Baby's almost here! But are we ready? This is "Baby's First Shopping List," a list of the things we should have by the time Baby arrives. It was based on baby advice found in various books and magazines, or supplied by family. (If you believe something's missing, please send an e-mail to [email protected].) For now this list is intended to share our progress in shopping for the Baby; soon we hope to include a way for those who'd like to help to let us know how soon. So keep checking in; this page is updated often!
*By the way, most things on this list are what we feel we need for a newborn. Things we'll need as Baby ages beyond the first few months are marked as "optional," because we don't need to have them before Baby's born but we will need them eventually!
 
 

* Clothing * Bedtime * Hygiene & Health * Diapering * Nursing * Transportation * Misc
