10 Things You Actually DO Need Before the Baby

From a woman who panics easily by nature, and found out about her pregnancy with 4 months 'left' to prepare, & still tried to have it all. 

[And succeeded. At having all the baby 'stuff'... that is. Upon his arrival, every single thing I could have needed for that baby's first few weeks and months forward was within the walls of my home. 

But, I had zero, absolutely NOT A CRUMB,  none of the baby preparation done. And a traumatic birth.

So, it not only was mostly left unused, but what was there & perfectly organized [from tons of time spent gathering, months of nesting, and some last-minute genuine insanity] was demolished in its setup entirety. Simply ripped apart in the hunt for other specific items I didn't know would be needed in my infant-ignorant brain, as the people tried to care for my infant while I was in my bed. 

but that's another blog.]
