So, I thought that I would post this really quick. If you are expecting or know someone that is expecting, I would highly recommend these items. Trust me, registering is so much fun, but honestly you could live without 70% of that stuff. All of that "stuff" is great, but it just takes up so much space. I am not going to put the obvious items, like diapers, wipes, clothes (because, DUH, we all know they need those!). These are the Top items I would recommend for any newborn (as she gets older, I am sure this list will change):
1. Burp Cloths - you can never have too many I have found out
2. Swing - Blake does not love her swing yet, but it is awesome to put her in while she is asleep and you can get things done and still keep an eye on her!
3. Sterilizer - I didn't think you needed one of these, but I got one anyway and it is awesome! You don't have to have one, because boiled water works fine, it just has made my life easier.
4. ONESIES - you can never have too many and they are so easy, especially for those late night diaper changes!
5. Baby Bjorn - I was so aganist these, but they are great for when your baby wants to be held and you can still get things done!
6. Boppy Pillow - AWESOME for breastfeeding and for holding your little one.
7. Diaper Genie ELITE - I like the Elite because you do not have to twist the diapers individually.
8. Pack - n - Play - Blake sleeps in her Pack-n-Play beside our bed
9. Monitors- obviously...lol!
10. EXTRA sheets and Pack-n-Play sheets - trust me, they spit up all over them and their diapers can leak through on them at night! I would say at least 4 sets, because you don't want to have to do laundry every day!
11. Bottles - you think you have enough, but you won't!!! You can never have too many!
12. GOOD breast pump - make sure if you are breastfeeding that you have a great pump, because you will regret it! I rented a hospital grade one from a medical supply store and it is awesome!
13. Aveeno Wash and Shampoo in one - this is AWESOME for when you are spongebathing them, because they will SCREAM and you want to get things done fast!
14. Wipe Warmer - Blake screams if the wipes are cold! The wipe warmer is awesome!
That is all I could think of off of the top of my head. I wish that someone would have told me the "must haves" and been honest! Trust me, I am not an expert by any means, but I thought I would share our favorites.
