Not many essentials. I mean ya, clothes are essential, but I only got a few blankets, nobody got any of the breastfeeding supplies I had wanted, or the pacifiers I wanted. I didn't get any hygiene items for her. Well I got TONS of soap/lotion (I probably wont need to buy any for a year) but no nail clippers or things like that. My mom and grandma are the ones who continually buy the things that I didn't get or still need. I know I sound totally ungrateful. I appreciate everything I got and I love all the outfits. I just wish that people would've looked at what we needed and such. We literally have 72 outlet plug covers... I mean seriously who has 36 double outlets in their home? We won't even need those until she is crawling which won't be until she is at least 6 months old!
