Registries and Showers
Let me remind you that I do Not like to be the center of attention, huh? My mom tells me that as kids my brother and I were polar opposites (like we're any more similar now than we were then, right?) and he'd pull his toys out to the center of the crowd to play and i'd be off in our playroom sitting quietly with my halo on playing with my toys. Ok, maybe no halo, but i'd be off quietly anyway and Not demanding to be the center of attention. But I know that some would be cross if I didn't tell you how to send us a gift for Tiger. So then, in case you Are dying to send us a gift for Tiger, we are registered at Babies R Us and Target, as well as USA Baby and Hop Scotch in Grand Rapids.
View registries at
www.babiesrus.com or www.target.com
and type in my name and select Michigan. Our registry will pop up.
For USA Baby, you'll have to actually go to the store off 28th St by Centerpoint Mall, but the main thing we've registered for there is a high chair by Svan. I also really like the bouncy seat by Svan but can't locate it anywhere but the Svan site.
For Hop Scotch, you'll have to call or stop in to their store on Cherry/Lake and they've got some things in a basket for us. You can either pay for shipping or they'll call us to come get it. 616.233.4008 is their number. Rachel, the owner, will be happy to help you out... she's been very helpful for me so far! They also have a website.
Showers
There will be one in Ellsworth on the 18th of October, and one in Grand Rapids on the first of November. If you'd like to attend and haven't received an invite yet, it's because I don't have an address for you! Please identify yourselves :) and give me your address so I can pass it on to the hostesses.
If you would like to order off the registry and ship something for me to open at a shower, it can be sent to
O-1673 Parkland Trail
Grand Rapids, MI 49544
Gender specifics
Just because we don't know whether we're having a boy or girl, it doesn't mean you can't buy cute clothes of a certain gender persuasion. Feel free! But please include a gift receipt so I can exchange it if Tiger comes out the other gender ;)
And don't bother with diapers - we now have a really big pile of cloth ones. But if you're inclined to get some wipes, I wouldn't say no.
The room is yellow with white trim and a (still waxed!) hardwood floor and here's a pic of the bedding set we've chosen. And another pic of the crib and changing table we'd like, so you get a taste for the style we're going for.

Excuse me, you do realise you have chosen very boyish colours! Just thought I'd mention it...
