Pregnancy is rife with unpleasant surprises (cankles and heartburn to name just two).

So it’s a nice change of pace to discover that Blabla has just launched a baby registry.

The hometown hero (and global superstar spotted in the arms of celebutots everywhere) now lets moms-to-be register for the goods they want at the Va-Hi headquarters.

The line of sweaters, hats, finger puppets, backpacks, dolls, rattles, and tees are manufactured employing fair trade ethics and using snuggly soft all-natural fibers, so your conscience can rest easy. Plus, for those seeking a truly special setting to toast the tot, Blabla plans to open its adorable atelier to baby showers in the near future.

Yes, we’re letting you in on that before it happens.

Wouldn’t want to catch you by surprise.

Available at Blabla l’Atelier, 1189 Virginia Avenue, Virginia Highland (404-875-6496 or blablakids.com).
