mommy's do I need all three?
We had our shower this past weekend and I was blessed enough to end up with the Snugabunny swing, snugabunny bouncer and the rock and play sleeper. Does/Did your baby use all three?
We did not and are not planning on using a pack n play- we are on one floor. I think the rock and play would be great for occasional naps in the living room.

Re: mommy's do I need all three?
The rock and play thing did not exist when DD was born, but I think it looks nifty. The swing and bouncer serve different purposes -- the swing is great because it swings, and the bouncer is great because it's a portable place to stash the baby. Some babies like bouncing, too (Helen couldn't have cared less about the bouncing/vibrating part). I'd keep all three. You never know what will work.
We had a swing and bouncer. Only used the bouncer when we needed to set him down for short periods of time. The swing was large and not as portable, so we left upstairs and never really used it. Developmentally, I'd always hear the PTs I work with preaching that it's not good for babies to sleep in the crouched up positions like car seat, bouncer, swing, rock and play, etc. I'm sure it wouldn't be a problem here and there, but we always aimed sleeping on the back flat...of course if it was one of 'those' days, we'd go with what works...but we tried to not make a habit out of using the accessories. But, you never know what your baby will like/need. I'd take one out and keep the rest in boxes. Open as you need them, but if not, you can return. By the 3 month mark if you haven't used one, I'd say return it.
I can't believe it's so soon for you! Exciting!
My IL's have a PNP at their house and we can use it if needed.
I am feeling the overkill our house feels like it's been taken over with baby stuff and LO isn't here yet.
I've heard great things about the RNP but havent found a need for it. We use the swing a lot (well, it lets me pump and shower). The cat has used the bouncer more than the baby.
They didn't have the RNP when the boys were little... but I think Carly said that Liam loved his.
The boys LOVED their swings... we used it for naps a lot and also a place for them to hang out while I was changing/feeding/otherwise engaging the other.
We never really used the bouncer because they either were hanging out in the swing, on the boppys or sleeping in their crib/PNP
