1. Gas drops!!!!!!!!!!!
2. tylenol/motrin
3. baby oragel
4. onesies
5. cute clothes (I can't resist baby clothes. They've got to be sylin'!)

Enjoy all the things you need to get. Trying to think if there was anything I hated. Will let you know if I think of it.
A diaper champ is better than a diaper genie. Kids can open a genie and reach in and get the diapers. A champ encloses them and they can't get them. All of them still stink, so it is better to drop the mess in the toilet if you can and just trash the diaper. Saves on stinking you out.
Again we are so excited for you and hope you enjoy your pregnancy. Stay healthy!
Love
Erica, Andy, Isaiah and soon baby girl! :)

1. Portable Bouncy Seat
2. Wipe Warmer
3. Quality Breast Pump (I was happy with the Medela products and loved their "microwave steam bags") if you're going to nurse.
4. White Cloth Diapers...we used them for burp cloths and now they are "blankies." We always have plenty of them and they look the same, so there is never a "blankie" problem!
5. Sleep Positioner

I will also put in a plug for Gripe Water. It worked great for Emma's Reflux even better than her prescribed medication! It also takes care of hiccups!

Good luck with everything! It is so much fun registering for all that stuff! Take Care!

1.)Co-sleeper--I loved that they were right beside my bed and I could take care of them without getting up
2.)Gripe water--takes care of hiccups and any other fussing you can't find a reason for :-)
3.)car seat cover (to protect your car seats from the sharp edges of the baby car seat)--we lived without it and regretted the indentations on our leather car seats
4.)lots of burp cloths
5.)bumbo seat (once they're able to support their head well)--fussy babies will sit in a bumbo when they won't "recline" in their bouncy or swing--not that I know anything about fussy babies :-)
Good luck and happy shopping,
Danelle
