babies' registries

many of our friends and family have been asking where we are registered. as new parents to be and the added element of having 3 babies at once, it has been an interesting task. so we did our best and ended up registering at Target, Babies R Us, and JCPenney (Thad wishes we could get it all from Goodwill or the Salvation Army - his favorite places to shop!). many of the items are online only, which i tried to avoid but it was difficult as i have been working on the registries online versus going to the stores themselves, which sounds extremely exhausting. i will keep the registries updated if we get items given to us or loaned to us that we no longer need to register for. we put diapers and wipes on the registry because we will certainly go through a lot. however, i just picked some that were recommended to me to put on the registry and i am in no way picky about what type of diapers we get. to be honest, i don't have a clue about diapers; my only thought is the cheaper the better!

we are EXTREMELY happy to accept and/or borrow used baby items. many friends and family members have already been offering lots of helpful baby items like clothing, cribs, and car seats, which we are truely grateful for. we cannot thank you enough.

we are also hoping to get some baby items at these upcoming events: there is a twins/triplets sale (sponsored by Mothers of Multiples) April 20 at Calvary Christian Reformed Church in Byron Center, where the two grandmas and i will be searching for some good deals. there is also a baby stuff sale at Third Reformed Church on April 21 . plus, it is almost time for garage sales!

Okay, I finally added your website to our favorites and won't have to ask you again. :) Thanks for taking the time to do this. It is interesting to read the comments you are receiving! We second, "aye, aye", echo much of what you have already heard. The car is packed and ready to deliver. Hopefully see you soon.
