Of course the crib, but I don't know what
I would have done without a swing and
bouncer, so I would say both of them for
sure

I generally agree with the above list but
I would add more of some things like
onesies, blankets, sheets, socks and
sleepers. Babies tend to vomit, pee and
otherwise soil their clothing, if you
don't want to spend your life doing
laundry it's better to just buy larger
quantities of these things. I would also
add baby oil, vaseline, a mobile and some
toy that does something. Music,
lights, vibration. Anything that buys
you a moments peace is worth a fortune!!

triple that number for onsies atleast or
else you'll be doing laundry twice a day.

having a baby shower, register at babies r
us, they give you a list of everything you

By the time we made the big "it's a girl!"
announcement, our family and friends
flooded our house with pink onesies and
pacifiers. Some of them banded together
and bought us gift certificates to .Target
so that we could get items that we needed.
We ended up spending maybe $100 of our
own money on things for our baby.
*everything* else found its way to us
through our loved ones.
My point being... Maybe you should hold
off on buying things just yet. You'll
have plenty of time later (barring any
complications) to shop, and in the
meantime, you just might get a good
portion of the things you need from family
and friends. By the time you're in your
9th month, you'll probably have heard "so
what else do you need?" about 80 times.
What I did was I kept a checklist of
things a newborn baby would need, and as I
received things I would check them off of
the list. As the time got closer, I found
more and more things were checked off,
until we finally had a very small list of
essentials that we still needed. It saved
a lot of hassle in the long run, and
you're going to need all the money you can
save when the little one makes his/her
appearance.
I think you should definitely register
somewhere like .Babies 'r .Us or .Target,
sit back and relax. Your family and
friends will *want* to buy things for you!
Just remember to send them birth
announcements with a cute little photo of
your baby's adorable face. Good luck hon!

Yeah definately register b/c everytime one
of my relatives or friends says, "what
would you like me to get you?" I say "i'm
registered at babies r us" :)
