Thanks, 72andsunny. Because of our now-massive luggage allowance, we'll bring our playard, which will serve as a crib. In my experience, the babe will wind up sleeping with me for the first several months anyway!
Our current position is to pack everything that will fit and leave many things behind in NZ. I'm assuming there are places I can donate a bunch of baby clothes, a playard, a swing, and baby toys.
We also decided to send my husband on ahead in January. The girls and I will follow after the baby is born. We'll bring a portable high chair, everyone's car seats, and the baby monitor. So, now all I need for the babe is a rocking chair! I will sorely miss my gliding rocker, but anything will work!
Everyone is very excited now. My husband departs in 14 days.
