Baby Gear

[ghoulsis]

Ok moms, I need your advice: I've compiled a list of stuff I think we need to register for. Here are my questions: am I missing anything crucial? Is there stuff on this list that I probably don't actually need?

I'd like to avoid what happened at our wedding -- namely, that people got us lots of "fun" stuff when really what we needed was more towels. So I've tried to narrow it down to what are probably the absolute necessities.

The stuff in parentheses we already have -- either because they were gifted to us by other parents, or we went ahead and got them already (usually secondhand). Thanks!!
