help this is my first pregnancy
What all do I need for a baby. Things I've have right now
Swing
Bunch of clothes ranging newborn to 24mths
Bouncer
Things I know I need.
Diapers
Wipes
Carseat
Crib
Stroller
Bedding(sheets)
Receving blankets
Bottles
Blankets
My mother inlaw says she has the following for me but I'm not believing it until I see it.
Pack n play
Crib from 1988 which I doubt I'm going to use
Toddler bed
Dresser
Rocking chair
I think that's it.
Oh one more question can I throw my own baby shower I doubt my friends are going to throw me one. And I really could use one mainly for diapers. Is that out of the norm for the me to throw my own baby shower. I know if my mom was still alive she would throw me one.

Definitely don't plan to use your mil's crib. Current safety standards are much stricter now and it probably doesn't meet regulations.
The only thing I see missing from your list is a sling or carrier, I couldn't have made it through my daughter's first 6 months without one! Also, you should go through the clothes and make sure you have enough sleepers and onesies in 0 to 3 and 3 to 6 months. I have boxes of baby clothes from my daughter, but when I sorted them, I realized I had nothing left from 0 to 3 months.
as for a crib, yes its best you get your own.... my son was born in 2006 and his crib was recalled in 2009. so this baby will have her all new crib

For breastfeeding: a boppy & extra covers, a nursing stool, a pump
For formula feeding: advent makes this bottle warmer thing that my friend found very useful
Also, if you dont have a dishwasher, you'll need a bottle sterilizer (i use mine instead of the dishwasher for my pump attachments, cuz they dry faster).
