Justene and Kyle's Baby Registry

"Kyle and I are very excited for our birth to happen at Alma Midwifery. As a way to support both of us during this first time adventure my midwifery team has advised us to hire a doula who can provide one-on-one care so that I can be successful. If you have questions about what doulas do this website could be helpful: https://www.birthfirstdoulas.com/birth-doula-services/"

"I am not picky about brand as long as they do not have an excessive amount of chemicals. When I go back to work I am going to be primarily pumping and I'll need a quick way to keep my parts clean."

"There are several brands of these including the original silverette, I don’t have a personal preference as long as the metal is high quality to shield me from bra chafing (as my coworkers have warned me)."

"Apparently there is a lot of messiness during feeding, so a second cover means we can always have one on hand to switch out for clean!"

"Since it is going to be winter pretty soon after I give birth we want our baby to be warm while sleeping, a swaddle with thicker material will be helpful."

"This is just an example of some sort of bag to contain wet/dirty clothing/diaper when out and about so we can keep the mess contained."

"Any age range and any combination of day/night would be welcome."

"We'd like to have an outdoorsy child who enjoys joining us for hikes and fishing, but sometimes those tiny legs can't make it and need to be carried."

"The Pacific Northwest might be cold most of the year but that doesn't mean we have to stay inside if we can bundle!"

"Who knows when teething will start? But better to be prepared!"

"I can tell you why I dislike respiratory secretions, but I doubt any of you truly want to hear nursing inpatient stories. I will also accept the low tech version of this (but I will make Kyle use it)."

"Some sort of padded pieces for our poor old knees and elbows, as our kitchen sink is not ideal for baby baths and we will be practicing our mobility doing baths in the tub."

"Skin sensitivity runs strongly in the maternal line of my family, I'm hoping I don't pass it on but just in case I do I have heard great things about this brand and would enjoy trying anything from them to help maintain healthy skin."

"Our kitchen fridge is a smaller European sized model and we aren't sure we can fit all the breastmilk in it. A mini freezer in the nursery would be helpful in creating peace of mind for both easy access and knowing we have the space to safely store it."

"Easy to put on, easy to slip up for diaper changes, and lots of fun prints! This brand also has solid colors but if you happen to choose these then whatever floats your boat."

"I am hoping to become an expert at keeping tiny sharp nails trimmed but until then we can employ baby restraint mitts."

"With a due date of October we know the baby will be cold before they are warm. Whatever warm layers you can find in smaller sizes would be welcome to help keep our little one cozy."

"Some sort of cozy hat for winter, it's going to be several long cold months before our baby gets to enjoy warm sunshine."

"My coworker recommended this website for developmentally appropriate toys and activities, originally the sets were sold as a subscription service but now you can buy individual sets and also find a resale section on their website. Each kit comes with a book to guide parents on appropriate activities for age groups so Kyle and I will have guidance."

"I am currently a size medium as my ribcage is apparently expanding, which I did not know could flex like that."
