Baby Essentials

This time around, I've got a baby registry, but it's a little sparse. I've still got stuff from when M was a baby, so I don't need that much. We still have her swing, which is pink and very girly, but I don't really care. He's just going to use it here at home. I just can't see spending $100+ on something he'll use for a couple of months when we have a perfectly good one already. We'll be reusing M's bassinet, bathtub, BeBe Pod, vibrating chair, Boppy (with a new blue cover, of course), and activity mat.
I will be needing a new high chair because M has pretty much destroyed hers. We like this one because it doesn't really stand out. It kinda blends in with our normal decor. And although I like the ones that go in a regular chair, those are a little inconvenient when we have company over for dinner.
While I am determined to make breastfeeding work with this little one, I will eventually have to go back to work, and therefore must have bottles. I used Avent with M, but that was back in the day before they were BPA free, so I chucked them. This time I'm going with The First Years Breastflow Bottles. I'm hoping these will help ease the transitions between breast and bottle.

I also discovered these awesome swaddling blankets by aden + anais a little too late for M, so I have to have them this time. They are very large and a little stretchy, as well as lightweight. So no worrying about baby overheating.

A new car seat is a biggie. M's was pink (of course) and H put it in the attic where it's been for the past 2.5 years, so I wouldn't use it again anyway. I'm kinda diggin' the Little Hoot design on this travel system, but I'm not entirely convinced I need a stroller. Someone convince me! I mean, I plan on doing a lot of baby-wearing while out and about, so I'm hoping not to need a stroller, but what about that one time I really need one? Decisions, decisions....

While I already have a Moby wrap, I would LOVE LOVE LOVE to have one of these Beco Baby Carriers. They are super cute and seem pretty easy to use.

And of course I need boy clothes, and new burp cloths, and diapers. I really wanted to use cloth diapers, but H pitches a fit whenever I mention them. So I thought about g diapers, but they're kinda pricey and I'd have to have them delivered because there aren't any stores near here that carry them. So I'm probably going to go with disposables, even though the guilt will eat away at me.
