Practical Things... yawn.

Update: Ok, thanks to some lovely presents from some lovely people (Ollie's grandmas and Sandy, to name names), as well as some shopping on our own part, Ollie no longer needs the following things. Thanks for the lovely presents!!

We need a baby bathtub. Apparently the kind with mesh slings on the inside are good for suspending your baby in place. After that, I really couldn't care less.

We need a changing pad with a buckle to keep the thing from plunging over the side (they frown on that). I don't care what kind either.

Apparently we need a cover to go on the changing pad, and it would be nice if it went with the room (see above bedding).

It's likely we could use an extra crib sheet or 2. White or light blue would be fine.

And then I guess you need burp cloths? My friend Shannon seems to have a variety of cloth around for draping over yourself so Fiona (the baby) doesn't throw up on you. I'm not particular on those either, so long as they are not pastel nor have geese or bears or chicks or whatever.

And blankets. I guess it needs a blanket or two, considering it will be born in December.

There was another one, at the store we saw this and it was incredibly soft and comfy. Soft and comfy seems good.


Oh, and apparently some kind of carrier or sling to tote it around in is supposed to be handy.
