I'm 25 weeks pregnant w/ my second child. My other child is almost 5. I have somewhat forgotten exactly what I will need when the new baby comes home, and was wondering if you can give me a list of everything she will need like onesies, burp rags, diapers, bibs, etc.........I'm making a list to start buying things and I don't want to leave anything off! Thank you for your help.

Ok..I know you want general advice, however here is the thing. You are only 14 you don't know what "caring sex" is. At 14 you think you know what love is but you don't! I don't think your a slut but I do think you made a bad decision... How are you going to finish school? Get a job? How are you going to get money to get diapers, formula, clothes? Have you thought about maybe and open adoption???? Please I know you already love this baby but think about his/hers quality of life with a 14 yr old mom and dad. Think about what is best for the baby not you! Having a baby is fun - but it is A LOT of work!
