wow you have thought of everything thanks i shall be taking notes. x

just noticed we are due the same day wow how exciting.

I was just researching, wouldn't know what to get ever but thank god for internet I just remember how they say that the first three months, we'd all stay home, so need to be prepared

Cool on the same day, let's hope they won't be too late or too early

I don't think 3 onesies/vests in newborn and 3 months size will be enough.

They could in theory have a leaky wet nappy and an explosive up-their-back bowel movement within an hour of each other... If you've only got 1 spare vest, that doesn't leave many options for washing & drying...

Same with the crib sheets, I don't think 2 sets would be enough... I always think at least 3: 1 on, 1 in the wash, 1 spare for accidents. (I do that for all the beds in the house though!)

thanks, adjusting to six onesies and three bed sheets. should be our b'n'b list

Wow your list is massive! Mine is small compared to that, but then again I just lumped common stuff together and didn't itemize it yet. Great job!

wow! what is a sleep postioner? and why petroleum jelly for a boy?

xx

i am just using the lists from Babies r us and Mothercare lol. but a good list
