Feeling a lot unprepared & on bed rest, what do I *really* need?
I am 34 weeks pregnant with #2 and spent a few days in the hospital earlier this week for preterm labor---I am still contracting and they are not sure how much longer I will go. I am also on bedrest, which limits what I can do significantly, but I am sending DH to BBB today for last minute stuff
I have the following washed & ready: -bassinet with sheets -clothes/undershirts -burp cloths -receiving blankets/swaddles -boppy
-carseat installed -diapers & A&D ointment & sensitive wipes I think I bought a pack of soothie pacifiers, but that's it. I also plan to BF but do have some new bottles I never used with DS.
I know there is a ton more stuff I need, but I am looking for the stuff I *really* need right away as I don't want to totally overwhelm DH as he is already doing everything around the house, taking care of DS this weekend to give my mom a break and trying to finish getting ready.
Thanks for your help, I am trying not to stress but I want to make sure I have the necessities.

I think if you don't have time to get ready the basic needs are:
bassinet (with washed sheets) changing table washed clothes diapers Bottles/nipples sterilized if you are doing formula Carseat
the rest...you can do later.

Little wash cloths and tub for sponge baths, vaseline, formula just in case you need it?
