It’s a boy! I’m due at the end of September. The colors in our shared room are brown and light/sage green with some red and blue thrown in. I like monkeys and giraffes too. I hope to breastfeed for a year.

Items I don’t want
While I highly encourage folks to go beyond the list, particular when there is advice and insight to be shared, there are some items I already know I won’t need or want.
- Strollers — getting from friends
- Crib — getting from a friend, but mainly using pack n play
- Changing table (going with a changing pad on top of a dresser)
- Boppy — a regular pillow will work just fine, and the Boppy doesn’t quite fit well with the glider.
- Bottles, bottle sterilizer — will hold off until we know breastfeeding is a go — all depends on that and the breast pump
- Wipe or lotion warmers
- Travel system (just need an infant car seat — other car seats and strollers are available from friends)
- Crib bumper, diaper stacker, pillows, or linen sets (plain sheets are fine)
- Quilts (receiving blankets are fine)
- Stuffed animals (not able to be around baby for a while)
- White noise machine
- Swings (if he likes one we’ll get one later)
- Walkers
- DVDs/videos
