Look of the day and things I've been grateful for

I had a really hard time when i was pregnant deciding what I needed for baby. So here is a list of what I have found useful and what I haven't:
Love:

• change table with bath - this has been awesome. It was given to us and there would of been no way I would of bought a change table as I thought they were overrated and a change mat would suffice. I use it ALL the time, and we just wheel it into the bathroom to give Baby G her bath! I bought a nice cover for it from Toy World that makes it look a little more nicer.
• Baby bath support - this is a terri towelling support vs the hard ones you can get.  It makes bath times so much easier :-).
• Fisher Price Cradle N Swing - previously blogged about - bubba g didnt really like this until now (4 weeks), now falls asleep in it, looks at herself in the mirror and loves the mobiles YAY
• vibrating bouncer, the batteries just went flat in this and now bubba G does not love it so much, need new batteries STAT.
• wraps, wipes, bibs - G is a milk spitter upperer, I highly suspect all babies are ;-).  We have a billion of these and I am just about to buy some more they are so handy!
• a Swaddle, I bought this from Babies R Us.  I dont like swaddles but there is no denying when baby is inconsolable you need to swaddle them and rock them alot (and shhhh shhhh shhh).  So I bought a ready made one that I just pop her into and velcro up.
• Pram - city mini jogger.  If you read previous blogs you will read all about my massive indecision about choosing a pram even though this one was the first one we picked out.  Its awesome, so light and easy - its perfect!
• Pram Liners, the style up the pram (previously blogged about)
• Bonds Wondersuits that have enclosed hands and feet.  These are the BOMB. Our room gets quite cool in the airconditioning and we just rug her up in these and she loves them.
• mittens - at first we didnt use these as her finger nails didnt scratch her, but then i discovered that it seemed to calm her down in the airconditioning to pop them and socks on her so she didnt have to be properly rugged up.
• Breastfeeding Pillow - saved my life end of story.  Now that I am four weeks into Bfing, I dont actually use it that much as I have built up the muscles alot more.

Not so love:

• the zip up swaddle, I hated this at first zip. Bubba does not look good all zipped up and we got rid of this after the first try.
• lots of 0000 clothes.  I panicked towards the end of my pregnancy at the lack of clothes I had for baby and went out and bought about $50 worth of little onesies. Total waste of money, I had a big bubba and after Baby G arrived my friends and families gave her SO many clothes (which everyone said would happen but I didnt believe).  She now has enough clothes for about four babies, and the onesies I bought her in 0000 NEVER got worn :-(.
• lots of johnson and johnson products.  Turns out midwives and other mums strongly do not recommend these!
• car mirrors - see previous post.  I have not found a car mirror that actually works where I can see my baby in the back of my car - sigh.

Look of the day - me - Ally playsuit $15.  This one is a bit less sacky/baggy then the other Look of the Day one, I had a belt with it but hubby said no belt so no belt it was.  It zips down at the front for easy BF accessability.
Look of the day - Baby G - baby g is conked out in the awesome fisher and price cradle and swing wearing her ruffle flower pink onesie :-).
