Work Out - J. Cole [CDQ] (download link+lyrics)
What kinds off things do I need to do in order to prepare for my new baby?
I am a first time mom, and my baby girl is due at any time...I just want to make sure that I have done everything I need to do, and I have gotten everything I need...
I don’t want to bring her home then figure out that I left something out....
First time mom here too! I've been asking people that recently and here are some of the things I've been told. A lot of the stuff that you buy for a first baby never gets used. Not in the way of clothes and stuff, but when you buy special pacifier holders and $100 play mats you'll end up putting the pacifiers on a counter and laying a blanket on the floor instead 
Unless you want to be one of those super regimented people, you probably won't even use the changing table after a few weeks. A blanket or a towel on the floor works just as well. You can throw it in the wash if it gets dirty, and there's no possible way the baby can fall when it's already on the ground.
Clothes-wise:
Onesies, sleepsuits, singlets, mittens (if your baby will leave them on), baby hats and socks are the basics. For winter you'll need jackets too of course.
Bibs, soft blankets, burp cloths and baby towels will also be used every day.
If you're breast feeding you'll need good maternity bras, some button-up shirts or cami's depending on the season where you're living, nipple cream, a strong will, and breast pads.
If you're bottle feeding then you'll need the bottles (obviously), a sterilizer, newborn formula, a bottle warmer (if you don't want to be heating on the stove at two am) and those little travel containers to put portions of formula in while you're out.
Then you'll need things for when you go out. Diaper bag with space for extra clothes and all the change equipment--sometimes you may even need to bag up a dirty diaper and keep it with you if there's nowhere to dispose of it--, a pram/sling/pouch or whatever you prefer, and a car seat to get there if you drive or get driven.
Other items from obvious to not so obvious might include: a bassinet or cot, bedding, baby bath, rocker or bouncer, a high chair (again, if you're the super regimented type that won't end up with the baby sitting in your lap on the couch), a walker when the time comes, a diaper stacker, a chest of draws and/or wardrobe to store all the mini clothes in, a toy box for the million and one toys that somehow turn up even when you don't buy them (damn relatives ), baby monitor, wipes (I know a girl who bought like a thousand diapers, and then forgot the wipes...), baby bath, rash cream and powder (certain kids respond better to one rather than the other or both). A bulb syringe in case of mucus build up in the throat.
And finally, the number one thing you must remember to have before the baby arrives is the acceptance that no matter how much you might prepare or plan, things will still come up that you're not equipt for. You'll do your best, mess up at some point, but make it through to know better tomorrow.
Good luck!
