ready, set, shop.

i've never been shy about my love for shopping, so creating a baby registry is something that i've been looking forward to with anticipated glee.  the research, the decisions, comparisons and final choices have been dancing like sugarplums in my pregnancy-addled mind, and so it wasn't until i began this enormous task that i realized exactly how overwhelming it is!

too many choices!!  tell me, little vegas, do you prefer to rock side-to-side or back and forth?  will you require a head cozy to keep your little neck straight and supported?  should i stock bottles if i intend to breastfeed?  and how many?  do you need a crib AND a bassinet?  do i need a diaper genie for cloth diapers?  and what exactly will that genie do?  how many diapers?  which car seat will best protect your precious body and lull you to sleep?  good lord, i didn't realize that the occasion to make the wrong choices for my child would begin so early!

so i figure i need some help, and if anyone out there has some personal experience or some "must-haves" then PLEASE, by all means, feel free to dispense with your advice or suggestions.  also, i've started a registry at babies r us, but if you know of a better place (for prices or choices) please let me know!
