Also, probably a toddler bed for LO so that we don't ever have to disassemble the awful mess that is the crib. Oh, and a video monitor. That would have been SO helpful during the thick of sleep training, and even now with a toddler on the verge of lunging out of her crib. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wishwant-list-before-baby-2-arrives#post-1491155 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 10:12:07 +0000 Silva 1491155@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I started a list to help me remember, but it won't be for 2+ years!</p> <p>-a ring sling<br /> -a video monitor (we will be in a bigger place then, didn't need one this time)<br /> -wool sleep sack<br /> -rock and play<br /> -wool baby clothes if baby comes in fall/winter (we had a couple for this LO in bigger sizes and I loooooved putting her in wool.)<br /> -diaper covers (the elastic in ours is wearing out)</p> <p>That's it! We will be waiting long enough that all the gear from this one (crib, etc) will be free for new baby to use.

We needed to buy warmer clothes since they were born during different seasons, but we shopped exclusively at thrift stores so that wasn't a big deal.</p> <p>We transitioned DS1 to a toddler bed and he kept his mattress, so we bought a new mattress and mattress pad for DS2, and an extra camera for the monitor. DS1 also got a big dresser for Christmas, so DS2 got DS1's old baby changing table/dresser combo. </p> <p>We had to buy all new pacifiers for DS2 because he'll only take 1 brand, which is NOT the same brand that DS1 liked.</p> <p>Other than that.... pretty much nothing. DS1 never really used a stroller anyways, so we never bothered with a double, and for other gear, toys, clothes, etc. we just reused what we'd had from DS1. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wishwant-list-before-baby-2-arrives#post-1490810 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 08:49:58 +0000 autumnlove 1490810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Aandmklover: I was surprised at how long that list was....I usually only remember the big stuff like crib, stroller, dresser! :P </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wishwant-list-before-baby-2-arrives#post-1490800 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 08:47:12 +0000 Mamasig 1490800@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Mine will be 20 months apart. I want to get the following:<br /> A double stroller - at a total loss as to which one to get<br /> A swing - we didn't have a good one with DS<br /> New wash cloths and towels<br /> New nipples for bottle<br /> Some nursery decor with his name</p> <p>I already bought some new clothes and monogrammed bibs and burp cloths. He's mainly getting his brother's hand me downs but I wanted to get him some special stuff just for him. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wishwant-list-before-baby-2-arrives#post-1490546 Thu, 13 Mar 2014 02:00:27 +0000 PinkElephant 1490546@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Due in less than 2 months w/ #2; my #1 will also be 22 months:</p> <p>New diaper bag w/better organization<br /> Second changing pad<br /> Second crib/mattress/bedding (there's no way DD is going into the toddler bed we bought...sigh)<br /> Buggy board for our primary stroller<br /> More towels and washclothes<br /> Preemie size clothes (DD was tiny tiny tiny)<br /> Diapers/Wipes<br /> Extra nightlight<br /> Dual view video monitor<br /> New bottle teats, pacifiers, pump parts, milk bags, breast pads, etc<br /> Some new decor - I bought wall art but am eying a mobile</p> <p>We've bought some of this ourselves (big items) and have left a list of smaller things with the friend who is planning our not really a shower baby party and can tell anyone asking about gifts what we might like/need </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wishwant-list-before-baby-2-arrives#post-1490492 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 23:41:52 +0000 mrskc 1490492@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Hmmm I can't think of much right now. I know I want to get a rock n play for #2. And I definitely want to get her some girly clothes. I already purchased a Tula carrier since I'm thinking baby wearing #2 while out with #1 will be easier. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wishwant-list-before-baby-2-arrives#post-1490478 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 23:22:14 +0000 Aandmklover 1490478@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So after I posted this I made two separate lists to show DH so he doesn't get overwhelmed. I made a must have list and a wish list. My wish list has almost all of the really expensive things and my must have list are a lot lower price points but we must have for the next one. I can not wait to start checking things off. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wishwant-list-before-baby-2-arrives#post-1490473 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 23:17:11 +0000 Aandmklover 1490473@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@daniellemybelle: we are team green this time so we are waiting on clothes. We have plenty if it's a boy but nothing if it's a girl. DS was in newborn for forever. He's tiny. Like under the charts. Great list!</p> <p>@Mrs. M: I was just talking about a nursing basket with my husband last night. Yes I really want to do one of those too! We will need another mattress and pads and sheets, thanks, I didn't even think of that. We are going to make DS a toddler room. Pirates. I'm excited for him. </p> <p>@autumnlove: wow! That's a list. I didn't even think about diaper pails liners. I'm lucky instill have my Tommee Tippee bottles from DS but I know I need all new nipples. I have a dresser in my garage I need to get DH to refinish for me. Maybe when it's not 20* or less. