I'm sorry, Sean. Best vibes towards S.
It's not been a good week. Universe, don't make me come up there.

Bob's learned to live with tragedy, but he knows that this tragedy is one that won't ever leave him or get better.
Oh no, Sean. My thoughts and prayers are with you and S.
I need the hivemind.
I am with baby Julia and P right now and we are working on the baby registry. What do new mothers / parents need? I need recs people!
Also? NEW BABY! She is beautiful and I can't believe I stopped holding her so I could type this.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

That man was going to shank me. Over an omelette. Two eggs and a slice of government cheese. Is that what my life is worth?

Wow. I first read this with a period after the word "baby" and I thought, "Cass is pregnant??!! Whee!!!"

Awwww...Cass, how fun!
I hear onesies are always a must!

Woe to the fucking wicked.
I have heard that the cloth diapers make good general wiping-up clothes, and they come in pretty (from Target, for example)

What is even happening?
P, congratulations on your daughter!!!!!!!! Great girls are named that name.
Cass, some cloth diapers are good to have on hand (the pre-folded, unless she's choosing cloth as a whole, don't worry about what that means, just look for packages that say it) because even if P doesn't choose to use cloth, they're nice for many baby related leaks.
Onesies
Terry sleepers
Diapers
wipies (unscented)
Diaper Bag
porta-crib and/or bassinet
swing
changing (table) pad
rocking chair
receiving blankets
sheets (crib, and or bassinet, or what have you
A Busy Board
mobile
wash cloths
hooded towels
a second car seat (so they have one for each car, if they have 2 cars)
Since P adopted, I'd say find out which kind of bottles she's going to use and sign her up for bottles, nipples, a nipple brush, maybe some sort of little nipple rack for the dishwasher (if she has one). Formula. Vaseline. Balmex (or the ass ointment of P's choice).
She'll probably go out and get a lot of necessities between now and then, and if that's the case, she might not want to bother with a registry, and let people get her baby clothes.
