After our window shopping last week for baby stuff, I decided that I have to be completely rational about shopping for all the baby needs if I want to still be able to keep enough money for when the baby actually comes! All the cute stuff would have to be stayed away from for a while... I have to make a list first of what the baby really needs before I start losing my sanity and buy everything I find nice and adorable. Here's my list so far (and mommy friends, feel free to suggest/add anything that SHOULD be in the list but I have not thought of yet):
Clothes- 5 undershirts or onesies
- 2 blanket sleepers
- 3 pairs of socks or booties
- 5 pajama stretchsuits
- 1-2 dress-up outfits
- 1 Hat
- 1 sweater
Bedding- Bassinet or crib
- Baby mattress
- sheets
Breast-feeding- 3 nursing bras
- Pillow to support baby
- Breast pump
- 1 box of breast pads
- Nipple cream (lanolin-based is best)
- Loose shirts or button-downs for me (easier for nursing)
Changing- Diapers
- Baby lotion
- Baby wipes
- Diaper rash ointments
- Toys to distract the baby
- Changing mat
- Tissues
- Dirty-diaper bin or bucket
For Going Out- diaper bag/backpack
- baby carrier/stroller
- diapers
- Travel-size tissues
- Baby wipes
- Plastic bag for dirty diapers
Like I said, I only listed the basics (and pardon for the repeated items, I just categorized them as to when they would be used so...) Oh, and I know, the clothes look super few, but I want to buy more (of course after the baby comes already).

you might want to add lactacyd (baby bath, the blue one) and some kiddie cotton buds, too. :)
