I love kimono tops and Trumpette socks too (and ended up hating onesies!). <br /><br />Your "must have nots" are right on. I'm so glad we waited on stroller shopping, and we did end up using our crib, but not until 6 months (and we had planned on co-sleeping, so we might not have used it at all). Though the crib was a great diaper-changing station for the first 6 months. <br /><br />The best advice I've heard for expectant parents: register for all the stuff you are expected to, and after your baby shower, TAKE IT ALL BACK and get a gift card. After you have the baby and you actually start to figure out what you need, buy it with the gift card. And when you don't end up needing nearly as much stuff as you thought you did, you will be able to buy lots of diapers and larger-sized clothes. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769679620300509803.post-58742769062957371302012-01-16T21:39:41.878-08:002012-01-16T21:39:41.878-08:00@shayna the miracle blanket was an EPIC FAIL for u...@shayna the miracle blanket was an EPIC FAIL for us. maybe trumpet socks stay better on fat little ankles? jeez, this post is starting to feel useless now. :/<br /><br />@intwosometwiminds i swear to god, it was because of you that i never gave up on the ergo. ;)Celiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05922091596290930281noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769679620300509803.post-30817717633600268902012-01-16T21:32:33.755-08:002012-01-16T21:32:33.755-08:00So funny...babies (and parents) are all so differe...So funny...babies (and parents) are all so different. The Ergo was a LIFESAVER for me. It was the only place E would sleep during the day for the first 4 months. <br /><br />Trumpette socks would not stay on her feet. Hanna Andersson socks are our go-to. I love the Aidan and Anais swaddle blankets because they're so soft and pretty but we never used them. The Miracle Blanket was our savior. Winter newborns are a whole different bag from spring/summer babies. Those flannel swaddle things were great for us. Also a radiator and loads of hats and cozy one piece fuzzy outfits.<br /><br />Stroller...totally. Don't get one until you know how you'll be using it. <br /><br />So yeah, just makes you realize that babies are actually little people...with VERY strong opinions.Shaynahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10205298480910844972noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1769679620300509803.post-50362990913184931912012-01-16T19:27:00.351-08:002012-01-16T19:27:00.351-08:00This is so unbelievably helpful.
