Answer
The way you are feeling is natural. There is a very large group of us parents that feel the same way as you. It's called attachment parenting. Here's a couple of links describing it:

I recommend a good sling or wrap. You'd be amazed how easy it is to carry your baby with it, and if you are wearing it right it doesn't hurt your back or shoulders. I don't recommend one of the backpack shaped carriers or a sling you could buy at Walmart or Target. They hurt. I can even carry my 3 year old on my hip with my sling, or I could make the same sling smaller and carry my newborn in it all in the same hour (my baby started in it at 6 days old).

Any that you found especially useful,convenient,
or that baby thought was fun.
Any recommendations?
No I am NOT pregnant.
Compiling a list for baby shower gifts,and thought who knows better than people who are already Parents,what could be most useful.
Answer
-I loved the Snugli carrier- we also used a sling.
-nursing clothes by Motherwear (check ebay for deals) are great for nursing in public if you plan to. Lansinoh breast pads were the best.
-I can say with confidence that I will never buy a highchair again- I would save the money and get the $14 Walmart one that straps to a chair- it's just as good!
-For a stroller, definitely pick one that you can open and close with one hand. Anything else is too much of a pain- especially if you fly.
-Happy Baby manual food grinder- you can take it anywhere and just grind up your healthy family dinner for baby.
-My son's fave toy was the Ball Blaster, the balls swirl down and come out the bottom.
-car seat- definitely the Britax Roundabout- it's a little more pricey but the easiest one I have ever used. For an infant seat I liked the Stay In View by Fisher Price but they stopped making it and it would be hard to find new now. (I had a hard time 3 yrs ago w. my youngest!) I liked the carry strap.
-I have a First Years vinyl changing pad that has pockets for a couple diapers and travel wipes- it was great.
-I would suggest a backpack instead of a diaper bag, it's just so much easier! If you don't bottle feed, they really don't need much space- I have thrown the changer (above) and a couple toys into my purse and been fine.
My ultimate advice- babies need far less crap than you think. With each child my list of "things needed for baby" just gets smaller and smaller.
Congrats!
