    As you're probably (more than) aware, Kim Kardashian is pregnant with her first baby and making all the preparations to bring the little pop culture prince or princess into the world. Most recently, she and baby daddy, Kanye West, did what most pregnant couples do at some point -- tackled their baby gift registry.

    While it can be fun to imagine all the adorable little gifts and gadgets people will be gifting you, it also is usually a struggle to decide what to ask for. What do you really need? Are the items you want too expensive? Is there enough variety? Kim and Kanye, however, seemed to know exactly what they want for their little one, and their registry is flat-out unbelievable.

    All right pregnant mama, you've got your baby registry ready, and your nursery is just about perfect. But where's your baby going to sit when she eats? Once babies get old enough to sit unsupported and start eating solid foods (around 6 months), you may want to get a high chair. The best kind of high chair is the high-quality chair you inherit for free from a friend. But if that freebie never materializes, the next best thing is a convertible high chair.

    Convertible high chairs adjust as your child grows, so you don't have to buy a second chair or booster seat later on. Here are our top picks for some of the best convertible high chairs on the market.

    Kate Middleton has proven time and again that she can make pretty much anything look good. Today, she even managed to make a "Baby on Board" badge, which was gifted to her by London subway workers, look great.

    It was a sweet gesture really, which they made during her visit to celebrate the 150th anniversary of the Tube. According to the Associated Press, they gave it to her in case she ever has trouble finding a seat on the subway. Which is hilarious, because a) Can you imagine The Duchess just hopping on the subway these days; and b) If she did, I'm guessing she'd have no problem finding a seat because everyone would be passed out cold around her.

    At any rate, I think the fact that they have these buttons is ... interesting.

    When you're pregnant, your dreams of your baby likely involve coos, gurgles, sweetness, and smiles. But unless you have some sort of alien baby from the planet sunshine, the fact is your baby is going to fuss. More than you ever thought humanly possible.

    Yes, some babies are fussier than others (God bless the moms of colicky children), but all of them have their moments, and trust me, those moments will be some of the longest of your life. You can try singing, and rocking, and baby whispering, but sometimes you need a little more help to stop the fussing. Here are five products moms swear by that are worth a try.

    What products would you add to the list?

    Don't believe me? Well, here is the definitive list of 10 must-haves all new moms need to have at their disposal and a video, to boot. See below:

    When you're pregnant for the first time, the planning and preparation for your baby can be one of the most thrilling, fun experiences ever. The little clothes are so cute, and all that gear looks so helpful. So you buy, register, and scoop up any and every little thing you think you need for this journey.

    Only the truth is, you need very little to raise a child, and most of these products marketed to parents are useless at best no matter how much they make you want them. But still you'll want/think you need them and you'll continue to accumulate them while your been-there-done-that friends and family will roll their eyes and maybe even giggle a bit behind your back. If they're the bold type, they may try to save you from yourself, but more often than not, they'll sit back and wait for you to learn the hard way ... just like most of us do.

    So in case no one else will tell you, here are six silly baby products new moms get suckered into buying.

    When it comes to baby gear, there are plenty of things you can skimp on or skip. You don't need a fancy diaper twister, or a bottle warmer, or countless other things they try to sell you, nor do you need the top-of-the line products for every little thing.

    Pumping can be a painful process (literally and figuratively), and the right breast pump can be key to your success. After reviewing plenty personally and checking with other moms, here are five of the most highly rated ones out there for every situation to consider in your search.

    What breast pumps have you used/are you considering?
