Now that 6 months and a half have flew by we need to sort out what we REALLY need for our new arrival and for me after birth.
So hubby and I have outlined this PDF checklist here to give us an idea of what we need.
We have decided to go for quality rather than quantity. I don't want to get crappy stuff that you throw away after a few months. I'd rather invest in something slightly more expensive that can be useful for a longer time. We do not want to get every thing imaginable for the baby (2 strollers, a pram, baby gym, loads of toys and entertainment material etc) but rather get the essential.
The checklist will help us move in the right direction and hopefully we won't get too excited when we start looking at the baby accessories and get things that we might never use.
After all you need to find a storing space for them when the baby grows out/bored of them.

Q. Since I became pregnant, my breasts, rear-end, and even my feet have grown. Is there anything that gets smaller during pregnancy?
A. Yes, your bladder.
