I am due in 3 weeks and just dug up our old car seat from my last child and I am looking to see if it has expired.. I have no idea how old it is because it was given to us second hand. Its a graco infant seat 5-20 lbs if that helps?

Hello I am 23 weeks w/ a baby girl, and we are going shopping later with exactly 0 (we are careful budgeters). Obviously that is not enough for baby items lol, because we have been doing our shopping gradually, spending small amounts of money at a time. This is our first child, so I have NO IDEA what I really need.
Some things I have already gotten:
- Stroller
- Car seat
- Diaper pail
- Bedding Set
- Crib matress cover
- 5 outfits (were obviously getting more)
- A few pairs of socks
- Diaper bag
- Baby bath tub
- Hooded towels / Washcloths
My dad is buying her crib as his baby gift, but I need to know what else I need!!
