Registry

In anticipation for baby's arrival, we have spent some time curating a list of items we anticipate will be well appreciated during baby's first year. If you would like to contribute, please review the lists, below through 2 different retailers. Please note that we have intentionally registered for "duplicate" items by nature of offering them through both retailers. We felt it would be easier to mark the items as purchased, ourselves, or conduct a return, rather than trying to decide which retailer folks prefer to frequent. If you select an item through one and would like to mark as purchased on the other, feel free to do so.

Please know that we are surprise loving people. Adding many of these items felt very peculiar since we would be just as happy with many of the options on the market or even a previously loved item from a friend or family member. Should you prefer to gift outside of this list, please know that your thoughtfulness will be well received and greatly appreciated.

Walmart

UPDATE: Walmart's website promises that they make it easy to see who purchased what. After several customer service conversations, we have discovered that this is unfortunately not a truthful statement. They do not provide a note with shipments, indicating the senders, nor do they provide a place within the website to review the sender's name. At this point, we would discourage you from ordering through this site unless you also send us an email letting us know what's headed our way, so that we can extend our appreciation. If you have already made a purchase, we would welcome the opportunity to thank you for your generosity.

Current Standings

We have been exceptionally blessed to be showered with gifts from friends and family, despite the crazy circumstances we currently find ourselves in. As our due date approaches, we understand that a few folks would like to make sure we have everything we need for baby's arrival. We have done our best to ensure that the registry websites remain updated regarding which items have been purchased or not. If you are curious about a particular item, please feel free to reach out. We would welcome the opportunity to chat with you. We also put together a bullet point list, below to indicate which items we have already received, to give you an idea of what we currently have on hand.

Week 34 - Home is where Family is

This week, we eagerly prepared for a celebration. With great excitement, we welcomed our parents and sibling to our home to celebrate: * Independence Day * Kiersten's MBA Graduation * 1 Year Wedding Anniversary * The completed decoration of our home! In the final days leading up to this special occasion, we put the finishing touches on our home, becoming experts at measuring and hanging wall art - something our house has been desperately missing for way too long! Believe it or not, we signed the mortgage on this little place in November of 2018. So, the walls have been in desperate need of some personality. In much thanks to the generosity of our family and friends, we were able to fill it with several meaningful items, as well as a few selections of our own. It brought us great pride to show off our finished space to our immediate family. We have taken the time during quarantine to truly knock items off our project list and make this little house our own.

Week 19 - A Whole New World

This week brought change no one could have truly anticipated. We'll start with the photo, above. We have spent the past few months training for a 5k event that was scheduled to take place on Saturday. Due to the coronavirus precautions, the event was cancelled. This was disappointing for our group, since we had all worked so hard to accomplish this goal. So, we decided to gather together (in a group of 10 or less!) to complete the challenge, all the same. Some of us accidentally put in more than 5k, but we all had a great time on a brisk Michigan March morning. We enjoyed fellowship and food before retreating to our homes for the weekend. The hotels have been knocked out at the knees. We were on track for a record breaking March, but all of that has come to a screeching halt as businesses and individuals heed government precautions to avoid travel and gathering in groups. Last Thursday, we held an emergency meeting to brainstorm cost saving measures. Hourly associates had ...

Week 12 - The 1st Good Glimpse

This week, baby is as big as a plum! Ben has eagerly downloaded several different apps to keep up to date on baby's growth as well as the expected changes to Kiersten's body. Unfortunately, morning sickness has been a constant, with vomiting and dry heaving becoming an every day trend. Everywhere we look indicates that most women have experienced relief from these symptoms by now. That is unfortunately not the case for this pregnancy. We are constantly reminded that "every pregnancy is different" in addition to the reassurance that "this will pass soon, and then you'll be glowing!" At this point, we are beginning to expect Kiersten's body to have literal light beams coming from her fingers and hair. We were able to visit the doctor, again and get some more pictures! We can finally see our little one in a form we recognize. It was so special to hear their heartbeat and see them wriggle around on the ultrasound screen. The doctor indicated tha...
