The most important thing I needed when Alyssa was little was what you already said, Diapers, wipes, extra clothes in diaper bag, burp rags(lots of them) and passifier. If i had those things we were good! I know that you will make a great mom. Just go with what you feel is right and you will be a great mom for your little one!!!

Wasters: Wipe warmer, diaper genie. I never had a wipe warmer, but friends who did said it was a waste. I used the diaper genie for awhile, but it was such a pain changing the bag that I just went to diapers in Wal-mart bags, into the trash. I loved the pack and play! Both of my kids slept in the pack and play in my room until they were sleeping through the night at about 8 weeks. Then they went into the crib. Pack and plays are great for trips!

Babies R Us was sooo intimidating for me. I registered with another Mom who was able to walk me through and point out the stuff that she found most helpful. Everyone's different. So you might find that some stuff is more useful to you than others. For instance, if you plan on bottle feeding rather than breastfeeding--then bottles, bottle brushes, and a safe bottle cleaner should be pretty high on the list. On the flip side, if you plan on breastfeeding, then a breast pads, breast pump, and nursing wrap are very helpful. The nursing wrap basically gives you coverage when you need to breastfeed in public. I don't leave home without it! Another thing that I did not leave home without was my sling. It just made it so much easier for me to carry the baby in a sling rather than lugging him in a car seat wherever I went. That was my personal preference. Peanut Shell makes some cute slings:: www.thepeanutshell.com. There are a ton of different carriers too. Check out Amazon for cheapies. Also, I've found that floor mat gyms come in handy if you want a clean place to put the baby down when he starts being able to sit up and crawl.
As far as wasters go, wipe warmers are a joke. As soon as you take it out, it gets cold. Pointless. Resist the urge to register for every single cute outfit in sight because you will get alot and I mean...ALOT. Just pick out a few favorites in different sizes up to 12 months. That way people will see the styles you like. Another waster, baby hangers. It's easier to just fold 'em and put them in a dresser. Changing table is nice but not necessary. Cribs can be used for diaper changing too. Another waster would be baby nail clippers. They are too dull to cut nails. An adult nail clipper works fine.
Well I guess that's probably way more than you asked for :) lol...but I hope it helps. Btw, I'm so excited for you!
There's a book called "Best Baby Products" written by Consumer Reports that was very helpful for me. Borders and B&N would have it.

Well you will need some things made by your good friend Becky...that should do it! :-) I think as long as you have diapers and food for the baby you will be fine.

That is so sweet! Happy Mothers Day to your mom!

You do have a good mom! : )

That is sweet, Jill. It is hard to be away from moms!

I think she is pretty great also! We have some great times junkin'. :-)

this post made me happy =)

Hooray! So you are saying that everyone should leave you alone for the next month right? :-) Does he have some kind of graduation? Funny that it would be on the 20th. That day always sticks out for me...your birthday, my birthday... :-)

Congrats! :)

Yay! That will make things so much more fun! Enjoy your wedding video! It is fun to see things from a different perspective.

normal life for a while! :)

not you, you've got it all worked out...mathematically

Yes, but how many seconds passed by while you were posting?

^Well, it wasn't really exact when I posted it originally either. It was to show that I have the ability to multiply measurements of time :D

Yay! And now you are even closer!

Um, I was in the room when the teaching schedule was made and you wanting to teach only 1 quarter definitely didn't come up. Actually, I seem to remember us thinking, "how can we royally mess up Jill's life" :)

BTW, would you like me to make an announcement tonight that everyone should quit calling you "old married woman"?

I know what you mean. We were looking forward to being in the same class together, then Jen got called to fill in. Hope the time passes quickly for you!

I love being in Bible Class with Aaron, it seems though the past year to year and half one of us has been teaching, I've had class or something. But I love teaching bible class too. So glad he will be home soon!

Since when have surveys meant anything?? Seriously though, scheduling the new teachers is not a complicated job and I'm sure everything was quite accidental. If that happens again, just let us know when the schedules come out so we can fix it. FIX IT!

Ugh, I don't know how you are living three hours away! That sounds like a horrible amount to me! I'm glad you are almost done with it though and you can begin living together!!

I am sure you are anxious for your reunion! 'Absence makes the heart grow fonder' is so much easier said than done!

So... you're saying I shouldn't have signed you up for the Wednesday night exhortation?

thanks! still totally trying to get used to being down 12 inches! 10 of which went to a wig! :) 22 days my dear! :)

I know you treasure your time together. God will continue to give you strength to endure what you must until you are together.
