HELP!
So I have the most wonderful sister in the whole wide world who let us borrow EVERYTHING when Liberty was born, well this time around we are both having babies and so I feel like we are having our first all over again. We now have to go and get all the must have baby items before this baby gets here. The ONLY thing we have bought for this new baby is a double stroller haha, So all you moms out there let me know what you love and loved when you had your babies. Thanks!

I have an infant carseat, brand new. I also just got a butt load of coupons in the mail for babies r us if you need them.
Sorry Amy :( It just means you get to go SHOPPING!!! And I 'll go with you, I love to shop.
a mini co-sleeper is my MUST have item. i could not do it without. i feel a little like i am starting over to. i got rid of my stroller and carseat. i didn't use a swing or bouncer with vance but they are nice to have. i think i want to get a pump this time. i need a sling too. i found a stroller i want, just have to save $ now. =) good luck!
my mom and i are going to make a carseat cover, i am borrowing the carseat from my SIL. Take Ash's carseat and do the same?
I have a baby tub and baby swing that I am about to take to DI. They are old - I've had them since Ryan, but if you want them they are FREE!
Oh, and I have a bouncer you can have. It's not too old, I bought it when I had Ally.
You can also borrow my bumbo and tray, but I will want them back in case I have another baby (they are expensive).
If I think of anything else, I'll let you know!
I wish I could give you a moby wrap, but its an amazing thing to invest in! I love, love, love my moby and I'm so glad I have it. If I wasn't having a kid, I would say take it please!
I love my BOB double stroller. it is big but so wonderfull to drive. you hardly push it.
Ok, I love having a bouncer and a bumbo when my babies arent mobile. The swing worked REALLY well with Hayley during her colic days but Andy never liked it. I have an extra moby wrap if you'd like it. I made it myself for like $15 from walmart but I dont know what Id do without it after having the 2nd kid. I go grocery shopping with 2 kids A LOT and I need to have Hayley buckled into the cart (or shes running down every aisle). The moby wrap was SO much more comfortable than a baby bjorn because the weight is distributed between your back and shoulders. I also have an extra sling (my other fav item) that is just plain grey but you can borrow that too! (the moby wrap you can have and not borrow).
Hopefully that helps!
My response might be a little different, but these are the things I have found useful with 2 children in the house:
Kohl's clearance is a must have (hit up the back of the store--the other day I found adorable outfits for 60-80%off...entire outfits for super cheap ($4, $2.80, etc)...some are obviously more than that, but with 2 children, the better the deal, the better on your budget.
Also, I use the Huggies rewards program. Inside each package is a number that earns you points, and eventually you add them up & get coupons for a free package of swim diapers or something.
I have found a simple plain little notebook very handy to jot down the funny things Tyson says and that Emmett does, so I don't forget the good parts of my days. : )
I also like the website hip2save.com, and coupons have made my financial life a little easier with 2 kids...
And a working humidifier...those are necessary. : )
I love co-sleepers as well. I also love mustella baby lotion and wash. Must have Lanolin cream for your nippies, and I would not have survived without a breast pump with this one. I love having a baby carrier, because when you have a newborn and a toddler a double stroller is not my favorite.
Hooter hider, burp clothes and lots of them, swaddling blankets, full battery on all cameras, breast milk storage bags, heating pads for your poor boobies.
Last but not least some great movies for you and some fun new books and maybe movies for your little Liberty. Go to the Library and get and extended checkout on them, you can't beat free.
Love you! Good luck! I love new babies, and I am so GLAD you get your hubby during the transition, it'll be tough but you are tougher. And I m always here if you want to talk. ;0)
Love you!
