So I'm 18weeks( four months and a half)
I already got:
-Carseat.
-Carseat.
-Graco days of hunny pack and play
-some little boys onesies my sister gave me.
-einstein bouncer.
I know I need bottles,some disposable diapers,some cloth,some more clothes, some formula.
But what else?
I'm thinking of a swing,
Little rattles.
Oh, and do you think around 6 ish months would be too early for a baby shower?
I want it early so I make sure I have everything etc.

Baby shampoo/wash, lotion, a tub, hooded towels are nice but not necessary. A nasal aspirator, burp clothes, blankets, crib, crib sheet, crib pad (I never used one). A diaper bag, travel wipe case, a wet bag for the diaper bag, diaper rash cream.

a swing is a life saver when your baby is fighting sleep (well atleast in my case)

Imo you shouldn't worry so much about clothes you will get plenty of those trust me. You need a crib...convertible ones are the best in my opinion, stroller, recieving blankets, socks, a safety baby kit and ect. Yeah I would do the baby shower at 6mths so that you will know what you need after the fact. Good Luck!

that's where I got my pack and play..
I got the rest from my sisters (they both had babies in the last two years, my older sister, my younger one, and now me the youngest haha.)
But, could I just get a mat to put in the bottom of the play pen in the pack and play when it grows a bit? Because the top right now is a bed for an infant..

Hmm, not sure, but I do know that Craigslist and the Salvation Army are both great place to get very inexpensive baby gear/clothes. Babies grow so fast that most people barely get to use thier brand new stuff. Just make sure youwash everything really well.

Well yeah, actually who knows my SO's family and mine are kinda physced.
But we got pretty much all the big things out of the way.
I think, I'm getting one of my sisters swing soon because they'll grow out of it by the time I have my baby.

Mine couldn't but I took ALL of my graduation money and bought the babies BIG stuff off of CL minus the crib which the Mothers are getting us for Christmas. Grandma is buying our rocker. Everything else, we've got cept small stuff

I"m going to nap him in his crib during day hours to get him used to it but he'll sleep in his pack and play with us at night for the first month and a half, I believe.
