I started thinking about what I will do different with baby #2 and what I won't use, and what I most definately need to buy. Thankfully there weren't a ton of things that came to mind, but I did manage to think up some alterations in my mothering plan. Like the fact that I need to purchase more pumping equipment to make nursing last longer, and how I want to start right off the bat with a noise machine to hope to help with sleep! I'm not yet sure if I want to start the pacifier and deal with having to eventually get rid of, or deal with the repercussion of a paci dependant baby, but it definitely would have its benefits. I think I want to wear my baby a great deal more, and possibly go to cloth diapers...having said that, in my search for irresistible baby "needs" I came across some images that made me very happy. some are much more practical than others :)

If I should find out that I am having a girl, I WILL be attempting these!

SO happy!






I HAVE to have a friend who can just whip these up for me...LIZ? anybody?

I think I am going to invest in a Moby Wrap. I love the closeness, and the comfort of the cloth. My sister gave me a wonderful shower gift of a maya wrap, however, the fabric was a bit less soft, and I never quite mastered it.

My sister-in-law had a noise machine similar to this one, and it attached to the car seat, crib or ANYWHERE. I was jealous! I would love to leave Benjamin's noise machine in the bedroom, and leave this one in the car!
More wish list items to come...Right now I am too tired!
