It seems so early to be thinking about this, but as we are slowly telling people we are pregnant, we are already getting offers of STUFF. We are starting from zero at the moment (save our little waffle onesie!), and we would like to stay as close to zero as possible.
The two things I really want to purchase/be gifted are cloth diapers and baby wearing apparati (wraps/carriers). I understand that we'll need a car seat, though it's not something I'm particularly excited about (just want something legal/safe). If possible, I'd like for that to be IT. Clothes mostly if not all hand-me-downs (DH would be happy if the LO was just in a diaper most of the summer, anyway...it gets hot here), maybe a baby thermometer?? I can't think of much else.
I'd like to avoid plastic stuff and swings/saucers/etc. as much as possible. will try to make this as clear as we can to people who offer (they've already been offering), and I'm guessing if we get gifted stuff, we can always just give it away...
