Build a Baby survival kit
Before you goto the hospital for delivery have a basic baby kit in the babys room. They used to sell all this in one kit and we blessed ours so many times it's not funny. put this all together and keep it on the dresser in the babys room.
we got the most awesome baby kit from little remedies but, they don't make it any more. I strongly suggest you put one together... it was a clear box, we kept it on the dresser in the babys room.. I can't tell you how many times we blessed this kit... we had spare ones that stated in the trailer and sca gear boxes..
it included all the stuff in the links below
1. A clear box (does not have to be this fancy, just what I found), but clear is a big help when you glance at it and see the contents, trust me.

2. All the basic baby meds, so you always have them on hand (esp Tylenol and ibu and gas meds) + dosing syringes and baby ear cleaner (you want Tylenol and ibuprofen both because sometimes the doc says to alternate if they have a high fever. Plus if you run out of one, you always have enough of the other to get you through the night.)

All the basic baby care tools you need

(get a better thermometer too, but keep this one for backup)
add some baby diaper rash stuff, i used this because the name amused me, but use whatever..get tube not jar, it's easier to open with one hand

add a small dim flashlight to it... or on you can cover with you hand to regulate the light. Needs to click on and off so you can point it at the far wall, set it down and use the indirect light. but not so small you can lose it.

You dont' need all of these, but a brush and the syringe with the special rubber stopper (lets you get baby meds our of any sized bottle) are especially handy (the nail clipper and syringe are duplicates of the one in the kit above)

I can''t tell you how awesome it was to always have these right at hand, in one box, when they woke up in the middle of the night.
Now in a separate place make sure you have the following, the goal is to have enough supplies to stay home for 2 weeks... I know that sounds like way to much , but trust me on this.
1 large box of newborn diapers, get a good brand if you can afford it
1 can of instant baby formula (or pre made, but several days worth), hope you never need to open it, but it's better to have it on hand then not if you need it at 2am.
large box of baby wipes..
Plus Whatever kind of bottles you are going to use...I liked the ones with liners,
