- But don't spend big bucks on things with limited lifetimes. You can spend an unbounded amount of money on a fancy crib and other such things. Ikea stuff does the job, it's cheap, and you won't feel bad ditching it later on.
Everything I have bought has been off craigslist we got a ton of new stuff we probably don't need from showers though.
- Get out! It's pretty hard in the beginning to imagine going out for a proper date night, no kid. You have to do it. It's essential to your sanity
- A camera to live in the diaper bag. Doesn't have to be the top of the line, although water-resistance is probably a plus.
These are great ideas I didn't really think of. I even have a waterproof camera laying around I don't use much so I am putting that in the bag for sure.
