In this problem, I can't control the size of my apartment. Unless, of course, I move. Assuming that's not a feasible option (because it's not), let's continue. The baby stuff is something I can control both in terms of how much and how big. Thus, I'm going to focus on the baby stuff. Step one: complete.
Step two: what is the baby stuff? I've come full circle in a mere two paragraphs, one of which was only three short questions. Hmmm. My method for learning things about pregnancy and childbirth is consulting wikipedia and urbandictionary.com. Unlike my problem solving method, this method is bad. It failed just yesterday (read this and then this for the humorous details).
And so, I'm turning to YOU - What are the best baby stuff? I'm not talking great, I'm talking BEST. What are things that were absolutely essential to the first year of your little one's life? Give me your Top 5.
