They say you can go through 80 diapers a week. I would get more diapers, so you don't have to run out for the first 3-4 weeks to get more.
You need a stroller and a hat for her, so that she doesn't get the sun in her eyes when you go out for a walk.
Bottles and formula or a breast pump and bottles, so you are not chained to her morning noon and night.

You probably won't make it through that pack of newborn diapers. Unless you have a tiny baby... they usually grow out of those within a week or two.
Stock up on size 3s... I seem to be using them for about 3-4 months now. Lots of wipes!!!
I recommend washable breast pads.... they are just as absorbent as the disposable ones, and are much cheaper and more comfortable.... I know Gerber makes some, and I think Kushies does too.
Congrats... my daughter was born May 5 last year.... it's a great time of year to have a baby!!!
I highly recommend a bouncy chair and a snuggly... so you can have a shower, and get some housework done. Maybe a swing... some babies don't like them... others love them... it depends if your baby likes to be rocked or bounced.

You sound like you're off to a GREAT start! Good job. Just a couple other things to think about: pacifiers if you plan to use them, bottles and formula or a breast pump if you will nurse, disposable baby wash cloths (which you won't need for a week or so and then only once or twice a week for a month or two), and a couple gowns. The gowns are great because they are comfy for the baby, no snaps for you and make changing SUPER easy! Best of luck!
Don't go too diaper crazy. My co-worker's daughter had a son in November and within 2 weeks, he already outgrew his newborn diapers. She had tons of extras and ended up giving them to me (I'll be due in early June). You also have to be cautious about the clothes, since children will grow fairly quickly. Do you have enough bottles and maybe a pacifier? I'm investing in an infant swing because I've heard that most babies love them. You sound well prepapred, so congratulations!
