[blparent] [Bulk] Items you couldn't live without

[Angela Frederick]

Thanks, everyone, for your must haves and shouldn't have bought 
lists.  This will help me with a good start in figuring out how much 
a baby would cost for the first year.  Also, we will be living in an 
apartment for at least another two years, so I really don't want a 
lot of bulky items that turn out to be poor purchases anyway.

Tammy, what is the name of those squeezy spoons, and where can you 
find them?  This is an interesting concept.

Pipi, if you can find your lists without much inconvenience, I would 
love to see them.

Thanks,
Angela
