It may be tricky because you don't know what ages you will be getting, but here we go...<br /><br />Our kiddopotamus "swaddler" which you use to swaddle a baby, complete with velcro so she can't undo it. Pinecone definitely sleeps better when wearing it.<br /><br />If a baby is sleeping with you, then a "sleep positioner" - we call it the bumper, which provides a cozy spot for baby with no risk of rolling onto her, and keeps her on her back. I think a little baby in a crib would like it too.<br /><br />We are hoping to get a vibrating baby seat to entertain/soothe her when she wants to be held all the time and we need to put her down. I don't have one yet, but everyone loves them.<br /><br />A babywearing device of some sort. We have 4! A moby wrap, new native sling, baby bjorn, and ergo. Great for walks and housework.<br /><br />A portable place for baby to sleep in your main living area. We have a bassinette and that works great. She is with us even when taking one of her many naps. She only goes up to the bedroom when we go to sleep.<br /><br />Target diapers are cheap and work good for us. For a small amount of $, you could get a pack of several sizes so you have some on hand.<br /><br />And of course, a changing table and car seat. Find your changing table on Craig's list.<br /><br />Anyway, how exciting and wonderful for you! I wish you 2 the best with this new phase of your journey.Evergreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02258314583046975642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962680694663953712.post-33893331903023180262009-08-16T06:39:04.137-07:002009-08-16T06:39:04.137-07:00No advice yet, just general luck and good wishes, ...No advice yet, just general luck and good wishes, hurrah! Someone I worked with in the spring adopted both her kids from foster care here.<br />I've been told the main things I need are a place for baby to sleep and a place to change diapers. People say it grows from there, but those are the main, early needs.poppy.f.seedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16554720099031063747noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962680694663953712.post-85754431611832073092009-08-15T08:43:32.924-07:002009-08-15T08:43:32.924-07:00Nice one! can't help you with the questions (...Nice one! can't help you with the questions (obviously) but great how it is all moving forward.Lizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07336643483655255680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1962680694663953712.post-50163204482938841532009-08-15T03:57:27.533-07:002009-08-15T03:57:27.533-07:00Wow, this is really happening, isn't it?
