First I wanted to say thank you to those who left me responses to my questions as well as those who emailed me with a list of things! I am going to start with the aptimul baby formula (am not even remotely interested in breast feeding) and pampers new born nappies and also will invest in some sudocrem (and vaseline). Won't worry about bath soaps and stuff to begin with though I might buy some for myself as I love how some of it smells!
I had a bunch of stuff arrive this morning. My white baskets with pink fabric lining came along with waterproof mattress covers for baby. My nappy disposal system, baby bath, bottle cooler/warmer, the Baby Bjorn active carrier which actually looks so complicated I've put it aside so Kirk can figure out how the contraption works, more baby hangers and then those cute pink sunglasses which are so tiny in real life but looked huge in the pictures. All that's left now is the furniture, and then today I ordered the Bugaboo (ended up with the grey base and tan accent colours but then wanted some red so went for the red footmuff and sun canopy). I also got a baby seat and seat base for the car. Isn't the car seat really cute? It's a Maxi Cosi Cabrio which works with the Bugaboo and is also a pretty well rated car seat. Originally we were going to get a black one but then decided that was too boring so I opted for the loud pink one. Considering we didn't get the pink Bugaboo I felt it was ok to have a pink car seat. She's only in it for the first year or so anyway!
I heard lots of great reviews for the Symphony in Motion baby mobiles so ordered the remote control version today. I'm hoping that if it entertains baby for 15 minutes each day I can get a shower in during that time. Last but not least I ordered a baby monitor which looks like a hi tech walkie talkie so Kirk and I can use it to communicate when one of us is upstairs and the other downstairs. Oh, and of course it will be useful for baby's room.
All we have left to buy now is the moses basket, sheets for the basket, towels and then of course nappies, etc. Otherwise I'm all set! I know I won't relax until everything has arrived and has a home though. I love how organised I'm being, it's so unusual for me but a great feeling!
