I'm going to set up an interview with the pedi I have in mind for sometime next week. It's the only one that I've heard good things about via other mommies.
As far as stuff, I'm currently working on a list of things we definitely must have by the time the baby comes. Breast pump, bassinette, bath supplies, feeding supplies, etc. Somehow, it still adds up to around $1200. Ugh.
I have a 15% off any one item at BRU and I plan to use it with the pump. I checked the fine print, and the only thing it excludes regarding feeding are formula and breast pump rental fees. This isn't a rental, so it shouldn't be a problem.
We thought about foregoing a bassinette and sticking with a pack n play, but there really isn't enough room to put one in our living room. The room is quite tiny to begin with, and currently houses our regular LR furniture and the futon we sleep on.
Moving to sleep upstairs won't be a possibility until the warmer weather comes because that part of the house will not hold the heat - no matter how high you set the thermostat. Anyway, the bedroom is even smaller and definitely won't have enough room.
I might be able to carve out 2 tiny spots in the living room - one for a bassinette, another for a little swing or bouncer, so she's got something to keep her occupied while she's awake.
