I'm back....

Everyone needs a break from blogging sometimes. I have been pretty consumed with baby stuff the past few weeks. I decided that since it was Christmas break I would be getting all the important preparations done. So far I have made a birth plan (THAT was traumatic, let me tell you), scoured consumer reports, planned a diapering system (we're going cloth, but that's because we're a bit hippy). I feel that I'm well on my way to being at least as prepared as I can be. You may think this is a little premature, but it's really easier for me to do now while I'm not working. Today we will register at Target.
We had a great Christmas. It was great to see everyone, but I think I am enjoying the "after Christmas rest" even more than I did all the visiting. We were supposed to go back to school next week, but it's not going to happen with all the damage inside the building, so it will be nice to have another week off.
I'm back, for reals, I promise.
NOW, I have a question, for all of you mom's out there. Please help me out.

What is the one baby "thing" that you couldn't live without?

I need to know. Leave a comment.
