.Baby Things: Baby Essentials.

The other day husband asked for an 'essential's' baby list. I think it really hit him that this thing is happening and we soooo need to plan for it. And pay for it. 

We have t-minus 6 months left and only a box full of books, sleepers, and toys, which I'm fairly sure won't cut it in the new baby department [i should mention we have a hand-me-down crib as well, but i'm pouting about using it. it's brown and just doesn't go with the theme of our baby room that i'm dreaming up. so the crib here aren't really an essential.....and speaking of which, can you paint a crib??]

So I put together this little list for him. With mostly my dream items.

And then husband had a little heart attack.

one] bugaboo cameleon stroller [dark grey/ dark blue or dark grey/black or dark grey/off white] $900
