What baby items were you surprisingly excited about?

Today I went to BRU and bought some of the last items we needed. I am finding myself strangely excited about the Arm and Hammer diaper pail. I also can't wait to use the infant seat and the Mei Tai carrier. I'm not sure why these things excite me so. What are you guys strangely excited about?

    it looks so cute!  Baby can play it with their feet while they are in the crib!!  (I've been playing with it a little I must admit ;)

  • My SIL gave us a Sleep Sheep for Christmas...it's so cute, and I think that the white noise may help all of us sleep a little better!

  • I'm oddly excited about the changing pad and cover. We aren't using a changing table just the top of a dresser and I'm glad to have a comfy spot to put LO for changing without having to have a whole separate contraption in the room!

  • I am so excited about the cloth diapers. I will be using prefolds with covers which I find to be extremely adorable. I'm also obsessed with the fact that there is now a car seat in my car.

    I have become weirdly obsessed with her stroller. 

    I haven't even ordered the stroller yet, but I stalk it online because I'm obsessed. We finally decided on the UB Vista, but now I'm stuck on a color I like. I'm sure once it gets here I will be immediately assembling and playing with it, like I've pretty much done with everything else. I must have spent an hour and a half playing with and getting used to the infant seat.

  • DH and I put the dog in the Ergo the other night and walked around the house with her.  It is my new favorite toy.

  • Now that I think about it, the 3 items I'm most excited about are all Fisher Price: The Rock and Play, Swing to High Chair and Rainforest Activity Mat. I've looked at these items since I was about 6 weeks. I already put the RnP together and the other 2 items are on their way from Amazon. They also have the Rainforest Jumperoo on sale right now. I'm seriously considering buying it now, even though she won't really need it for a while...

  • Someone was kind enough to get us the inflatable infant bathtub we registered for...that happens to be shaped like a rubber duckie. I squealed like a little kid when we opened it. :)Husband, on the other hand, wants to open up and play with the Baby Einstein ocean playmat someone gave us. "I just want to make sure it's actually as fun as it looks!" LOL

  • I was super excited about getting our crib and the bassinet. :-)  And DH and I are both excited to get the car seat this weekend so we can see how it fits on the stroller. I'm happy and looking forward to being able to go for walks and be pushing our little one with us!!

  • Her mobile came today in the mail and it is SUPER cute!  I ordered it off Zulily and took a chance on the colors, but they're perfect.  And I was surprised that it played music...I didn't remember it saying so on the sale!  It was like Christmas opening the package today...

    I totally did this after I read your post!! I wanted to make sure I could put LO in there myself with no help (although mine is a Mei Tai carrier). So, my little 20lb Boston Terrier was the stand in. She instantly calmed down and started nodding off. I sent a picture to my mom, to which she replied "ur weird." LOL

    The bouncer seat. One of my girlfriends sent it to us and I immediately texted ridiculously excited about it, lol. I'm also pretty excited about the swing, but the bouncer more so for some reason.

    This for me too! Our bouncer seat has little bunny ears up top :) I can't wait to see the girls in it!!

    Is it the Snugabunny? That's what we have and I LOVE it. It was one of the first things I put together. I am still amazed at what a pain in the a$$ that thing was to assemble... but I've found that with all of this baby stuff!

    I so hope someone buys this for us! But I will have it regardless!

  • Cloth diapers for sure! I just got my stash in the mail this past week. Also, the lime green shag rug in his room. It just looks so cool...

    We went with the Snug a Bunny bouncer, too. We also got the swing. They are so freaking adorable, but I agree that they were not easy to assemble.

  • This time around I'm really excited about using the newborn cloth diapers and the Ergo carrier with the infant insert.  I didn't do either of these when my DD was a newborn.

  • A little tiny pair of pants I got him when I found he was a boy.  I can't wait to see him in them!  Also, the bouncer...it's so darn cute.  

    My H's favorite thing is some little toy that attaches to the carseat.  He's always playing with it and has declared it is his favorite gift....he's so cute.

  • The excersaucer. We only got it because we did the BRU trade-in with our registry completion. We had 3 items to trade-in, but since they wouldn't let us use the third discount for a changing table (which we need really badly), we had to use it on something, so we decided to spoil LO a little early. We thought it was just an excersaucer, that he wouldn't be able to use if for a few months, but when we got it home and actually looked at it, we discovered that it starts off as an activity mat, then sets up as the excersaucer, then transforms to an activity table. I was way more excited knowing that he can use it from birth on up.
