the most important thing to get for the baby to wear for the first month is clothing with mitten cuffs!!!
when they are newborns they need them so they don't scratch their face, but hardly any of the outfits have them. I really like the one piece romper things which have legs and feet and mitten cuffs. you can also get the rompers without them and just put on one of those long sleeved mitten cuffed shirts underneath it.
as far as those shirts are concerned, i'd get the snap-front if you can, those are easier to put on than the ones that go over the head.
i wish i had known about this beforehand because i would have made different choices about clothing that i bought!!

WOW you got most of it covered
I highly recommend using gro bags instead of donas
and adding sleep supports to your list as these stop baby rolling in his/her sleep.

Slow down, don't rush out just yet. You've got too much stuff. Have fun trying!!!

You have more than enough… But I don't think I saw a nursing pillow on the list. That's the only thing I see missing.

I think you have gone WAAAAY overboard with some of the clothing, 0000 stuff will not last long— 14 singlets???? the singlets do last a while though luckily i was using 0000 singlets on my son when he was 4 months which was good, but everything else he grew out of very quickly.
All ur 000 stuff sounds a little crazy too, you may find you end up with brand new clothing going into the "too small" pile, on the other hand tho you may have a messy bub
Apparently the "easy suits" are the hardest things in the world to use, never used them myself however, and if the bath you have is one of those jobs with a hammock, I found it no good for my bub born just when the weather was cooling, coz it was too cold to have him wet and in the cool air.
YOU CAN NEVER HAVE TOO MANY BIBS!! I have around 30 I think and at one stage I was struggling to keep fresh ones in the cupboard as baby was spitting up sooo much.
Have you thought about things like thermometer, beanies/bonnets

Just wanted to say that I love my angelcare sound/movement monitor. I couldn't sleep without it.
