So, I gotta restock! There are a few things I can borrow from friends (thanks Dykstras!), but still some things left I gotta find myself. And, yesterday, Toys R Us was having their Baby Sale. So, I went and picked up our very first of the baby gear:
A Boppy Swing! It is so comfy, small and portable. It's so light and teeny it will do double duty as a bouncy chair as well. And, bonus, Nich likes, no LOVES it, because of its neutral colour palette.
And I have a good 6 months to find a few more things on my wish list...
A cradle! We need something that will rock our baby bean to sleep in the middle of the night. We never had anything like this for Eva, and we had to continuously bounce the bouncy chair with our foot (which is hard!) for 20 minutes at a time throughout the night.
A Boppy pillow! Does anyone have one I can borrow?
A Double Stroller! I have my eye on a Phil & Ted's E3. This stroller is so perfect because the second seat can be unattached. And I'll have a 2 1/2 year old that will probably want to walk on short stints to the park. But will get tired going on long Mommy walks.And when Eva outgrows strollers altogether, it will be a single stroller for Baby Bean.
A playpen with bassinet and change table. Oh my goodness. This is the must-have for me. I had a HARD time moving around after I gave birth (we can thank the 4th degree tear for that). And maneuvering myself to change diapers on the floor/couch/wherever was tough stuff. I'm looking forward to being able to stand and change my little newborn. And the other bonus is the bassinet. This will be nap area for Baby Bean for quite some time. We'll have it downstairs for the first while, and then move it to our room, so Eva and Baby Bean can nap/quiet time in different rooms.
Do you already have a color-scheme in mind? Are you wanting to find out whether Baby Bean is a boy or girl before birth?
