Baby Number 2.......HELP
It's been over 3 years since I had a baby registry for a new baby coming...I need all your mommy input. We have so much stuff from Lily Jane we are not sure what else we need especially anything different for a baby BOY... We need your help.. Also, I have seen so many new things they have come up with that not sure what we need. If you have your top pick of 3 items what would they be?????? Any advice we would love for a boy!!!

Mommy Momment
1. Sofie
the Girafe teething ring
Due to Lily Jane’s constant teething symptoms, she wants to chew- nonstop.
2. Aveeno baby products
Lily Jane’s has had a bout of eczema this winter and although the doc gave us a prescription ointment, these products cleared up the eczema overnight.
3. Bumbo seat & tray
You could probably do without this seat, but we use it to feed solids. She is just now getting the hang of the spoon so unless I want splattered and spit baby food all over her fabric items (or my sofa), this has worked out great for meals. It is easy to wipe down and carry along with you. Plus, you can probably find one used for a good price.
4. Tadpoles playmat
I love this thing. So much so that I bought a second one. You can configure it however you would like, and it is super comfy for little bit's head, knees, whatever. Since we aren't crawling yet, I have a little section in my living room, a little in her playroom and a section at the nanny's house so she always has somewhere to lie down and play without worrying about germs, hard surfaces, etc.
5. Baby Einstein exersaucer
Lily Jane LOVED her exersaucer. She will occupy herself so I can take a shower, I can move it into the kitchen while I do dishes (nope, not cooking), and she is so proud of herself now that she is figuring out how to use all of the parts to it. We still haven't gotten the "bouncing" part yet, but like her momma, she is a midget and can't really reach the floor yet. We will get there.
6. Boppy Lounger
I first saw this item when I went to pick baby up from daycare and she was chillin on her tummy on this thing. It is awesome. When baby is too big for the boppy, get the lounger. We can sit on the couch with the lounger next to us, and have Lily Jane lie on her back in the little "nook" and feed her her bottle. It makes it super easy and she will just chill in it. Sometimes even fall asleep.
7. 4moms Breeze Pack'n'Play
This sucker is kinda heavy, but it is still amazeballs. It isn't fugly with all kinds of crap on it, it is super easy to open and close, and we personally use it a lot. Weekends at friends' houses and being at a nanny's house every day calls for a place to nap. She seems to do really well with the Breeze.
8. Oball Rattle ball
As soon as Lily Jane started grasping things, it was on like Donkey Kong. I just happened to grab this ball one day while shopping so she could have something to occupy her in the store. She loved it. Best thing ever. Because of all of the holes, she could easily hold onto the ball. The little beads make it rattle for interest, and it is made out of a rubber so she can bang herself in the head a million times with it. This probably could have been the only toy we had in the house for many many weeks.

1st Month Must Haves!!
I have had a lot of e-mails from Mommies that are expecting wanting to know what were the best things that they need. Everyone is different but wanted to share what I really used and loved!! I would love for other Mommies to share what they used :)
As a new mom there are many things people told me I need for the first month, so I went out and bought a lot of stuff or registered for a lot of it. For the first month there was a lot of stuff that I did not need but there were some must haves that I could not have survived without. I will tell you though everyone's must haves are different but use what you need and get a feel for what you baby likes :)

1. Lansinoh Lanolin cream- Could have not done without this
2. Munchkin Disposable Changing Pads- Lily Jane often uses the bathroom
after we take the diaper off so this helps us not have to wash the
chaining pad every time
3. Rock'n Play Sleeper- Lily Jane slept in this for 5-6 months
4. Nursing Tank Tops
5. Sound Machine
6. Miracle Blanket- Lily Jane loved being swaddled but would get out all the time so this would allow her to stay swaddled
7. Nursing Sport bras
