New mommies to be

   
   So I've realized some important things needed for your little ones room and items you'll probably end up needing right away. 
So here's a list of things I had or bought after Tru was born: 
Clock 
trash can
Night light 
Lamp 
Dirty hamper 
Baby monitor 
Sound machine
Changing pad
Syringe bulbs 
Glider 
Little end table next to glider for your water and such. You have to drink a ton of water while breast feeding!
Boppy
Burp cloths
Nursing pads 
Blackout curtains  

Things I found useful during the first few months. 

Baby books - I started reading to Tru right away and he enjoys it!
Breast Pump 
Dr brown bottles 
Nursing cover 
Activity play mat 
Baby bath 
Good nursing bras and sports bras 
Swing
Ergo carrier or moby wrap 
Newborn sleepers with zippers - I didn't think Tru was going to be 6lbs and we had no preemie clothes and only a couple newborn. I highly recommend buying some newborn zip up onsies and keep the tags on until you come home from the hospital. That way if you don't need them you can return it 
0-3 clothes 
Mittens - for scratching 
Newborn beanies 
Grooming kit 
Swaddle blankets 
Few different brands of paci's
If you're having a boy I recommend buying a lot of little baby washcloths and always keeping one on the changing pad because it happened one too many times of Tru either peeing on him, me, Chet, the wall and a few other crazy places. :-) boys will be boys! 
Cetaphil lotion or coconut oil. Tru had a little eczema and the cetaphil helped within days. 

I hope this has helped you and if
You have any questions please ask!
