I am in desperate need of a few baby items before my son is born...Please read...

Granted by Heroes: megankills, dfetter54, amy42431
I am in desperate need of a few items before my son arrives. I am due June 16th, 2012 though the baby is measuring a bit larger and the doctor does not think it will be much longer now.
I was diagnosed with PUPPPS rash about 2 weeks ago and have a VERY severe case of it and was put on bedrest back in November due to being high risk after having had 2 miscarriages. This means I have been out of work and my husband and I have been barely making ends meet with his $698.00 disability check each month (he is permanently disabled and unable to work). This is my first child of my own, though he has 5 from his previous relationship which we recently got custody of due to the bio mom being unfit and some mental and physical abuse that the children had to deal with so now we are caring solely for the children and are fighting with the mother for child support. Needless to say with me being out of work and us trying to make ends meet with only my husbands income things are very rough right now.
A friend of mine offered me a crib but then last second when I was ready to pick it up said she could not find all the pieces.

I am just trying to get the things together that my son will need before he arrives. Any little bit would help...

I am looking for the following:

*A Bassinet (Anything he could sleep in for a couple months until we get back on our feet)
*Bassinet Sheets
*Bouncy Seat
*Carseat headrest (I thought the carseat I had came with one, but it does not)
*I am going to breastfeed to give my baby the best nutrition I am able to so I could use any breast pads, nursing tanks, tees, bras or nightgowns (Size Small or Medium Nursing clothing and size 38C or 38D Bras)
*Any baby boy clothing size newborn and up
*Diaper Bag

If anyone could find it in their hearts to help us with anything, we would be forever grateful. Used items are more than fine, and would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you all who were able to contribute to our baby needs. Our baby boy was born June 6th and is doing awesome. Thank you all again!

I have a few nursing shirts, one tank and one long sleeve and some bras ( I hardly wore them, I ended up pumping milk for 6 months because my son is tube fed, so I didn't need them.) I also have some baby boy clothes. I can send you. I have a carseat headrest too :) message me your address and I can send them out on Thurdsay when I get paid. I know exactly what you're going through. My son came at 34 weeks only 2 weeks after we moved into a new house. I was already on bed rest when we moved. I had nothing for him. My heroes helped me. I'm happy to be able to help.

I have one medium sized nursing tank top. A bit of advice because I've been breastfeeding for 9 months, I gave up on nursing bras and started wearing loose sports bras. I lost my patience with hand washing a bra each time i leaked, it was just crazy with everything else going on. I think I may also have a diaper back I no longer use. let me know if you're interested

I have checked with some local services, but was not able to find much I could use...I did however find a bassinet today at Salvation Army so I am no longer in need of a bassinet! :)

have you tried to see if there is a local emergency infant services in your area or a pregnancy center. Most pregnancy centers have items for baby. Check with them and see if they have anything you can use/need.

I found a bassinet at Walmart.com for $39.97
I do not have funds for it at this time, but if anyone can find a store with a better deal than that, please let me know. All the used ones I see on Craigslist are like an hour drive from me and cost like $25-$30 used so I am trying to see what I can come up with. Thanks
