Me & Me
I'm nine weeks pregnant, and I already went shopping for baby stuff, in yellow because I don't know the sex. Is there anything you can think of that I could be missing? I'm not going to shop for clothes until I know the sex, though.
What I have bought:
Size 1 Pampers
Cherry wood crib that forms into a daybed, then toddler bed
Mattress
6 - 5 oz. baby bottles and extra nipples
Stage one toys and movies
Baby books
Infant car seat
Stroller
Changing Station
Baby hangers
Dresser
High Chair
Bouncer
Crib sheets and blankets
Reciving Blankets
Nursery Decor
Stuffed animals
Infant swing
Bibs
Burp-up Towels
Bottle scrub brush
Einstein Play Gym
Baby Moniter
Breast Pump and supplies
Safety gates
Safety Cabinet locks
Electric socket covers
Doctor suggested Medicines
Bathing Materials
Grooming Materials
Baby bath seat
Glider
Okay so I need a Bumbo seat, a Jumperoo, Newborn diapers, bigger bottles, a Boppy, a CD player and classical music and bible bedtime stories! Anything else?
Oh, Vaseline! Great idea!
I am planning to breastfeed, but I have to have bottles for when I go out to feed it with pumped breast milk.
Answer
There's a good chance you won't need newborn size diapers, they will give you some in the hospital and there's a good chance that by the time you are through those your wee one will be in size 1.
You will want a baby thermometer, a nasal aspirator, and infant acetaminophen (Tylenol). Those are things you will want to have on hand. I needed mine the week after I brought my little one home.
I would wait though, there's a good chance you will get many of those things as gifts.
There are some things on your list that you won't need:
Baby hangers - trust me, you won't use them longer then a few days.
Stuffed animals - they are a hazard in cribs and your baby won't even notice them until they are much older
Some of the things you will not need until MUCH later (play gym, toys and movies, safety gates, cabinet locks, outlet covers, bath seat, Bumbo (we have one that we didn't even use, I would wait to get that until you feel you NEED it, many babies won't even use one), high chair), but if you have the space to store it then it can't hurt.
I am not trying to bring you down or anything, but just trying to give you a realistic idea of what you need (and don't need).
Good luck :)

babysitting question?
music14
I've been babysitting this 3 year old boy for a couple days now, and I've run out of ideas. Whenever he comes to my house, I let him 'play' on the electric guitar, we color, play hide and seek, etc. But I'm running out of ideas? I babysat him today at his house, and he got bored quickly. He likes drawing/painting/coloring. He really likes 'connecting' things like papers with tape or toys. He likes puzzles too, but we've done all those things. Any ideas?

My brother is 3 & sounds te same way as him. Somedays we just put in a movie and relax. Some of his favorite are Toy Story,Cars, How to train a Dragon, Bolt, and Scooby Doo. I understand that not
all kids are the same and some won't sit still long enough to watch a movie. If he likes connecting things Mabye try blocks. He can construct and line up the blocks. For arts and crafts... try going online and finding printable coloring pages about stuff he likes. There are TONS of websites such as⦠www.coloringbookfun.com is a greAt one. Also take him outside and trace yourself on the sidewalk and decorate them⦠the kids I babysitt have loads of fun doing that. Also there are many online games for toddlers!
Good Luck(:
