Pregnant Chicken's Kick Ass Registry

Everything in my registry (for my fake baby, Flick of course) are things I thought I would need if I was starting from scratch again but with the knowledge I have now. Clearly the knowledge I have now dictates buying monkey hats and screwing the change table priorities, people.

I didn't register for a stroller because depending on where you live and how you want to use it really changes the kind you buy (if you even need one at all) so I left it off.

Baby Gear

Organic & Eco-Friendly Crib Mattress Protector

I can't tell you how lovely this sucker is.
It takes you from spit ups to toddler pees and it organic to boot.
A little pricey but when you factor in that you'll use it for years, it's worth every penny.
I expect to use this under my own ass when I'm in the old age home one day.

Fisher-Price Infant To Toddler Rocker, Bug Friends

This is similar to the one I had and I LOVED it. I liked that it rocked instead of bouncing AND it had a little vibration mode. Every person, young and old, should be issued one of these.

Graco Sweet Slumber Sound Machine, White

I think sound machines should be handed out with every baby. I like that this one hooks up to an iPod and doubles as a night light.

Angelcare Movement and Sound Monitor

Okay, this is the one I had and it went off when my husband picked up my son and forgot to turn it off and I nearly busted through the wall like the fucking Kool Aid man. That said, it certainly works and if you're paranoid about SIDS like I was, it may give you a little peace of mind.

Summer Infant Day & Night Handheld 1.8" Color Video Monitor

Summer Infant got a lot of thumbs up when I asked what monitors everyone liked on Facebook. I wish I had a monitor for all those "what was that" moments.

Crane 2.3 Gallon COOL Mist humidifier, White and Blue

I am like an old Jewish Bubbie when it comes to humidity and I swear up and down that my kids don't get as sick when their rooms are like an Amazon rain forest.

Transportation

ERGOBaby carrier Organic

I carried my two-and-a-half-year old son around on my back in one of these when I was 8 months pregnant with my second son. Pretty? Probably not, but it was surprisingly comfortable.

Graco SnugRide Infant Car Seat - Lotus

This seems to be a winner across the board when you look up car seats. I had this one and you'll get no complaints from me -- I thought it was great.

Clothes & Accessories

Mustache Pacifier

Okay, so I suppose you could make this yourself but why bother when you can purchase this kind of awesome.

Wool Monster Slippers by HandKnitHugs on Etsy

I don't think this requires a comment.

Tie One-Z by WeChooseJoy

Oh, because these aren't frickin' cute or anything.

aden & anais bamboo swaddler (3-pack)

I love the look of these and I like an adult version, please.

Organic Baby Blanket in SPRING ORCHARD by organicquiltcompany

Get a couple of really pretty blankets for when you don't want them in something ratty -- you know when grandma comes over.

Baby Loopies GI Joeys Organics

If I did it again, I wouldn't buy shoes for an infant -- you know, real shoes -- because they fall off and they are a pain in the ass to get on.

BabyLegs Leg Warmers

These are great for covering up that gap between boots and pants in cold weather, crawling and potty training.

Gerber - 5-Pack Flannel Receiving Blankets, Blue Bears

Get a billion of these. They work for wrapping them up, burp clothes, change pads, barf wipers, nursing tarps and sun shields.

Feeding

My Little Seat Portable High Chair

I mean, c'mon. How brilliant is this? My friend has one and it works like a charm.

Sprout Right _ Nutrition Tummy to Toddler

I got a baby food book as a shower gift and I loved it. This one takes it a few steps further and talks about nutrition during pregnancy, breastfeeding, choosing a formula, etc. I love it.

Medela Harmony Manual Breast Pump

I had a manual breast pump when I had my guys and it came in handy quite a bit. I'm sure it was chocked full of BPAs though so this bisphenol-free and WHO code compliant pump is probably a better option.

Baby Safe Feeder Starter Set

These things are fantastic. I even put ice cubes in it when my guys were teething. Just don't put banana in it (very gross).

SPOLING, Highchair with safety belt

I had this high chair and I loved it. Wipes up, folds up and the cover comes off and can go in the wash. Most importantly, it's cheap.

