What Do You Really NEED for a New Born?

We're trying to plan and be as prepared as necessary for our first born who is scheduled to arrive in Sept. We do not want to have lots of unnecessary "stuff". We are going to try for a family bed and see how it works, but should I have a back-up crib? Bassinet? Without being wasteful, what are the most important things to have as far as furniture and supplies for a new born? What would you recommend I buy new & what can I get second hand(craigslist has great baby/kid stuff)? Thanks for your time:)

Where Can I Find a "Big Brother" Shirt?

I have a 2 year old son who is expecting a baby brother soon. I really want to do everything I can to prepare him and make it fun for him. One thing I want to do is get him a "I'm a big brother" shirt. I don't want to order one online unless there are no shipping costs. Anyone know of any common local retailers that carry shirts like these? Thanks, A.
