The Bumper Baby List!

[sapphiredragon]

So while both my partner and I have been extremely lucky so far in that most of the big baby items we need, we have been able to get from friends and relatives, as we get down to within the final 70 days ( can you believe 68 days till EDD?), there are still bits and pieces that we will need before the big day arrives.

So together with the help of a number of baby sites ( mostly tried to stick with Aussie sites), I have put together a list i what I and these other baby sites have decided we still need to get. The purpose of this list is not only so i can keep track of what I still need and mark off as I receive but this can also be used as the list for anyone looking to buy stuff for the baby ( i.e. for baby shower or if people are feeling generous :P).

So The basic part of the list is just the generic item i.e. change table, cot set, bath then today I have also gone to my local shopping centre to all the shops that sell baby items and taken prices for specific items so people have a ball park figure of what each item might cost as well as some idea of things i liked the look of and also slighly more frivolous items that I though were cute or cool and should list. You may (or may not ) notice i have a bit of a Winnie the Pooh fetish so many items do feature Winnie or his friends :)

I will continue to add specific items and photos where possible as I check out a few more baby shops and experienced mothers, if you see something that is not on the list that you think should be, please let me know :)
