As you plan for the arrival of your new baby, it's a great idea to have a check list for everything you will need. You would never think someone so small could require so much. It can be overwhelming enough just to be expecting and then you have the task to try and ensure that you have everything for when your little one arrives.
Knowing what is needed and being prepared will make for a nice smooth transition for you and your little one upon returning home from the hospital. Having a list of the essentials can also help you when registering for your baby shower and making purchases of the items you need. It is also a good idea so nothing is forgotten.
Crib Blankets
I used the list below when I was expecting my first baby and it was very useful. I already had a general idea of what I thought I needed but it opened my eyes to some things I had not thought of. It also came in handy when I was registering for my baby shower. We my little arrived it was a relief knowing everything was ready for when we got home so we could settle in.
This list is not only good for first time mothers but for all mothers that are expecting. It is a great refresher and reminder of all your little ones needs.
