I will pretty much only have to buy diapers and clothes when my baby is born because she gave me pretty much everything else, even maternity clothes....I really want to let her know I appreciate what she is doing but I also don't want to over do it... any advices????

I would send a thank you card with a small gift certificate ($5 - 10) to a coffee shop, fast food place, bagel shop, etc. If you can afford more, give her a $25 gift certificate to a retail store (Target, WalMart, etc.).
If you know her hobbies and interests, buy a small gift that you know she'll like. It may be easier to accept than a gift card.
This woman has saved you hundreds of dollars. I'm sure she gave the items without wanting anything in return, but a small gesture would probably be appreciated.

Wow that was very generous of you!
I'd definitely do a thank-you card.
I'd also make a point in telling her how much the new baby is enjoying X or Y items once the baby is born. Let her know as time goes on you still appreciate & use her gifts.

Yes. I'd give her a thank you card, with a hand written message inside telling her how much you and the baby appreciate everything and send her a gift basket or some flowers.

Don't just send a thank you card. Try a nice basket of fruit or flowers. Maybe tickets to a movie and a dinner for her and her hubby.
Tops it'll cost you $100.00. You'll saved that much in the first 5 outfits she gave you.

Send her a nice thank you card and enclose a gift certificate to her favorite store where she buys her clothes or to her favorite restaurant.
If you are handy with crafts, make her something nice for her home or her desk at work.
There are any number of things like that you could do.

A simple little thank you card with a note letting her know how much you appreciate all she has given you also thank her for being a friend-they are hard to find these days!! Good luck to you!

A thank you card is the least you should do.
A picture of the baby would also be nice.
It's not necessary to to "over do" anything, as your co-worker most likely just wanted to do
something nice for you. Usually, when people do something nice, they don't expect anything in return.

A nice thank you card along with a little gift will show her just how much you appreciate what she has given you and your baby too.
Good for you to have such a wonderful co-worker to have given all that to you and your baby too.

What your co-worker did is a really thoughtfull, caring thing. A "Thank You" card sounds terrific. slip a $5 in a there and a coupon for the local strip joint if you're really happy. If not, the "Thank You" card will do just fine.

A friend of the family did the same for me when I was pregnant. I sent her a thank you card, just like I did for those who gave at my baby shower.
Congrats!
