."

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:

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"For sun drying the cloth diapers outside on the rack. Clips to ensure the diapers don’t yeet themselves off the balcony😅"

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:

"Sprayer to wet reusable baby wipes, for homemade laundry stain sprays, homemade orange peel vinegar cleaner, etc."

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:

"Asking for $99 for a year of Kroger Boost membership so we can get grocery delivery. With a newborn, going to the grocery store is overwhelming and feels like climbing a mountain, and so can getting all those groceries and the baby up to the second floor by myself, which takes several trips and is exhausting. The ability to have the groceries delivered to our door would ensure we can actually get what we need- food, baby items, and household things, instead of trying to *make it work* but in reality just suffering. (gift can be cash or a venmo @AunJelle-Irlbeck or a Zelle, reach out for number. Thank you sooooo much!)"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"Hobby Lobby gift card will allow me to buy a couple yard of their flannel fabric to make my own reusable wipes which get softer with use and washing, and maybe some baby decor for the baby's corner of our bedroom. HL has some adorable, inexpensive felt garlands that would be so fun to put above the crib :D"

Note from AunJelle and Blaine:

"I have hired a doula and a midwife for my unmedicated birth to help with coping strategies, movement, massage, encouragement, and medical help should the need arise. We would appreciate any help toward the fees for these two professionals as they help us safely and peacefully bring our new baby into the world."
