UPDATE- Per the suggestion of some of the ladies on the site, Kristin has created an Amazon Wish list and you may find it here Wish List (http://www.amazon.com/registry/baby/13UN8RCUHY5VB)

Several of you have inquired with me as to whether "we" can have a baby shower for atomic sagebrush(Kristin). Since there is no easy way to get together with us all over the world, I thought we could throw her a virtual shower!

Baby atomic's due date is approaching soon and for any of you that feel so inclined to wish her well, Kristin has said it is okay to give out her personal information.

If you would like to mail her something, please do so to:


PO Box 244
Spangle, WA 99031

For those of you that are familiar and use Paypal, her personal Paypal email is gregkris@centurytel.net if that is an easier way instead of using the mail to send her a "gift".

I did ask if there is a nursery, colors, etc. and due to some space issues, Baby girl will be in with atomic and DH for now. They have had a trying year and anything that you all feel like doing would be lovely.

When she emailed me to tell me that she was pregnant with a girl, I knew why I had held onto my girl clothes for so long. Some things are just meant to be!

Thanks y'all and please direct any questions to atomic via PM.

What a wonderful idea! I don't think I would have gotten my daughter without Kristin's help, and I'd love to give back somehow.

What does she need? Does anyone know? (Atomic, are you seeing these posts? If so, do you need anything specific? Like Diapers, etc? I'd like to send something practical).

Excellent!!

My first thought when i found out i was expecting a boy was i have to send Atomic on my girl collection lol. I was too embarrassed to mail her, but i will certainly post over a few presents now. :highfive:

Could atomic maybe do a baby registry online somewhere so we can buy her things she really needs and she won't get too many of the same thing? And she gets things she really likes...I am guessing we all have very different tastes.

NBP i think this is a fantastic idea :) Great stuff!

I'll hold off a couple of days and see if we get a registry thing up and going, if not i have the perfect idea for something to post to atomic for her little baby girl

I'm so glad we are able to do this! She probably has no time to make a baby registry... She's too busy helping us!!!

I will be sending her something:heart:

Aaa I'm sorry I didn't check this thread for a couple of days! I've never done a registry before but I certainly could give it a try if it would help! What are the best sites??

That's kind of a good point - does it take long? Is that a silly question? I've really never done one.

i don't think they the too long :) i know with the aussie ones they have websites and you just sign up, and select the products that you like onto a wish list and people purchase them. Might be a good idea so that you can receive the gifts that you need and like :) would be great if you did one!

I looked at some girly outfits the other day and just couldn't choose!

A site that would work well for necessities would be Amazon, and would also be easy for the many international well-wishers to use. They have clothes, diapers (both cloth and disposable), as well as many other types of baby gear, and it's pretty easy to set up a registry there.

Amazon.com: Baby Registry (http://www.amazon.com/gp/baby/homepage/ref=homepage_billboard_feeding_registry?pf_rd_m=AT VPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_s=center-2&pf_rd_r=0WNWXDV68BTTMG5062HS&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=1381928282&pf_rd_i=165796011)

Atomic, do you have a Babies R Us or Toys R Us near you? I'm not sure if you could register online for them, but everyone I know registers there. I LOVE them and registered with my first there but it did take some time. I was also "new" to the whole baby thing so I asked for things that clearly make no sense now that I have four children and more experience...lol

Do u have mamas and papas in the US? Have such cute things in there. Cud quite easily buy the whole shop - if money was no object of course! X

Amazon! I never would have thought of that but that makes a ton of sense really. Give me a day or two to investigate! Thanks ladies!

Go investigate Atomic and spend some time sorting this out for yourself. I am another one that would love to get some for the atomic princess.

Oh, peb, thank you SO MUCH. Please believe me, $$ is great because we have doctor's bills! O.O Our insurance changed without warning at the end of last year so things like ultrasounds and blood tests, which used to be covered at 100%, now has to be paid out of pocket!

I got you something too. I can't believe how close you are - especially since I'm only about a month behind you, so that means I'll be meeting my little girl soon too! :HH:

Yikes Mocha...I know how you feel...we are a day apart in due date!! I just realized that while I felt the preg has dragged, suddnely now it feels like she'll be here before I know it!!

I can't wait to look at the registry, thanks for getting it together, Atomic.

Oh thank you for letting me know that, I'll have to edit my address. We live in a really small town so the post office won't deliver to our home and some places won't deliver to PO Box. :/

Hi, I bought 2 items off the Circle of Hope online auction to be sent to you. I thought you may enjoy them knowing they helped someone else :happy: Not terribly girly, but serviceable, practical items for a chilly winter. (warning...very unisexy)
