Bring a couple of different sizes of clothing. I've seen a lot of babies smaller than what their paperwork said. Join the yahoo group that your child is from. You'll get great tips on the accuracy of the reports etc.
Bring a pill cutter and a pill cruncher. My dd was put on antibiotics but they were huge pills. I had to squish them with a spoon. It was terrible.
Do bring at least one bottle (regular cheap kind from the dollar store or walmart) and a few diapers. You may not get to shop before you get your child. Also, careful of the unusually shaped bottles (Avent and such) some babies will refuse them. One baby in our group refused to drink for a whole day until she got a "normal" bottle. Ours took the Avent with no issues.
The Airborne was a total waste of $ for us. We had a hard time remembering to take it and we ALL got sick. My DH, myself, my oldest dd, my new dd and my parents.
Lotion and baby oil. Non-allergenic stuff. Lots of rashes and dry skin in these babies.
First aid kit and all the non-prescription medication you think you or the baby may need.
Thin blanket (Gymboree has great ones that stay nice after many washes). Light weight jacket for baby if going South.
snack trap or silar (cup with "lips" to prevent snacks from falling out)
Small toys, small chunky books
