You're missing the baby!!!!!HA!HA!
You're kidding, right? Seriously, when babies are tiny they wet/poop through everything. So I'd go with more newborn onesies (they can go under the track suits, but a onesie offers your best chance for surviving a diaper blowout! I doubt you'll ever use the 6 crib sheets--go for 2, but get a few of the crib-size waterproof pads. If you put small waterproof pads in all the baby gear (swing, carseat, etc.) you'll save the fabric. Good luck!
More onesies for sure - as Sahmmy said. And perhaps more pants to put over them - it will be winter. Also we found a winter coat style outfit was great - like a onesie but made of winter coat material. Cloth diapers - several dozen for wiping up spit, burp clothes, etc.
If you're bottle feeding I'd get more bibs. If you do a load of laundry everyday you can probably get by with what you've got.
I didn't have much problem with messy poopisodes like other moms do... but, maybe a few more plain onesies. Skip the NB size. Baby can always wear clothes a bit baggy.
