First child? So people are going to get a lot of clothes for you. Onesies are where it's at. Anything else is over the top and not really necessary. You probably won't be taking your child out into the world a lot. A Co-sleeper is really convenient for the first few months, you can attach it to the side of your bed so you don't have to do much when the baby wakes up at night. I recommend having at least 6 SwaddleMe's. Baby's love being swaddled until their a few months old. Also recommend 6-8 bottles at a time to minimize dishes. Anglecare bath support is necessary to give baths in. Don't bath them until they're a few weeks to a month old, then try to start giving him baths before bed to get him into a cycle. These are our favorite bibs for later when he starts to drool a lot. Onesies and bibs is where you will catch yourself doing a ton of laundry, so get a lot of them. Babies soil their clothes easy. Oh sorry, the bibs are kinda 4+ months, but for a newborn please don't forget a cap and mittens, they get cold because they can't regulate their arms and legs. Our son was pretty good. He would wake up ever 3 hours, we'd change him, feed him, and he'd go back to sleep. That went on for about a month and then it went to 4-5 hours and slowly he started to just stay up all day (That's where it gets rough). Let me know how it goes! Congrats!
edit: Oh, a vibrating swing is REALLY good for non-cosleeper comfort when you're in the living room or at the computer, etc.
Because links rock!
Drool and Spit Up Bandanna Bibs - these were our favorite. We used them almost immediately on our son because he spit up so much (he soaked through 7-10 of these a day, which would have meant 7-10 outfit changes without them!). I thought bibs weren't needed until they started eating (ha, cute Ernie, real cute). But no - these are absorbent and catch allthespitup and allthedrool and they snug up beautifully underneath the chin, which helps keep the moisture away from neck rolls (unlike U shaped bibs that don't snug up quite as well). There are literally hundreds of prints and manufactures all over Amazon - we had +/- 30 of them total from different sellers and they were all the exact same quality/pattern/fit.
My son's daycare provider preferred these cloth bibs as opposed to the bandanna bibs. I don't know why - they were just easier for her. They're cloth on both sides with an impenetrable crinkly plastic sandwiched between. Bonus - the crinkle entertained my son and he loved to shove these in his mouth and scrunch them.
Daycare also preferred these cloth bibs over the bandanna bibs. They're cloth like above but single layered with no plastic backing. They worked better for drool than spit up, but I still preferred the bandanna bibs.
Once my son started eating we were all about the silicone bibs. I liked these - they folded up small for the diaper bag, were easy to wash, easy to get on and off, and they fit well from about 6 months to... meh... 13ish months (though my son was routinely in the 20-30th% percentile for weight at this age).
Once my son outgrew those we went to these guys. They're bigger and have a bigger trough that stays open to catch food better. I love these. We have 4 in rotation. They're perfect. I have absolutely no complaints. My son is now in the 45th% range for weight at 15 months and they're perfect size.
EZPZ mini mat - we use it for every meal and when we go out to eat so he has a clean surface.
Silicone bibs with pockets - so easy to clean
Feeding Littles Instagram - a ton of good ideas and helpful supportive advice
Cups - munchkin 360 cup and the weighted straw cup
YAYS:
Chux pads, hands down, were the best purchase we made. Those saved us so much laundry and so many diapers. The link is hit or miss - one box we got was great and quilted, the second box was not quilted and they fall apart more easily. Which really sucks because we're not going through several a day anymore, so it has time to really fall apart before it gets soiled. Even the shitty ones are incredibly helpful.
A Haakaa breast milk catcher. Best money I've ever spent. I stopped using it every day at 11 months PP. 11 months of daily use.
An electronic nail file. I cut too close once, and decided I don't ever want to do that again. It's quiet, it has a little light on it, two speeds, and a bunch of different nail heads.
Stacking cups. Don't know why we even have other toys. Did you know you can throw them and chase after them and then throw them again, mom? You can put them inside each other! You can put them in the toy basket and then take them out and then put them back in again! You can knock them down when mom & dad foolishly stack them up! You can clack them together! You can bang them against EVERYTHING!!
This inflatable tub. It has a little shoehorn for the crotch so you can use it before baby can totally sit up by themselves. We're still using it because my child is dead set on committing suicide in the bathtub.
Sleeved bibs. Or as we like to call them, eatin' ponchos. We got some "art smock" cheaper ones to alternate with, but the Bumkins one is 👌👌👌 so much better. The art smocks are fabric-y on the body, so they stain.
A ring sling. No link because I actually borrowed from my local babywearing community. But I checked out a ring sling back to back to back. My chonker outgrew the Moby wrap I had (which was super hot and a PITA to get on and off) by 3 months when I finally discovered ring slings. Ring slings are like the cool, breezy older sister.
A yoga ball. We spent hours bouncing our child.
NAYS:
This Graco Swing. Well, any swing, but this is the one we had. Of the several swings at daycare, my baby tolerated one kind...for a few minutes. Obviously this is a my baby thing.
A walker. We got one used from a garage sale before we realized they're not really recommended for babies anymore.
Any chew-toy specific type teether.
I mean if she eats it all it’s not cheating. My little nephew has a food catching bib. Once he’s done eating he flips that sucker on his plate and eats the rest. What if she does something similar? Not saying she does, but if that were the intent (which it isn’t in this video) would it be cheating?
Well you hit the nail on the head, the image quality on the main photo was so bad they suppressed the item. I never noticed because I am still so new to this.

