Baby!!!
These are gCloth inserts by gDiapers. We LOVE these inserts
I feel that they will work best in side the 'lil Joey diaper covers. gdiapers also makes Newborn sized diaper covers. Feel free to gift these as well.
They sell these on both the Babie'r'us and Target registries. Please note that I need these in either the Newborn or Small size.
In addition to diapers, we could also use a few new diaper accessories. This is called a pail liner - it is a reusable bag that goes into the diaper pail. I always kick myself for never buying one with Penelope (we have always just reused plastic shopping bags since we have always seemed to have a plethora of them around. But now we have started to use reusable shopping bags and/or ask for paper bags... so we don't have as many of them around anymore.)
We need two of these, they are on the Nicki's Diapers registry.
We also need more wipes. The ones we used with Penelope have pretty much all seen their last use. Penny usually poops on the toilet now, so we haven't had a need to buy more yet, but will definitely need more for the new baby.
These are on all three registry lists.
Bibs. We still use them with Penny, but even when she no longer needs them, I'm sure they'll be trashed. They're stained and pretty gross. New baby needs new bibs.
We are proud to officially announce on here that baby Primm #2 can be expected sometime this coming July! My due date is July 24th - and baby is a girl!
We couldn't be more excited! It's wonderful that we'll have two girls that are close in age and will hopefully grow up to be good friends.
I have begun to do a few registries, fortunately there is not as much to get as there was when we were pregnant with Penny, but I mostly started this for me, to start planning and organizing what I feel that we'll need... and also some fun stuff that would be nice. But I know how others like to plan to... so I thought that I would share our wish list and registry links on here for everyone:

Target
Babies'R'us
Nicki's Diapers
Pottery Barn Kids
Babies'R'us
Nicki's Diapers
Pottery Barn Kids
The registries for Target and Babies'r'us are pretty much the same. If you haven't heard of Nicki's Diapers, it is an online diaper store that carries many brands of cloth diapers and natural baby products. As many of you already know, we use cloth diapers with Penelope and plan to do the same with baby #2. This being said, please refrain from gifting disposable diapers. Nicki's Diapers also has an actual store in Madison, WI... so if you happen down that way, it's worth a visit - it's like cloth diaper heaven!
Our registry at Pottery Barn Kids is more for specialized gifts that are not essential, but would be nice. There are a few keepsake items that we had gotten for Penelope from there when she was born (a personalized chamois baby blanket (that is her special baby blanket), an Abbey doll (that was her first baby doll, an essential for little girls!), and the essential, personalized footie and hat set (as her take home outfit)) that would be wonderful to have for baby #2 too. The girls will be sharing a room - Penny in a twin bed and baby in Penny's old crib... so I also added some matching bedding items that would be cute to make things coordinate better as well as some special items that would be cute for big sister, Penelope.
I will also note that gift cards for any of the four places mentioned above are also much appreciated.
To make shopping a bit easier, I thought that I would just mention a few things that are on our "much needed" list. These are things that we will have to buy before baby comes... pretty much everything else on the registries are for fun.
Though we have a good stash of One-size cloth diapers from Penelope, they won't really fit baby well until she's almost 10 lbs. For Penelope, this took a few months and we had to use disposables. Though we were only using disposables for two months, we still ended up spending over $300 on them... and that was in addition to the many packs that we had gotten as gifts.
This time around, we plan on investing in Newborn sized cloth diapers to get us through the itty bitty baby phase until baby is big enough to fit into the One-size diapers. We calculated it out and purchasing cloth Newborn diapers will still be cheaper than purchasing Newborn sized disposables, even if we only end up using them for a few months. PLUS we can either reuse them, if we ever decide to have a 3rd baby or we can resell them to get some money back... not to mention that they're much better for baby's delicate skin.

This is the Newborn sized cloth diaper cover by 'lil Joey.
We have decided to use a combination of diaper cover/prefolds and all-in-one style cloth diapers. We will need about 6 of the little Joey diaper covers as well as a good amount of prefolds and all-in-one diapers (see our registry at Nicki's Diapers).
*Note that all of the registries have at least a few cloth diapers listed on them. We welcome any cloth diapers that we have listed on the registries.

Maclaren Twin Techno Stroller
I have agonized and agonized over which double stroller to get. We have the single version of this stroller and LOVE it. I realize that there are many double strollers that steer a lot easier... but those are all jogging strollers... and those take up the entire trunk. So I have settled on this. We just love that we can have it in our trunk for when we need it without worrying about if we have enough room to store bags from impromptu shopping trips.
(It would also be awesome to have the organizer pouch that they make to hang off the back of the stroller for extra storage.)
These are the car seats we currently have for the girls: The Britax Frontier 85, for Penelope and baby will be using the Britax Boulevard 70 (which Penelope is currently using). A second set would be amazing, but are not essential. It would definitely be nice to be able to have a set for both my and Alan's cars though.
***UPDATE: so we have PLENTY of baby girl clothes. We could, however, use a few NEWBORN sized sleepers and maybe a size NEWBORN outfit or two to get baby through those first, few weeks. We could also use 0-3 months sized sleepers, 3-6 month sized onesies (long or short sleeved), waterproof Bumpkins or Skiphop bibs, muslin swaddle blankets and newborn sized cloth diapers and nappys.
