My bubba moe sling... DD is 3.5months and we still use it most days. We got a swing about a month ago but wish we had got it at 3 wks when I tried her in one at the baby shop. Big expensive items like swing i would try your baby in first as a couple of friends babies don't like them where DD is in heaven with hers.

I also suggest something like infants friend, a medicine dropper and thermometer as you generally need something in the middle of the night when shops are closed.

All the best for the birth of your precious bundle.
