Congratulations.
My two cents worth. Baby monitors are ok depending on what size house you got and where you think the baby might sleep. If in your room to begin with don't bother but in another room or upstairs perhaps. I must admit that I bought one and actually took it back as I could not get a decent reception with it.
A baby thermometer is an expensive must. It must easier to take a child/baby's temperature with one of those that go in the ear then the old fashion ones that you have to put in their mouths. I bought one just before my son was born and he is now 5 and it still in use. One of those things that can be used for everyone in the family.
A baby bag is essential a microwave sterilizer is very handy.
Another handy bit of furniture is a high chair. I bought one of the ones that can be a high chair and then convert into a table and chair for when they are much older.
