the main thing I loved that I didn't have for DS but borrowed from someone else was a swing. With this next bubs I have one on layby already!!!! it was a treasure & I got my parents to get Sister one & she said she couldn't live without it!! That & a decent baby bag, I went through several with DS til I found one the worked for me.
We lived very remote when DS was born & couldn't buy much so he didn't have a lot of cute outfits etc......I've since seen some lovely jumpsuits for both boys & girls at Target & know they won't be ther when I need them........thinking about putting on layby, then returning what I don't need LOL.
