I feel like I’m missing things that i need before my baby gets here and i cannot think of them at all!! Any specific last minute things that you made sure you had before your baby was here??

Just the big ones... car seat, bed, diapers and other toiletries, prepped meals, blankets, clothes washed, pacifiers sterilized, batteries...

Don’t stress too much. If you have forgotten something, it won’t take long for someone to pop to the shops for you to grab anything.

I agree! You think you need so much for the little one but you don’t. So don’t stress. Here are a few things I used the first couple weeks:
-Undershirts that open in the front/snap on the side with opening at the bellybutton for the stump so it doesn’t rub.
-2-3 swaddles
-3-6 nightgowns with elastic bottoms
-3 washcloths/ mitts
— 2-3 hooded towels
-12 burp cloths (you use more than you think)
- diapers bag
- diapers(don’t get a ton of the newborn size, you never know how long you will be using them)
- the hospital might give you some diapers, toiletries, wash basin (at least mine did)
- hats (their head needs to be covered)
- mittens (they scratch themselves)
-4 4 oz bottles (my little one was formula fed) I waited to buy formula until I knew what the hospital had given her, plus they gave me a lot of premade bottles and cans of formula powder.
-Boppy/nursing pillow
Hope that helps! You got this girl!! Congratulations!!!

Thank you so much ladies!!! All of this helped soo much!! I feel a lot better now for sure!!