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wishwant-list-before-baby-2-arrives#post-1490455 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 22:47:03 +0000 autumnlove 1490455@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I bought a dresser, changing pad, crib, crib mattress, wipe warmer, newborn diaper covers, more cloth wipes, a few newborn outfits, pumping bags, cloth diaper pail liners, crib sheet, Tommee Tippee bottles, changing pad cover, double stroller, infant adapter for my BOB stroller, hooded towels, drawer organizers and a Rock n Play. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wishwant-list-before-baby-2-arrives#post-1490453 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 22:45:18 +0000 Mrs. M 1490453@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Following!</p> <p>On my list so far is another camera for our monitor system, a double stroller, newborn diapers and wipes, an extra waterproof mattress pad, toys/activities to make nursing baskets for LO#1, and Vitamin D drops. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wishwant-list-before-baby-2-arrives#post-1490446 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 22:37:58 +0000 daniellemybelle 1490446@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Great thread! My list for baby #2 (not on the way, just things I know I will want/need) is:</p> <p>- More newborn clothes. Everyone told me I didn't need newborn clothes so I had like 5 things &amp; none that I really loved, and she didn't go up to 0-3 months things until she was 7 weeks!<br /> - Sleepers that zip. Ain't nobody got time for snaps.<br /> - Fisher Price Cradle &amp; Swing. We're borrowing one now but I definitely want one of our own next time.<br /> - Halo sleepsack swaddles in Newborn. Again, ain't nobody got time for swaddling! We only had one of these in Newborn size but I will be starting out with these from the beginning. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wishwant-list-before-baby-2-arrives#post-1490222 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 19:55:05 +0000 Aandmklover 1490222@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Veggiemama: Wow! It's a great idea to borrow a double if possible. Unfortunately, I'm the first to have a second child so I can be the helpful friend in the future.<br /> I also want to look into a second R&amp;P on my facebook Momtomom site. Also to have one on each floor. I'd like another one but I don't want to pay full price.<br /> I have storage bags left from DS </p> <p>Great ideas! Thanks so much! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wishwant-list-before-baby-2-arrives#post-1490201 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 19:45:36 +0000 Veggiemama 1490201@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I loved my Ergo, I got it when #1 was around 9 months and used it so much with #2 too! </p> <p>On my list for #2 were:<br /> More side snap t-shirts and onesies - I never felt as if I had enough the first time!<br /> NB diapers/wipes<br /> More cloth wipes (we use CD after the first month)<br /> Freezer bags for storing pumped milk </p> <p>I also borrowed an extra bouncy seat to have one for each floor of our house. </p> <p>About the stroller, I borrowed a stroller for the first few months while I figured out what I wanted for a double. It was helpful because I ended up disliking the one I borrowed (baby trend sit n'stand) and although it was helpful for the first couple months because it fit my infant carseat I was glad I didn't purchase it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wishwant-list-before-baby-2-arrives#post-1490189 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 19:39:57 +0000 Aandmklover 1490189@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@californiadreams:<br /> Thanks! I really just want it for the my bathroom. I have this spot it will fit perfectly so I can shower with DS in P&amp;P and the new one in a bouncer or R&amp;P or later put the #2 in the P&amp;P while DS naps or something. I don't plan to use it as a place to sleep like bassinet. Silly, I know. :happy: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wishwant-list-before-baby-2-arrives#post-1490174 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 19:31:12 +0000 californiadreams 1490174@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>i had the graco travel light PandP and did not like it much. Maybe it is because my LO went through a major sleep regression when we tried to use it, but he did not seem comfortable in there at all. I ended getting the baby bjorn travel crib and it is 100x better! just wanted to let yo u know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/wishwant-list-before-baby-2-arrives#post-1490158 Wed, 12 Mar 2014 19:19:59 +0000 Aandmklover 1490158@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>What's on your wish/want list before baby #2 arrives? </p> <p>I want to get some ideas from other people so I don't forget anything. </p> <p>Things on my list include:<br /> New pump tubing/valves (a need)<br /> Ergo Baby Carrier (We had a cheep $13 one with DS and I know we/I will want to carry this one a a lot)<br /> Toddler bed for DS (17m Now 22m when #2 arrives)<br /> Graco Ready2Grow Stroller<br /> Graco Travel light P&amp;P </p> <p>Please help me! What am I forgetting?</p> <p>Side note: This is a personal list. We do not plan on sharing this with anyone. We were given a beautiful show for DS and we were gifted tons. By "wish" I mean if we can budget/afford it before baby comes. :happy: </p>
