Am I missing something? I feel like my brain is everywhere lmao

You definitely have all the essentials! Here's some other stuff we got for our first: Sheets unless you include that in the pack n play. Swaddles if you want them (the Velcro ones are easier during the night). Drying rack also just if you want it. Some basic medicines can be nice to have on hand for emergencies rather than having to go buy them, we got gripe water and Tylenol with our first, plus a thermometer.

When is your due date? Because same lol we are super behind!

didn’t even think about sheets or the rest! Thanks will be adding to my list, it’s my second child but feeling like a first time mom lol

12/10, atleast I know I’m not the only one cause where do I even begin lol def need to atleast get a box of diapers and some onesies 😂

Don’t worry too much mama! You have plenty of time :) I just had my first baby last July so I can help with some recs!
Car seat: think about getting something that can click into a base in your car that can be removed easily to take into places (your baby’s always going to sleep). We got one that could also click into a stroller and loved that feature too. Planing to use this same “travel system” for our December baby as well. As far as brand, do what you can for budget here. All car seats are equally as safe. The higher price they are, typically the better features/materials they have but none are more safe.
Bassinet: seriously don’t worry too much about this. Baby is in it for like 2 months. We used the baby bjorn one (I found on marketplace). I liked that it rocked if I pushed it, that helped settle baby the first couple weeks but it was super low to the ground and hard to get baby out for MOTN feeds. We moved to a pack and play in our room at 8 weeks through 7 months!

Pt 2:
Bassinet: I’d say pick something that has a zip down side and adjustable to your bed height (especially if you are breast feeding). Otherwise don’t worry too much!
Bouncer: this one is tricky because your baby could hate whatever you chose to invest in! We got the expensive 4moms electric bouncer and barely used it. This time I’m planning to also get a baby bjorn bouncer because it’s light and I can move it room to room changing around my 1 year old 😂
Also planning to have this baby in a wrap pretty much always haha. I loved all my cloth wraps (honestly none more than others and I had many brands). Once you learn how to wrap it, it’s super easy and comfy for you and baby.

I haven't really gotten anything either,but I started a list on the babylist app

It's a registry thats linked to Amazon, Walmart, Target, etc. It helps to give you prompts on essentials things you'd need for baby.

I started my registry early on but I still have no clue exactly how the baby shower thing is going to go. Time has been flying there’s been so much going on feel like I’m running out of time lol

thank you 😊 I don’t even think I’m going to get the bassinest anymore, had one for my first and did not use it at all. I’ll just get a pack play that has the bed attached!
I never wrapped but im planning to for this baby and im excited 😅

right, this is my second pregnancy and it’s crazy how time is flying! I want to get the important items out of the way already bc ATP I don’t even think I’ll do a baby shower
