Something Fun (Creating Gavin's Registry)

I have finally decided to do something fun for Gavin. I made a baby registry for him at Babies R Us and Amazon.com. I really only added clothing and a few other items because my husband and I went out and bought his car seat, stroller, and pack and play last week (YAY!) which is super exciting. We finally made our first purchases!

While I was looking online for clothing for the registry I realized how difficult it is to find clothing that snaps or zippers all of the way down the front. After talking with many parents of children with OI, the suggested getting clothing that you do not have to put over the baby's head or push their legs through as doing so can cause broken bones. So when searching for clothing for him, I had to be very mindful of clothing that I would have the easiest time putting on him. It was difficult, because most onesies and clothing in general are things that you put over the babies head, as most of the time you don't need to worry about such things as broken bones on your newborn/infant. 

Another thing that I needed to be mindful of was the fabric. Babies with OI many times have issues regulation their body temperature and get very sweaty very quickly so I needed to look for things that were cotton or another breathable fabric. 

I ended up finding a decent amount of workable clothing through Babies R Us and Amazon combined. Amazon has a ton of kimono style onesies which I think are adorable and snap all the way down the front. I put mostly just onesies, a few sleeper sacks I could find, and some sleepers. I know that Gavin's will be born in December which will most likely be very cold, so I'll have to get lots of blankets too!

I am so glad that I was able to put together a list of things to get for our little guy, its something I have been waiting so long to do and it makes me so happy to finally have done it!

Here's a link to the two registries in case anyone is interested in taking a peek at what I've decided would be good clothes for Gavin:
