Bottle warmer - I found the bottles were always too hot.

Wipe warmer - dries out/burns the ones at the bottom and really, a cold wipe isn't that bad.

Swing, bouncy chair, exersaucer, pretty much all of the baby containment devices - these only came in handy when I was working with twins. I preferred holding/wearing infants when they were little and putting them in the crib, high chair or pack'n'play when I needed a moment to do something. I think that's more of a personal preference though.

Glowplanet, by prenatal monitor, do you mean home dopplers or some other device? I love my doppler - I have an anterior placenta which absorbs baby's movement. I'm starting my third trimester and still go days at a time without feeling anything. I felt like the $50 I spent on my doppler has been well worth the diminished anxiety.

I disagree with the Ektorp comments. I'm a nanny and one of my work families has the Ektorp couches and chairs. They've held up for years in a high-traffic area and still look and feel good. They're also easy to clean, which is a huge bonus with kids. That purchase makes sense to me, particularly if it'll be used in a low-traffic area post-nursery.
