I feel like i had a realistic view of what I actually needed by watching all my other preggo friends... so I've managed to live without ever owning a wipe warmer, a diaper genie, a bottle warmer, the stupid little mittens they put on a newborns hands (I still don't get this), and I'm sure a bunch of other miscellaneous stuff.

I DID buy in to the whole Bumbo thing - and ended up returning it when the kiddo was only 3 months old. He didn't use it once because the first time I even thought about using it, he was already too big for it! I have a stocky lil' man though - so maybe that's not the case for everyone.

90% of the plastic toys we've received as hand-me-downs or as gifts are totally unnecessary. We try to rotate them in and out so they don't completely go to waste - but I feel awful for even having them in our house. Such a waste of plastic.

I have been looking for a Calder inspired mobile since I found out about the little bean we're expecting any day now! Wish I didn't miss out on the contest... I totally can't spend that on a mobile right now. Maybe I'll craft one up :)
