@melindaconnor’s #newbabyboy – Layette List (Pse RT!)

I grabbed this list of essentials from Special Delivery, which also may be a good site for those of you not in Joburg, but would still like to get something.

Please comment on this post what you would like to give or buy for the Connor’s new baby boy, and I will update the post accordingly. You can also then scroll through the comments to see what has already been given. Sam, I’ll see you in a bit. Denita, see you at Sandton later this morning. Victoria, see you at M&B at 3:30. Andrea, see you tomorrow afternoon!

Also, is there anyone in Pretoria who perhaps works in Joburg who would be willing to bring some stuff through from that side of the world?
