What things did you find essential for your baby?
Last night I washed and folded all of my 0-3 month baby clothes (so fun). I don't remember Levi being that little. He seemed so big to me right from the start, it's hard to believe he ever fit in that stuff. Anyway, I found lots and lots of sleepers and my favorite thing to dress a baby in sleeping gowns.
Levi lived in them. Easy for diaper changes and so comfy (I'm assuming, I don't have adult sized ones at home or anything. Although....). They are one of the things I would recommend to everyone having a baby.
The other thing I don't think we could have lived without was our microwave sterilizer.
I know most dishwashers have a sterilize setting but Steve and I felt like nipples and binkies got a film on them in the dishwasher. So we (mostly he) hand washed everything and this sucker was so handy. Much easier and faster then boiling water.
Those are the only two things I can think of that I just loved. I'm excited to see what yours were. We're trying to gear up for baby and I'm always eager to hear new tips and tricks.
Thanks for reading.

hmmm...now you've got me to thinking...
couldn't have lived without the 3 extra big flannel blankets that mike's great aunt made us. they were perfect for swaddling and we always had one with us! other than that I'm not sure...I'm with you on the gowns but will have to do some serious thinking about what else we couldn't have lived without!
nightgowns are a lifesaver!! I also liked the little "bags" for a winter baby. instead of using blankets. i wouldn't have made it without the portable swing with my second child, but i'm an outside gal!
the formula container that you can put the exact amount in each compartment that you need for a bottle.... loved that thing!!!
We would have not made it without the bouncer!
oh, and Natalee couldn't have made it now or then without her hanging crib toy...you know the one--it's ocean themed and sings and lights up for peaceful sleep. yeah, she loves that thing. AND her paci!
