What do I need for baby?  What was helpful?  What can I live without?  What should I be looking for?  Advice, please!

PS: I still love you all, even if I have taken up lurking.  :D

Blankets.Lots of cotton blankets. You can use them for everything.
I recommend cloth diapers and homemade wool diaper covers rather than disposable diapers or nasty rubber pants- cheaper and more comfy for baby not to mention better for diaper rash
1 thermometer-digital is good
tiny nail clippers (more than one because you WILL lose them)
1 car seat
a wind up baby swing - mine loved this and I found it incredibly helpful when writing or making dinner
gas drops(the only medicine I found necessary for my kids during their first years besides infant tylenol)
a basinette on rollers-

If you're breastfeeding I reccommend a good nipple cream
If you aren't I strongly recommend you use silicone nipples and glass bottles only (they are less fragile than you think and much better for baby)
