Must Have Baby Items That You Won't Get at a Shower (Part 1)

So there are some good but boring things that you're going to need when the baby arrives. These are not the show-stopper amazingly adorable outfits that fit for two seconds if you're lucky, but rather the unadorable stand-bys that you'll use for months if not years.

1. Hydrocortisone cream (used for every baby blemish and highly effective)
2. Aquaphor (petroleum jelly based intense lotion)
   
3. Lap pads for on the changing table (reduces the number of messes that end up on the changing table cover)
   
4. LOTS of cloth diapers (assuming your baby is a spitter - and BONUS if you get cute embellished ones)
   
5. Good baby nail clippers (I like the ones in this kit)

I'm sure I'll think of more but I can't remember right now. Unfortunately you can't put sleep on this list. Lack of sleep makes you so forgetful.
