Since I was 7lbs, my H was 9lbs and his brother was around the 9lbs range, we've decided to just bring our newborn sizing to the hospital. We don't have a lot, but gives options and I'm 90% sure that will be only time she fits into it lol
I may bring 1 or 2 other sized onsies in case. I have quite a few 0-3 month sizes I picked up.
And I think we decided on a convertible and an infant seat. The cost of an extra base just didn't make sense, especially since we want to have a second kid within a few years and will need a convertible eventually for this LO anyways. But I don't think we'll get a ton of use out of that one until we have to coordinate daycare pickups.
@icecubeinthedesert - If you don't want to get a second base you can also install the infant seat via seat belt if you don't want the second base. I know for us, we left the carseat at daycare and moved it into whatever car was being used, whether it had a base or was installed via seat belt. I'd certainly practice it a few times, but it's completely safe. That way you don't have to mess with what to do with the car seat when LO is in the convertible.
First Son - born 2013
Second Son - born 2014 - Hypoplastic Left Heart Syndrome (HLHS) and Double Outlet Right Ventricle (DORV). First open heart surgery at 5 days old. He's had 3 open heart surgeries and several other procedures and is currently doing amazing. Third Son - due June 9, 2018
Anyway, it was a perfect hospital bag for baby because we also had the tote and a car seat. Since this is a backpack we could carry everything at once and didn't have to go back for a 2nd trip to/from the car or anything.
@MissKittyDanger so funny you mention the Lush shampoo! I bought some right before i got pregnant and just found it a few weeks ago and started using it so I can finish it before it expires. I really like it!
@amys614 Jersey Bounce & Big are my faves Something about them my hair loves, pregnant or not. {since being pregnant, my skin/scalp/hair is oilier than normal so it's been my BFF lol}
@amys614@MissKittyDanger the Big shampoo from Lush is my FAV! I usually have really oily hair that I would have to wash daily and with that I can go two-three days but it doesn't feel dry. Great volume too!
However, I did not like the Big conditioner bar.

@krashke I recently was talking to Lush about conditioner, and apparently more people like "American Cream" the best. I need to use conditioner after I shampoo or else my hair is a friggen tangled mess and I have a wet brush
