• Gifts and second-hand counted separately
• Cost by category, and the registry at a glance
• The first year month by month, against your budget

The list is already written for you

• 37 items pre-filled across 13 categories
• Must have, nice to have, or later
• Bought, gift, second-hand or borrowed
• 'Still to pay' updates itself

Dated from your due date

• 26 tasks, second trimester to the first weeks
• Every date calculated from the day you enter
• Overdue turns red, done turns green
• Registering the birth, health cover, nursery lists

Who gave what, and who you still owe a thank you

• Given by, received, thank you sent
• Value received vs still hoped for
• 80 rows

Then the real cost starts
