I had a video monitor with my first and an angel care monitor with my second. I liked the Angel care monitor better - i don't need to see him as long as I know he's breathing.

Funny, somebody said it was useless because I couldn't live without the exersaucer. Both my kids spent a ton of time in them as it kept them contained so I could cook or get a few things done. Everybody is different I think. My advice would be to try not to pre-purchase too much. See what you need and what your kids likes when you get there.

If breast feeding, Check out "my Brest friend" nursing pillow. And get a good pump.

I hate how flaky people are on kijiji. I buy 90% of the kids stuff used but I go to consignment shops. Once Upon A Child is awesome and Sproutz Kids is ok. Probably not as cheap as Kijiji but there's a bit of quality control and you only have to make one stop to get everything from clothes to strollers.
