Newborn Registry Checklist

While planning for your first-born, it can be SO daunting to figure out what one needs (truly needs!!) vs a "nice to have," vs a "not necessary" purchase.

Since this is our first, we are starting from ground zero- not just in education but also in understanding what we should (and should not) be purchasing.

Through a ton of research, I've created a newborn registry checklist for you or a loved one who is expecting!
