I have been going to a lot of garage sales lately. Considering all the extra expenses, when it comes to baby, don't forget garage sales as a good resource. I've been seeing clothing that looks like brand new for 50 cents to a dollar or two plus very cute toys, blankets, cribs, baby lamps etc. Maybe this could supplement what you already have. Best wishes on you new baby. P.S. Don't stress out. Your going to be a great mom.

seems like a pretty good list to me (assuming "main things" means big stuff like carseats/swings/stroller and basics like bottles, diapers, etc)! I will say to make sure you have lots of burpies and sheets...even if you don't need them all at once, when you go through them you go through a lot!
A good investment is in a sun hat/bonnet, too, since it's summery out and you want to make sure you keep that little face out of the sun!
Something we used a lot, too, was a swaddler blanket (the kind with velcro). I swaddle a lot at work, and could do it in my sleep if I tried, but I loved how easy it was to just velcro everything in and then you don't have to worry about undoing the velcro to change diapers, you just undo the bottom....and it has a slit for when baby is in the swing/seat.
Sounds like you're ready to go!

Sound like you have everything for the baby organised have you got things for yourself, you will need:
Toilet bag with toiletries eg shampoo deodorant etc
makeup bag with some make up already in it
facecloth for your partner to sponge you down when in labour
old night dress to wear when in labour
lip balm as lips get dry when in labour
sanitry towels
pants
pyjamas
clothes for leaving the hospital in

You still need bottles, bottle warmer, bottle sterilizer, crib, travel system (car seat + stroller), car base for the car, baby formula if not breast-feeding, diapers (at least 1 pack of "newborn" size diapers), extra bodysuits, bath tub, baby wash, baby detergent, baby powder, baby wipes, cream for the bottom, baby lotion, diaper bag, and baby q-tip.
There is never enough things to buy for your baby. The list will continue when he/she gets older. Good luck!

I know the feeling!! What i did was get what you have on your list already and what ever you need after your baby is born can be got easily, whether it be from friends, family or yourself.
Try not to fret you will be well and truly sorted in time :))

diapers
are you breastfeeding? if not, you need formula
onsies
baby shampoo and wash
baby clothing detergent
saftey q-tips
baby lotion
diaper rash cream
thermometer
nose sucker thingy
baby nail clippers
***tip, go on Target.com and look through the baby products, I think there may even be a checklist under the registries somewhere

Don't stress yourself out--it's really not worth it!
I would buy one package of NB diapers (he may not need more than that, seriously they grow so fast) and a couple of size 1s, plus diaper cream/vaseline, wipes, powder.
Also, a thermometer.
Honestly, whatever you need you'll buy later.

extra batteries for the swing and mobile
also if you're baby is prone to blowouts - youll want onsies and sleepers that snap or zip down the front
also blankets the right size for swaddling
