When I was pregnant with my 1st, I didn't have a clue about what I was doing.
Like most first-time parents, I read all the books and blogs. I subscribed to parenting magazines, and I pinned for hours. I was trying to prepare myself for the arrival of our first babe.
It wasn't until he was here that I started to really figure things out.
Now that we are pregnant with our 3rd baby, I’d say I have a much better grasp on what we need and what’s just fluff.
Below is a list of what first-time parents will need for their precious new arrival.
Congrats and thanks so much for reading!

Crib
Crib Mattress
Optional- Waterproof mattress protector

Optional- Ottoman to put your feet up during late night feedings.
