Is this a good Get Before The Baby Comes list?

I’m coming up with all I should buy, heres what I got so far:
Carrier/Sling
Bassinet (I was thinking of using mine from when I was a baby, I know my mom would give it to me, and it’s in very good shape)
Baby bath soup/lotion/shampoo/powder
Bath tub
Bottles&nipples (I’ll breast feed but like just incase, so only two or three, like if I go out one night)
Bouncy chair&Swing
Changing Table
Cloth Diapers (I’m using disposable, but like to put on my should when burping and such)
Crib
Diaper bag
Diaper pail
Baby wipes
Diapers (like three packs)
Hooded bath towels
Car seat
Stroller
Thermometors (I think I want to get the ones you roll across the head)
Lots of onesies
6 sleepers
Lots if socks and booties
3 hats
Lots of bibs
3 undershirts
3 light weight blankets
2 blankets
soft washcloths
Combs
Baby nail clippers
Pacifiers
Nasal Aspirator
Sun shades for car
Breast pads
V-shaped cushion
Breast Pump
Sterilizing equipment
toys
Coat/jacket
4 pants, 3 shirts

Anything else I should get?
Also, should I ask my mom for the guest room to turn it into the baby room (which is another room away from mine, my sisters is in the middle), or should I try to fix my room up to fit me and the baby, or should I ask my mom for the basement (which is finished, nothing is down there, my parents don’t use it, it’s just empty rooms and a bathroom, and a work out room, with a place that a small kitchen could be built, and it’s walk out)?
Oh! If I toke the basement then me and the baby would be there, it has about two rooms, an open area and a kind of like sun room.
I don’t know about a baby shower…My friends are mostly guys, the girl friend I had is dating the dad now, so I wouldn’t really have anyone to invite besides my mom and cousins wife haha

We had horrible red carpet in the spare room of the house that we just bought and decided to get rid of it. Now we are getting the room ready for baby #2 and don’t know what route is better. We have heard good and bad for both choices. The floors are in pretty good shape and would just need a little sanding and then some stain and poly.

Why am I in shape but not do any pull ups?

I am planning on joining the Marines and pull ups are very important in their training. I am very good shape, i can crank out at least up to 50 push ups in under 3 minutes and can bench press 195 pounds. But i can only do 2 pull ups. Why? And how could i improve this number?

My husband and I are currently shopping for baby gear. I am due end of this summer. We wanted to buy a crib and have decided on Graco sarah 4-in-1 convertible crib. Some of my friends took the same model from Walmart but currently the lowest price seems to be available at amazon.

My question is – If it is okay to order baby gear online? If its a branded item, will it arrive in good shape and safe? or do u recommend I pay more and take it from a store?

Thanks!

Hey New Mommies,

Okay heres the story .. I had a baby 3 months ago, and during my pregnancy I gained a whopping 60lbs… Before i got preggo i was a very happy size 7 and 135lbs. Now im size 11/12 and 170lbs.Since i had the baby i’ve only gotten down to 170 which was what i weighed in at the dr’s at my last appt on January 20th. It has now been two months and since have not lost 1lb, ughhh.. I grateful that my boby has changed due to a beautiful blessing of a babygirl. But my self esteem on my body is horrible. I;ve been eating right and trying to get a workout in as much as i can. But we all know how hard it is with a new baby. But i refuse to hide myself this summer. I want this to give me the most motivation to get in really good shape so at my next pregnancy i will be in much better shape and will know how to control my eating ..Ha Ha. I hate my clothes My taste in clothes has changed so much since i had the baby.. and my closet is full of junior clothes styles, and to go shopping and spend $$$ on clothes that might not fit in a month or so b/c of weight loss would be a waste. I want to shop when im happy with my body again. Any tips to help get my weight down.
I will say that i def losing inches and my waist is getting back to that hour glass shape which im happy about. Its my butt and thighs that need the TLC. :-) … I wouldnt mind so much a small waist and lil wider hips i just want to loose the FAT !!!.. and feel sexy again.

Please help girls… I know it was alot but im really in the dumps…

I want to order my daughter some cute spring outfits from babygap before the ones I want go out o size/color. I have some see kai run shoes and lots o baby gap clothing from last spring that i could part with. We are currently about 2 months off from out wedding and my fiance refuses to give me any money for spring clothing until after the wedding. I will need about at least 0 for the things that I want. Hopefully I could make a bit more so I could order some things from Janie and Jack as well. I’ve never bought/sold anything on ebay before so since I know you pay to list things I wanted to see if I could get an idea of how likely I might be at selling these things. All of her clothing is in wonderful shape, the shoes are also in pretty good shape, not excelent buy good. Also do you think I would be better off listing each piece individually or should I group all of the items? Any tips would be very much appreciated.
