By the time I got pregnant with my second, I didn&#8217;t have much baby stuff left. Thankfully, I have a wonderful network of mom-friends who supplied me with maternity clothes, baby clothes, and baby items. Even though it was offered, I declined a baby shower, due to pregnancy issues such as <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" aria-label=\"gestational diabetes (opens in a new tab)\" href=\"https:\/\/www.westsidemommy.com\/site\/my-experience-with-gestational-diabetes\/\" target=\"_blank\">gestational diabetes<\/a> and a few other health concerns which arose. Today, baby and I are in good health. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">When thought of what I needed,  I created a shopping list, which became a baby registry list. I wanted to keep it basic, populating it with necessities. Now that it&#8217;s been several weeks, I can say that everything on this list (whether gifted to me or purchased) have proven to be very useful!
