Fedupithink - ooooh - the storkSac looks fab (and I love the name too) - I suspect I'm being naive - but I want my husband to get nearly as much use out of the changing bag as I do. He's v disorganised so it will be good to give him the bag & the baby & let him loose on the world!! I really like the idea of a midwife lead centre - but I suspect they may want me in hospital due to age - but who knows?
C&M - I think a section with twins is a pretty good idea - apparently if you have one vaginally the extra room often makes the second one reluctant to move into place & you end up with a c-section for the second.
Latinata - ha - glamorous & fulfilled - truly hope that a changing bag can create this apparition. In fact I might buy one now just in case!!!
Looking at the baby cocoon nest thing to go either inside a cot or carrycot etc. - I think I prefer it to a grow bag & like the fact that you can uncover your baby without waking them up. My husband & I both like our house really hot - including at night, am assuming the princeling will feel the same.
Helena troy - yes I think there is a list. But I think (in my very wide experience of having absolutely no experience of babies at all!!!) that less is more. And with the speed of internet delivery you can get things so fast. So somewhere to sleep and a car seat are the must haves (unless you are having a home birth - in which case you can do without the car seat!!) - and probably a way of transporting the baby (pram and/or sling) - and a place/mat to change on. I'm not going to buy many newborn clothes at all as I believe babies grow fast (that's assuming the breastfeeding works!!) - and I reckon people love to buy newborn clothes as presents. If I find myself short of them I will just buy on eBay I think.
