Hmmmmm

Id say a boppy would be nice
Also one of those little fleece blankets with velcro so you can swaddle your baby.
My son LOVED the Jolly Jumper that hung from the ceiling!
He also loved his swing,walker and little play center thing.
bibs
those little mitten for over their hands
those little socks with rattles in them :)
A video monitor
Diaper Genie

Hmmm... I was due in March... I don't know when you are due, but if baby is going to be out in cold weather as a newborn I HIGHLY recommend the Eddie Bauer Carseat cover for the infant carseat.. I hated the other brands, but this was really easy and wore very well..

I got a playyard thing off of ebay that someone recommended when he learned to pull himself up... Its by first years I think.. and all plastic.. If I can find a pic.. I will FM you... They dont make them anymore- but they should.

Other things on my must have..

Ocean wonders bouncy chair
Johnny jumper (got his legs sooo strong)
pack and play with bassinet
Monitor with lights on the ceiling display

Useless things-- WIPE WARMERS... they just make the wipe more wet, which to most babies feels more cold.. picture that on your lil tush!

GOOD LUCK!
