My List of Baby Items

I have been well and truly nesting today. My anxiety disorder likes to manifest itself through extensive cleaning when I'm anxious, and I have been borderline panic attack-y all day today. This is my first day completely alone since Grandpa passed and my Papaw had his surgery, so I have been doing everything I can to stay somewhat distracted. I reach a point when in this anxious cleaning mode that I know I have to stop, because the act of cleaning is feeding the anxiety. I started cleaning at 7:30 this morning. It is now 12:36, and I have reached that point.

My current distraction is making a list of all of the items I need for Emery, so that I can go register this afternoon. I've started an online registry on WalMart.com, and I'm hoping that I can combine it with an in-store registry, as a great deal of the necessary items are only in-store, and therefore can't be added online.

I'd like all the feedback I can get! If you see something superfluous, tell me. If you think I'm missing something, tell me! All items with with an asterisk are items I own already, or that family will be letting us borrow. God has truly blessed us, as I have not personally purchased a single thing, yet we have been given so much that we will need.
