Putting in my list for my baby shower - need help!

Everyone has been asking me what I need/want still for the baby so they can get it for my baby shower, and honestly I don't know what I'm forgetting because I have so much going on my head is going crazy! So I need some help with the things I still need, big or small things.

Stuff I already have:
-Some clothes (waiting til after the baby shower to pick the take home outfit)
-Dresser
-Crib/Changing table attatched
-Diaper stacker
-Bedding
-A few blankets
-Diaper Genie Elite
-Carseat/Stroller
-Carseat positioner (not sure what that's called, the thing that makes sure they don't bounce around in the car)
-Breast pump

What I know I'm getting for the baby shower:
-Swing
-High chair
-Baby monitors

What else do I need?! My baby shower is May 23rd so I have to tell them soon!

Looks like you've got a good list going, I would get a humidifier, lots of babies come home very stuffed up and it will be a necessity down the road for when baby gets a cold.

Receiving blankets, high chair, bubo seat, play mat, mattress pad, changing pad, carrier, diaper bag, toys, rocker, clothes, baby bath, swing, bouncer, night light, air purifier. And if you have a bathroom that you will use for the baby, then a bathroom set with curtains, rugs, etc.
Safety stuff. Tons of diapers and wipes too.

Def. let me know what you get.  This is my first and what I did was make my registry then have a couple friends that have kids already look at it before I told anyone I finished it.  They had some great ideas.   But, I would love to know what you got.  I hear "boppy's" are a must as well!

Thank you ladies! I'm going to post again after my shower and tell everything I got so I can go buy everything I didn't get, I'm sure I'll get tons of everything small but I'm going to wait and see. I'm also getting a bassinet since the baby's room is on a different floor from me, and I want him in my room, I don't feel comfortable just using monitors. Thank you ladies! :]

Oh, I am also getting a pack and play with a bassinet so he can sleep in that in my room in the begining, then I can use the pack and play later on!

Umm... just a couple things that came to mind:

-tiny bibs
-burb cloths
-onesies
-diapers & wipes
You can never have too many of these!

You might also want:

-a baby tub (or slantboard; I've always used the slantboard in the regular tub with my babies)
-baby washcloths & baby bath
-hooded towels
-baby nail clippers (you'll want several pairs; I could NEVER find those things!)
-sleep positioner

That's all I can think of at the moment... = )
