we already have nursery furniture stored away from the twins to use. As far as decor and sheets for the nursery. We aren’t going to worry about that until baby is a few months old since they will be sleeping in our room. Plus I want to be able to use the guest room and bed for our moms to stay and help out.

I'm just going to get a board attachment for the stroller I think. (Ds will be 3)
We still have our nursery set up from DS. We just moved him into another room so we have a crib, changing table, glider etc in there ready to go.

Crib & mattress (we got a convertible crib for DS and we’ll buy another for DD, but one clearance!)
New nipples for bottles, new pacifiers, teethers, etc (things where the material has fatigued to a non-reusable point).
A new pack n play (we are moving to a new house and having a cheap second one will make my life easier).
Diapers & formula
A couple of toys to help the DS & DD bond (Leap frog Violet and a shapes food picnic basket).
We already got a double stroller for a steal when Babies R Us closed.
glider
Clothes if its a boy
formula
new dresser/changing table
im getting overwhelmed thinking about this. The biggest thing is getting that room cleared out. It’s currently my closet. I don’t know where anything will go. It was nice having space while it lasted 😢
eta: I really need to get on it. I’d like to have everything ready around 30 weeks since preterm preeclampsia is a risk again. 17 weeks today, I’ve got time yeah? The good news is, amazon rocks and most things you can get right away
I need:
carseat
double stroller
crib
diaper pail
need to check on clothes stash, specifically for little things like socks I might have gotten rid of.
need to check my swaddle stash
formula just in case
diapers in newborn and 1
new diaper holder bag thing for the nursery
bottles
rocking chair
star turtle night light thing my DS loves
baby gas drops and other meds just in case
pacifiers
New pump
2 diaper genies
2 crib sets
2 rocking chairs
a new twin pnp
another DockATot
Boy clothes
Some newborn diapers
Double stroller
2 car mirrors
Another bucket car seat
some more burp clothes
NB diapers, some clothes, infant to toddler rocker seat, a new bassinet mattress and sheets, bathing pad, swaddles, bottles, baby on board signage, tummy time mat.
My insurance will send me a new breast pump and I still have a back up battery, milk bags, and nursing pads set aside. Plus some misc baby stuff. So we are honestly pretty well set. We maybe need $150 worth of stuff. We still have an infant seat that is not recalled from DD and her bassinet, PnP, changing table, baby toys, etc. So glad I set stuff aside.
Once the baby is bigger we will need another saucer/bouncer thing because I gave ours away to someone, but we will get one when the time comes.
So far I have:
momaroo
halo bassinet
double stroller - have my eye on the city select
folding high chair
new bottles
diapers
changing pad for the diaper bag since mine is MIA
rocking chair
bottle brushes
Hatch light
a second base for the infant car seat
infant tub
Are diaper genies really worth it??? I considered one for DD but never got one
ETA: especially if you’re used to not having one, I’m not sure I’d invest for a second kid. I wouldn’t get one if I had it to do over but since we have it, I’ll use it.
Breast milk storage bags
Extra pump parts
A manual pump
(We cloth diaper and DD will still be in diapers so we'll need more)
A couple more wet bags
Diapers + extra hemp inserts
High chair
Stroller
I'm sure I'm forgetting things but we should be pretty set with the necessities at least
@pbtoast we had like a knock off one from my SIL but it didn’t contain the smell too well so we gave up on it early.
Only 1 thing to add from what others have said: Little Remedies New Baby Essentials Kit (Walmart carries it) It has all of the below in it:
Disposable things (diapers, wipes, etc.)
Pump parts
Rock n play (didn't have one before and I regret) and or a swing (ours sucked, it was a third hand me down so I threw it away)
Bassinet and/or mini-crib
Double stroller
Ring sling
I think I'm going to hold off and start creating our registry after my anatomy scan at the beginning of February. Are you ladies sticking with just an Amazon registry?
-Pump parts
-Pumping Bra
-Ergo 360 - I never really wore DD but I know with this baby I will need hands free with my by then 3 yr old.
-New diaper bag! I used an over the shoulder one with my first, but man the backpacks are so cute and make more sense!
-Dresser/storage bins for the room. I have the rest of the furniture.
I’ve already added most of this stuff to an amazon list, although I’ve seen really great deals on the Ergo on Facebook martket place and will probably buy it used.
**Question: I still have a monitor in my daughters room, she’s 2.5 right now. How long do most keep monitors in their kids room? Will I end up having two monitors? It’s a basic one, no video or anything. If I get another it will be the same, I know I would be too obsessed if it was video.

bought a carseat and stroller for 2 (since dd is still at stroller age)
a second convertible crib (since dd will be in hers converted at least another year).
I'll go though baby clothes and stuff, but probably only purchase on a whim, we have SO much.
