You should get some stuff for you too like a good pair of comfy slippers and robe. Comfortable breastfeeding shirts and nursing bras if your going to be breastfeeding.
7. Well as always, bibs, socks, onsies, recieving cloths, blankets, baby monitors (depending on the size of your house, but like most mothers you probably will know when your little one is crying), diaper bag, swing, stroller, bassinet, crib, changing table. Unusual things are: cant quite remember the name, but it is like a firm pillow that you adjust to the baby so that they dont turn on their sides, rocking chair. But the most memorable gifts to recieve are: Piggy banks, Treasure boxes, memory books, picture frames, and The Fussy Baby Book (it has baby cry meanings in it, I honestly dont know how we would have gotten along without it). These are just some basics I'm sure there are things you would want for baby that others dont use. Everyone's different! Good Luck and Congratualtions!
