Baby Products I Can't Live Without

I wanted to share some of the books and products I've found most useful the past couple of months.

Books & Movies
The New Well Pregnancy Book - Good book that describes physiologically what was happening to my body and how labor works. Not too scary.
The Baby Whisperer - This book was helpful in developing my intuition around how to care for an infant. Has great charts that list different reactions a baby has and what it means.
The Happiest Baby on the Block - This technique works. Book outlines the author's theory that the first three months are the fourth trimester and helps you think like a baby. But the DVD was the best at describing the technique to envolke the 'calming reflex' - works every time to quiet down Carter when he has a meltdown.
The Baby Book of Bargains - Essential. There is so much crap out there and an entire industry created to convince you that you have to spend thousands of dollars on baby stuff. I've followed the advice in this book and haven't regretted it.

Stuff for the Nursery
BabyDiaper Service - Super convenient service that isn't very expensive.
Crib Mobile - I love this mobile and so does Carter. He will sit and stare at it and listen to the music for up to 15 minutes!
Activity Center- Carter was using this after the first week and gets more interested each day
Swing - Cannot live without this, allows us to sleep when Carter is really fussy
Kick & Play Vibrating Chair - Great to put him in when I'm making dinner so he can watch me. He hasn't figured out that his feet are what cause the sound but it'll be fun when he does.
Snap 'N Go Stroller - Really convenient and a great value. No need to buy one of those travel systems.
Combi Stroller - Great stroller - lightweight, collapsable, cute, lots of room to store stuff. Best of all, little speakers for Carter that I can plug my ipod into!
Baby Jockey Onsies - Great quality and two snap setting so they fit him longer
Baby Monitor
Baby Bjorn - Not sure this is better than a snuggly. Carter is now 16 pounds and my back hurts after a walk to the store with him in it. But great when he needs to be held but I need my hands.
iPod - Must have for walks and convient music listening. I plug it into my stereo and use it at home too. Easy because my entire CD collection fits on it and I've created fun playlists so no messing around with CDs.

Things I could live without
Boppy - While some people swear by these, i didn't find it that useful. it was easier for me just to hold Carter, but that could have been because he was so big.
