First time mommas if I could recommend some must have items for you and your baby (aside from essentials):

1.Baby carrier -trust me, there is nothing more tiring than holding a baby and carrying it around with you when you're trying to get stuff done or just trying to eat, etc.!

2. Baby rocker or swing (or both if you can afford it!! When they're fussy, these are a godsend!!!)

3. boppie pillow. I thought this was not a necessity until I started breastfeeding. It is so much more comfortable for you and the baby than just an ordinary pillow.

4. Rocking chair. Your back and neck will thank you!!

5. A bottle sterilizer and cleaner. This saves so much time when you're pumping and breastfeeding/bottle feeding. Otherwise you seriously feel like you spend half the day cleaning your pump equipment/bottles.

6. hands free breast pump bra/top/equipment. It is much better than having to hold those suckers to your tits and wait around to be done.

The last two items I actually don't even have but I plan on getting them. From experience, I can tell you, they both save a lot of time and effort and they make you more comfortable and happy. You're going to be plenty busy as it is so anything that makes momma more comfortable or saves her time...it is worth the extra money.
