LOL
too many to answer
baby bjorn with lumbar support
boppy
bottles, brushes, drying racks
passys
diaper bags; big for long days, small for quickies
formula if you ff
boppy covers
ultimate sheet saver
gerber waterproof lap pads
lots of diapers and wipes
diaper genie 2; don’t know what others do that say they smell, but ours sits a while sometimes before it is full bc i don’t always change her there and there is NO smell…
changing table with bins to organise things
thermometer, clippers, nasal bulb
tylenol, mylicon
dr brown’s formula pitcher
infant carrier ..mosquito netting to cover it and keep strangers hands off
play yard with bassinet
crib and nursery furniture
monitor
soothie passys
passy clips
socks
mittens
swaddle me wraps by kiddopotamus
toys
mirror for car to see them when they are faced to the rear
cloth diapers for burp cloths, bibs
prince lionheart diaper depot and warmer to match…easy
waterproof pads to go under sheets on crib and play yard
piddle pads
crib linens and play yard too
changing table pad with covers
covers for boppy
fan for white noise and now for decreasing sids
womb bear, she loves it
sleepnplays or onesies depending on your climate
a few cute outfits for going out
somewhere to do tummy time, a blanket will do
some way or a baby bath to wash baby; baby wash, towels and washcloths
frag and dye free laundry detergent
what to expect the first year,, good to read, good resource
batteries for everything, bouncy chair, swing if u need them, etc….we get rechargeable ones
if it is cold, thick blankets and a warm cover up
receiving blankets
baby hangers, regular and clips for outfits
lingerie bag to keep the socks and such from disappearing in the wash
board books
baby book
camera!!!
car seat, stroller
extra toy links, LOL; i am reaching here…..:)
a small trash can for the wet diapers so u don’t fill up the genie so fast and use less refills
desitin, regular in the purple box; it has more zinc oxide, which is what you want
?mobile changing station if ur house is a lil on the big side so u don’t have to go to the nursery all the time for a wet diaper…
mobile for crib..
dish detergent and some rubber gloves if u will be washing bottles…lots!
of course you can do without many of the things above, but they are really convenient…zipper sheets are nice too for crib..
ok, i am out of gas, hth; sorry it was a book….

Definitely a bouncer. That thing was a life saver for me until Lilah was about 5 months old! Other than that, just the "regular" basic stuff. Someone above me did a good job at that list. =)

Good luck and congrats!

for us it has been his bouncy seat…it has gotten him to sleep many times (when nothing else would work), relieved us all during supper so we could entertain him and allow us to all eat…and right now in general (for a little while longer at least) has been keeping him entertained some during the day so I can do some schoolwork…

Absolute musts on my list:

*Swing
*Pacifier(s)
*Baby Bjorn Carrier
*Diapers, Diapers, and more Diapers…shoot if it were possible to know the exact size of the child and you could break it up into quarters I’d be stocked up for a lifetime
*Also the thing that goes under the baby’s sheet on top of the mattress, its like a soft cushion that is waterproof (sorry don’t know the name)
