Okay, since there's a few of you who are gonna want to give a baby gift (or several, in the case of grandparents!), here's a tentative list of things we're planning on doing, so you can work out what to get and what not to get.
"But what about this or that or the other?" Um, yeah, that's why I said it's tentative. No way could a first time mother remember EVERYTHING she needs for her baby, even if some do tend to over-plan the whole event... I'm finding myself wanting to buy things, plan things, organise things, but it's kinda hard to do without a house to store all the stuff in. So we wait until Christmas, I guess...
- I want to pick out the cot/crib and the car seat ourselves, but anything else is fine to be a surprise.
- We're using cloth nappies/diapers.
- We won't be using a dummy/pacifier.
- No pink. Even if it's a girl.
- I don't want to bother with a pram/stroller at first, but a baby sling/carrier would be GREAT.
- All the normal stuff, like clothes and blankets and stuffed toys and nappy bag.