Bath Time

Summer Infant Fold N' Store Tub Time Bath Sling

I really liked my daphne bath chair but I had one of these and it worked pretty darn well at a fraction of the cost.

daphne bath seat

A friend bought me one of these and it was fantastic. It totally holds your little, wet ham in place while you wash them but they are free to splash around.

Diapering

Best Organic Bamboo Terry Baby Wipes.

Great idea on these wipes. Love 'em.

Organic Bamboo Cloth Diapers – Lil Helper Canada

I love these organic bamboo diapers from lilhelper. Diapers aside, you have to check out this site for the entertainment factor -- it's awesome.

Bummas Reusable Wipes - Bummas in Canada

You can never have enough small little wipe thingies when it comes to babies. These look pretty too.

maxwell designs change pads

If I had to do it again, I would just get one of these instead of a change table and clean dirty bums on the bed or on the floor. It's hard to roll off the floor.

Baby kicks 10 Pack Baby Wipes

When you consider how much wipes are over the long run, these are probably a steal.

California Baby Natural & Organic Calendula Cream

Honestly, this stuff is incredible. It must be made from fucking unicorn tears. I don't know what else to say.

Nursery & Decor

GULLIVER, Crib

If you go for a crib, I would skip the fancy shit and just get a nice clean, simple one. They aren't in it for that long.

Health & Safety

Nosefrida The Snotsucker Nasal Aspirator

This seems completely gross until you have a baby that can't breathe and then this is the best idea on the planet. Plus, it's made in Sweden and everybody knows that only good stuff comes from Sweden.

BornFree Clear Button Pacifiers 0-6m

Like many baby things, pacifiers are a personal choice but I love the ones that have a flat front so babies can't 'loop' their fingers in the ring and accidentally pull the soother out.

Natural Rubber Nutrasutten Ortho Pacifier (need 3)

Some people think these are dumb. I think those people should stick one of these in their mouth and shut the hell up. They are brilliant.

Toys & Books

Sophie the Giraffe - Natural Rubber Toy Sophie the Giraffe

This is becoming a baby staple fast. You better have one.

I am a Bunny

I would stuff this book up my nose if it would fit. It is lovely, yummy and sweet.

Boon Bath Goods Designer Toys

These are great once your baby gets a little older. They float, stick to the bathtub wall and they aren't full of crap.

Wood Baby Egg Shaker - Natural Baby Rattles in Canada

I don't know if a baby would like this but I'd like to carry it around in my pocket for calming caresses, impromptu street performances and as a self-defense projectile.

Organic Toy Strap for Baby Toys

This is so smart that I'd like to attach one to my belt loop and my car keys. Sexy janitor style!

WWF Store - A Giant Panda

I love the idea of adopting a bear as a baby gift.

The bird with moustache by sabahnur on Etsy

Would my baby need this? No. Do you want it? Oh, yes.

Mini-Lucky the Cat

It's the jaunty cap that kills me.
(There are all handmade in Peru.)

It Takes a Village (Help & Favors)

Kangu | Home

Fund a safe birth of a woman in a developing country.

Unicef - Birthing Kit to Safely Deliver 50 Babies

Help moms in the developing world by supplying a birthing kit that can help safely deliver 50 babies. 50 babies!

Plan Canada Gifts of Hope - Newborn checkup

This would sure work for me as a gift.

The Meal Stork - Send a Vegetable Lasagna

Are your friends and family far away? Have them send you a Lasagna, and pecan PIE!!

MealBaby | Registry Overview

Smart way to get yourself fed real nice like.

For the Parent(s)

Squatchi

Really great idea for measuring a baby's foot seeing as their feet grow like sea monkeys.

Bella Materna Anytime Nursing Maternity bra G to J cup

Okay, maybe it's weird to have a bra on your registry but these guys carry the BEST nursing bras ever. I actually called the lady that owns this store in a hysterical froth because I needed a nursing bra after I had my son and she sent my husband home with this. (God bless him for picking it up). It is the most comfortable thing ever.

Cash & Gift Certificates

Instagrad | College Saving Plan Registry - Best Way to Pay for CollegeInstagrad

Smart idea for a non-intrusive way for family and friends to save for your child's education.
