Kind of OT but I dont want to forget anything

I am trying to get everything bought for my little man but I keep feeling like I am forgetting things. What are some things you ladies can throw out at me that may be commenly missed?

Yeah I had a shower back in March but I got all the big stuff.. We did the Rainforest Fisher Price set. I got the swing, bouncer, highchair, packn play, changing table etc... I have to get all the small things

Did you have a shower, Linzola?

Yeah, those little mittens because your baby has some sharp nails! I never used them because my little ones wouldn't keep them on. If you don't want to buy them you can definitely use baby socks.

I love baby shopping!!!

yeah everytime i go to a baby shower i get the little saftety first kit, it often comes with a thermometer, medicines, bulb, etc. and it is easy to carry around with you and keep organized. you may want to get some little gloves to go over his hands most of them like to destroy their face when they are mad lol but you can just as easily use socks or they may provide some at the hospital. its fun to have a sling so you can wear them and have free use of your hands, they enjoy it too! i think Joy got most of it covered! you can also just scan the aisles and get ideas on different things you need or that would be useful.

Oh, get those little infant baby clothes hangers for the closet! They're $.98 at W.al-M.art for a pack of 12! They're in the infant aisle.

You will also need burp clothes, bibs, highchair. I personally use a chair that straps to a regular chair. It cost me $35 at T.arget and you can use it from newborn up to toddler. It reclines for newborn and has a removeable tray and washable fabric!
