I have a list at home that came with a pregnancy magazine, I'll dig it out later and let you know unless anyone else already has a list on here somewhere?

We haven't got anything yet other than a blanket which my stepmom bought......we'll get a couple of bits after our 20 weeks scan, but gonna wait until the Jan sales before we really start buying stuff up.