Here is the link because I will 100% gratefully take constructive criticism.
Rubber bibs are great as the baby enters the toddler years. I recommend getting ones without Velcro as the Velcro gets a disgusting stench after a few washes.

Congrats!! I really like these bibs. I removed the teether and attached a pacifier. Or I put my own teether.

Also soft baby toys, soft books, soft blocks.
If you purchase one bib, you've spent $12, $1.20 of which will supposedly go to charity. (I see nothing on there about charitable status or 501c, no mention of accounting or accountability, nothing. or anything. Plenty about what credit cards they take, though.
If you really like the bibs, by all means, buy a bib. I hope you get it.
If you really need bibs, you can get 10 for $14 on Amazon, and if you use Amazon Smile, a small portion of what you pay is donated to the charity if your choice.
But if you really want to feed children, send Feeding America a donation. Send them the $1.20 and feed someone for most of a week. Send them the entire $12 and feed a family of four for a week and a half. That'll do a lot more good than a bib.
Bibado Bibs.
Have a look at this bib. My wife and I use this for our daughter. There is still a lot of mess, but we don't need to change any clothes as the food only goes on her hands and face.
I couldn't recommend these bibs more.

I would definitely recommend getting some silicone bibs with the pouch at the bottom. Baby always drops about half his meal into the pouch, then reaches in to eat what dropped down. It saves a lot of food from falling on the floor!
We have these and like them: https://www.amazon.com/Happy-Healthy-Parent-Silicone-Easily/dp/B06XCXRVVW/ but I have also seen similar ones at Target. We also have a more fabric-type bib with a pouch, but it doesn’t work as well.
Our bumper group loves: kick n play piano, sit-me-up, the Winkel, the haaka, baby Brezza, love to dream swaddle, and (the holy grail) baby Merlin magic sleepsuit 🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
Also, these bibs ! So soft and absorbent and cute, and are amazing for when they start getting drooly so you don’t have to change their outfit over and over
These worked pretty well for our reflux-y drooler.

So I have been thinking about getting some bibs for DD and you're right about pink. My mom got us some gender neutral when we announced our pregnancy. But I saw these and thought they were cute. Some pink, but for the most part I felt girly but not overly.... girly...

Ah, sounds like they are for newborns! Found an alternate with other colors, I might try both.

I recommend that you get terrycloth diapers like this. You will need them for when your baby is in the constantly spitting up/drooling phase.
Also, I would get about one billion cloth diapers to use as burp cloths. These are good.
Another thing that saved our lives was a mobile for the crib. It occupied my LO for 5-10 minutes when I really needed to put him down for a minute to take a quick shower. This one is awesome.
Not sure what your philosophy is on pacifiers, but we used lots of them, and they disappear into the ether kind of like socks, so it's good to have lots.
Also, I highly recommend registering for some good nursing bras/tanks. I didn't get these until a couple months post-partum, and I wished I had gotten them sooner. I like this one.
Edit: Assumed you were nursing, but disregard the last one if you're not. :)
You are such a sweet sister!! Things I have had to recently run out and purchase for my 6-week old:
Gerber 0-3 or 3-6 month footie sleepers/pajamas that ZIP instead of button because trying to figure out buttons or snaps at 3:00 AM is torture
Tons of bibs-Amazon has some really cute bandana looking ones that have two sizing snaps so that bebe can use it now and as they grow

Lastly... what I would really love is someone to bring me dinner one night! I don't know if your sister works, but I have gone back to work now and cooking a meal when I get home is the last thing I want to do, I'd rather spend that time snuggling my baby! Maybe you could send a restaurant gift card so they could order take out? Would love a cleaning service, but that is pretty expensive.
I love my baby bum brush! It's a silicon spatula designed to put on diaper cream. No more cream under my nails! I also love the Oogie Boogie bear which helps get out stuck boogers. Oh and drool bibs are great too.
