It's dry!!
When we went to register, I was surprised to see some of the "equipment" I could find for babies. One thing we came across and decided to try was a; "wet wipe warmer". Now, this is one of those baby products that the older folks will look at you with a "raised eyebrow", as if to say..."is it really necessary?!" However, at the time I thought it would be great because, Maddy was a winter baby and I did not want to startle her with the cold touch of wipes. We got the Muchkin Glow Wet Wiper Warmer, I am a big fan of Munchkin products and have never had any complaints with their stuff...except for this one. This thing COMPLETELY dried out my wet wipes. And at first I thought I was doing something wrong but, it's not like it has "special settings". Then I thought, am I suppose to shut it off after using it? But then how does that keep the wipes warm? Makes no sense to me. Not to mention, I eventually had problems getting the cover to the wet wipe warmer to stay closed, it would keep popping open which would then contribute to the wet wipes drying out. I've discussed wet wipe warmers in general with other mommies and found no matter what brand you use, most of the time they do dry out and eventually mommies stop using them.
One word of advise for anyone thinking about buying one...SAVE-YOUR-MONEY!

Columbia Trekster Diaper Bag
My husband and I both use this bag. It was originally purchased for my husband but, I grew to find it much more convenient then the typical style baby bag for woman. I love the sporty look and it has easy accessible compartments. It has a cooler pouch on the side and lots of places with netting to keep your belongings organized. We both have thrown this bag all over the place and I have not seen any wear and tear-it is extremely durable. I love being able to throw it on my back and not worrying about it hitting my hips or sliding of my shoulders. It is a washer friendly item, which is great when it comes to a baby bag. Lots of things can spill inside, etc.. but it is a easy wash, no permanent damages. I love this bag and would HIGHLY recommend it for any mommy or daddy on the run! Side Note: I was also reading that if anything was to happen to the bag (broken zipper, etc..), people have had no problem having Columbia or their partner company replace the entire bag!

Baby will be rockin'...
Fisher Price Newborn Rock & Play Sleeper
Every new momma needs one of these bad boys! They are fairly new to the market but, every mom I've spoken to either has one and is in love with it or, wishes it existed back when they would have needed it.
I came across it purely by accident. My husband and I got a little "trigger happy" while registering at Babies R Us for our shower. I was obviously happy to see we got it but, I had no idea what it was really worth, until Maddy decided to join us on the outside world. It was perfect to have downstairs while we are in the living room watching television but, just light enough to carry upstairs if we wanted the baby to sleep beside our bed. I've even brought it into our yard, she enjoys watching her parents do yard work. It easily folds up and you can throw it in the trunk of the car to bring to anywhere! It's very portable, washable and soft. I truly believe it is soothing for infants because, cocoons them. It's as if someone is holding them and I believe that is why Maddy loved it so much. It comes in a few different colors options and prints.Only downside I had with this is-I couldn't stop using it! Hey! Is that a bad thing to say? Maddy literally started outgrowing it around 6 months! If you have a infant or are expecting-GET IT! Also, would make a awesome gift to to a expecting parent!I forgot to mention the deal breaker...it comes with a bunny rabbit rattle!!
