having what baby needs

Im now 30 weeks and im starting to worry that i dont have enough stuf for my baby, i know people say well babys grow out of things fast, and they do, but i literaly only have like 6 onsies in newborn and 6sleepers i have some pants and socks.... but thats all i have for a new born, babys get changed alot. Then i only have 5 onsies for 0-3m n 2 sleepers... i know for sure thats not enough. I have 1 blanket for the baby... 1 :( i know imma get stuf from my bfs grandma and from my baby shower but not that much stuf. I am getting the crib wednesday, i have 2 sheets... thats it. I have no baby lotion, bath, shampoo, i only have a few diapers, i dont have a changing pad... i feel like a bad mom but i mean i dont have an income and so far my bf hasnt done anything to help and he still dont have a job. I got a free car seat (5-22lbs) and i got a nursing cover, boppy pillow, n carseat cover for free today... but i still feel like i need so much more :( idk what to do (sorry this is so long)

Honestly you do have enough. Clothes you will gather over time.  As for baby lotions and bath etc my hospital recommend that you dont even use anything except clean water ti wash baby. Although I do ppersonally use a wash. You will go through ALOT of nappies, so they are a must. And as for a changing pad I have heard aloy of mums say they never even use it (once again, I personally do) but just make do with what you have, a clean cloth on the floor or sofa is sufficient for a nappy change.  Also you may be surprised with how generous some people are at bavy showers, I hopr that is the caee for you. Best of luck, try to stay positive, it will all work out.
