Check List That Every Expectant Mother Should Have.
Getting ready for the birth of a child is an exciting time. The first thing to do is make a checklist of items the baby will need. You have nine months to get everything on the list and be ready when the baby arrives. You can set up a baby registry at your favorite store based on your checklist and refer friends and family to shop there. If you will be having a baby shower, you may get a few of the items on your list there.The whole story can be found at http://ohokgreatexpectations.wordpress.com/2011/09/01/dealing-with-diaper-bag-envy/
For Baby:

Once you have the items need for the baby you can start packing for the hospital. The average hospital stay for mothers and babies is approximately three days so be sure to pack a pair of pajamas, slippers, hairbrush, toothbrush, deodorant and a change of clothes to wear home.
Remember when buying clothing that babies grow quickly. It is a good idea to buy clothes two sizes up to make sure they fit. The best clothes for a newborn are actually t-shirts and onesies until his growth pattern is established.
