Answer 2

You need to go buy a couple books.

"What to Expect when You are Expecting"

"What to Expect the First Year"

"The Baby Book" by Dr Willam Sears

You will probably need to take a childbirth class/breastfeeding class. Ask your doctor/midwife about these.

You will need to buy a layette (buy mostly pj's and onesies)
You will need recieving blankets
You will probably need a swing
A crib if you decide to have your baby sleep in a crib


The books I listed will give you more of an idea of what you need to buy with checklists, etc for shopping. They also tell you what is going on with your body and will answer questions you may have.

Good luck.

Congratulations to you!
You will need lots of diapers, and undershirts. crib blankets, room monitor, baby oil, ivory soap, plastic bath tub for the table, and most important of all - SLEEP. Get lots of rest and you'll be able to remember it fondly when you're getting up several times a night for the next 18 years.
