I love lists. No really, I LOVE them! So today I want to make a list of MUST HAVES before baby comes. I have two more small baby showers before my due date, the last one is on April 5th, so I will need to wait until then to buy up the Must Haves in case someone gets them for me.
So, in order of importance:
MUST HAVES
#1. Cloth Diapers - I would like to have ~25 All In One Cloth Diapers. I'd prefer to have the majority be BumGenius diapers. I know that I have gotten 9 Cloth Diapers from my first baby shower and they should be arriving any day. I have found a deal on craigslist for another 18 diapers (10 of which are BumGenius), and there are some Alva New Born diapers that I might be picking up within the next couple of days. So, hopefully I will have all of these by this weekend!
#2. A bed rail - We are planning on co-sleeping. I'm guesstimating this to cost me $40, and will probably wait until April to buy.
#3. An Ergo Baby Carrier - I just found a resale shop in our area that says they regularly carry these used as at a discount. They usually cost a little over $100, and I'd like to get one for about $60.
#4. A diaper bag! I'm hoping I'll get the one I registered for at one of the remaining baby showers, so if not I'll order in April.
#5. Cloth diaper accessories! This includes cloth wipes, wipe warmer, diaper sprayer, trash can, 2 washable trash can liners, waterproof zippered wet bag. I'm estimating it all to cost me ~$150
WOULD LIKE TO HAVES
#1. Changing Table & Pad - I'm keeping an eye out on craigslist for a white changing table. I'll probably hold off on buying the pad until after the showers. My limit on the changing table is $50.
#2. Pack n' Play - I'd like to have one, but it isn't a must, at least right away. I will be helping a friend with her baby though, and so I would like to have it then for sure.
#3. Swing OR Bouncer - I haven't decided on which. Might depend on funds since bouncers are so much cheaper. I'd of course love to have both.
#4.Another car seat - we have already gotten one car seat, but is the one we are planning on putting in my car. The one for Josh's truck is one of the infant/carrier car seats, and it is the kind he prefers. We are planning on taking the truck to the birthing center when I go into labor, but of course we could always use the car seat that we already got in a pinch.
#5. Misc small products; a few bottles, my breast friend pillow, organic diaper cream, first aid/hygiene baby kit thinger (haha), tummy mat and/or play gym, some extra receiving blankets, etc.
