Only 3 months left! We are really feeling the pressure. There is still so much to think about. Josh and I sat down last night and talked about our birth plan and realized this is nothing in the grand scheme of things. We didn't realize how much we had to think about and understand before this baby comes just for the delivery. After the baby comes there's even more.

We met with our financial planner to talk about life insurance and planning for college. We're looking at buying a bigger vehicle to replace our compact car. We are even shopping around for rates to refinance so we can have our house paid off by the time our kid is ready to drive. Insurance is the next thing on our list. We're going to see if there's a way we can save a little more money on our auto insurance. All this is in addition to planning for baby.

We have to register for gifts this month. We have very little idea of what to get. We've gotten some advice so far of things we need to make sure we get. Some brands we should look at. We have our crib, high chair and travel system picked out, but from there we're pretty lost. I don't want to register for unnecessary things. What did you get that you didn't need? What do you think are the MUST HAVE items for baby?
