So little time to get ready, and thankfully the list-of-things-to-buy can be small too!

From the above doc, some specific recommendations:
1. Invest in a good sound machine. (This one's great too, and so is this one. A portable white noise machine is great too!)
2. I love swaddles and I want all the muslins all the time. Plus, they can act as baby-carriers and spit-up-cloths and poop-explosion-savers and so many more fun things. (Be sure to get some flannel too if you want to do the double swaddle.)
3. If you insist on getting 'pre-made' swaddles/sleep sacks, definitely check out Halo.
4. Maybe you've got that big, lovely change pad, but having some waterproof change pads (or straight up puppy pads) to leave around the house to change in other places can be a great idea too.
5. These are my favourite baby wipes but remember to air-dry after using to avoid rashes!
6. Boba wraps are the go-to for lots of families and I love them! You can explore a less expensive option like this one (and don't worry about brand names because all stretchy wraps are pretty much the same)
7. An electric nail trimmer for babe like this would be awesome!
8. Here are some short-sleeve onesies, here are some long-sleeve ones
9. Here's a good ol' underarm thermometer
10. Of course the Nanit is a super popular baby monitor, but I personally prefer the non-wifi monitors like this one
11. Don't stress about getting the baby bottles that mimic the breast because that's just a marketing ploy. Just get bottles you like (I'm a fan of glass bottles) and be sure to pacefeed
