Babies need lots of stuff.

So I started to create a list of things that I think we need to get before the baby comes. I am not sure if it is a thorough list or not. But as I was writing my list I turned to Blake and said "Wow! This baby needs a lot of stuff, it's like having another person move into the apartment." Then he said "Yeah, that's exactly how it is" and chuckled a little at my ignorance. So here is my list. Tell me what you think.

Crib, car seat, stroller, high chair, pack and play, diaper bag, diapers, wipes, bottles, wipe warmer, playmat, crib mattress, nursing pads, boppy and cover, swing, crib set, sterilizer, bottle warmer, shampoo, lotions, blankets, changing table, changing pad, storage, pacifiers, clothes, bibs, video camera, hooter hider, itzbeen timer, monitor, rocking chair, baby gates, tub, nail clippers, thermometer, etc.

Wow, I am so glad that I still have time to get all of that stuff. We do have some of it, and we have a lot of safety stuff for the house.

  1. You're right. Babies do need lots of things, but at least you won't need them all at once. A few things, we've never used, or considered getting: sterilizer, bottle warmer, wipe warmer, etc.

    High chairs and gates will come later. Oh, and the hospital gave us a thermometer. It's not the fanciest thing, but we haven't had to buy one yet.

    hmm...yeah, the list goes on and on...

  2. I agree with emuli, I bottle fed both of my kids and we did not use the sterilizer - we bought a munchkin basket and the dishwasher did the sterilizing :) we also let the microwave do the warming. Wipewarmer are nice to have just a matter of preference. High chairs and gates and safety stuff will come later. ( around 1 when they start walking ) but it is definately like having a new person moving in with you because that is what is happening. A new person is moving in with you. :) It just happens to be the best ever roomate! That you can kiss and cuddle and hug. So excited for you guys. Babies are so little but yes they need a lot of stuff.
