BTDT moms, what are some things...........

Boppy!!! Especially if you plan on BF'd!

At least 3 terry cloth covers for the changing table pad. So you always have one in between cleanings.

Take-a-long swing. This is wonderful!!!! It is so easy to bring everywhere and Damien loves to swing.


He doesn't really love the vibrating part of his bouncy seat, and will only sit in it for a little while. So for me this really wasn't a must!

Hmmmm what I could have done without was the HUGE swing. I have the take along. For me that would have been plenty as Emma didnt like the swing.

The carrier was nice but they get HEAVY (the kids not the carrier) after a few months. A sling was nice too.

She LOVED the bouncy seat. She would sleep in it for hours.

I LOVED my glidder. It was the only comfortable chair to get in and out of after my c-section. I lived there for about a month

Bouncy seat -- Gianna LOVES hers!! It's the kick and play one and since she's a future soccer player, the kicking is her gig!!

She also loves the Ocean Aquarium thing attached to the crib! And she even pressed it herself Sunday morning!!!! Tangent, but Joe and I were still sleeping and all of a sudden I heard it going and I nudged him and told him she did it herself!!!

The Fisher Price take-along swing is great. Definitely a bobby -- even if you're not BF. If your baby's head is as heavy as Gianna's, you'll need something to prop up your arm while feeding him/her!!

Tummy Time -- she loves looking at it and all the music it plays. Actually anything with music and lights she loves.

One thing I forgot.....plenty of D batteries Everything takes d batteries. So stock up

Ain't that the truth Stacey!!! And C's and AAA's oh and some even take 9 volt!! Just stock up -- go to BJ's! And they ain't cheap either!!!! The day after I came home from the hospital Joe went out to buy batteries for the bassinet, monitor and something else and it cost him a friggin fortune!!!!
