I'm hoping when baby three arrives he'll be a little more independent about taking his nap on his own and I'm sure his sister will want to follow his lead just like she does with everything else. <br /><br />And gonna give that book a try. I feel like our two 1/2 year old and 19 month old just got on a good schedule now that my two yr old is going to "school" three mornings a week. It's partly because we all shared a one bedroom for two years so that made a good sleep schedule hard to come by, but also I was so young and scared when my first was born. We ended up co-sleeping not so much because of him, but because I would constantly wake up thinking he wouldn't be breathing (no an overprotective mess there right? lol). But, with # three on the way I'm older, hopefully wiser, & I've come to appreciate having an hour or two before bed with just hubby so we can reconnect after our day and do devotions. Praying this new baby just kind of hopes into the family schedule (I can dream right ?! lol)<br /><br />My baby must haves would probably be: <br />• those little gowns boy or girl for when they are first born and constantly needing clothes changes (spit up), diapers changed, and their belly button is still healing.<br /><br />• a good baby carrier like a sling, moby, or an ergo. My last two started wanting to explore way earlier than my friends kids so I didn't get as much use from them, but they are great the first six months of their life when they want mommy all the time and the toddler thinks they are a play doll. lol Also, I never could have survived shopping trips without them & they're great for discrete breast feeding!<br /><br />• a nursing cover. I made is 14 months breast feeding my daughter and I am really blessed to say we made it that long because I had supportive friends that didn't act weird about me nursing with the cover on (obviously for modesty shake I wasn't comfortable nursing in front of company without one). I was able to stay and be apart of the conversation and didn't have to go hide for what seemed like forever in a room by myself that way and that was a big help with staving off depression or baby blues.<br /><br />• this one is a little gross, but the nose clearer bulb thing the hospital gives you. They ones from the store never worked as well.<br /><br />• the natural gas/colic relief for babies. <br /><br />• the video Happiest Baby on the Block. They dr in it gives magic tips for a fussy baby. It seems crazy some of the stuff he does, but it works and I swear by it.<br /><br />And that's all I know for sure. Both my past two have been a little different with what we've been able to afford, had room for, or the baby even liked so it changes. <br /><br />Thanks for your suggestions!
