Let's be honest: there are way too many "must have" baby items being shoved in our faces. By the time we were pregnant with our first, I was determined not to take on the unnecessary junk that would just take more precious room in our already too-small dwelling.
To start, I made a strategic registry... Like there was not a single onesie to be found. Let me tell you, if there's a onesie on the registry, some Great Aunt Ruth is going to get it. Even if it isn't on the registry, trust me, there will be at least five onesies gifted. That's why I only put the essentials. We even had cloth diapers, and someone BOUGHT THEM. Honestly that alone saved us thousands.
So take a look at my list. Now as a mom of three, I stand firm in this decision. I wouldn't have changed a thing.
