This list is shared in love, and under the assumption you live within an hour of a major metropolitan area, with access to the shopping that implies. This is also coming from someone who has experience breastfeeding (successfully and unsuccessfully), bottle-feeding, exclusively pumping long-term, premature birth, and XL babies.
Crib.
If you're planning to nurse your newborn, plan to cosleep safely in the beginning, as this will help everyone in the family to enjoy as much rest (and snuggles) possible. If you prefer baby to have their own space, a bassinet or playpen will suffice, and are fairly portable. A floor bed is quite practical to supporting independent movement, or simply start with a toddler bed.
Changing Table.
You will need some kind of diaper changing station, equipped with some kind of barrier, diapers, wipes, ointment or coconut oil, and a disposal vessel. It is very possible that a table isn't the most effective solution to this task, particularly in the newborn stage when such a station can be created upon a low dresser, made to be portable (or both). Consider your approach, and whether or not this will be useful, or cumbersome.
Bottles.
You may need them, true, so do a little window shopping prior to delivery. Do not buy what you do not need. You can easily attain bottles within 2-hours, should you need them. The same is true of pacifiers, nursing accessories, any variety of hygiene product.
Toys.
Brand new babies do not play. They do not care for anything beyond their mother for the first several weeks. When they do begin to play, they will be much enamored of their immediate environment for weeks or even months, so be sure that it is clean and beautiful prior to giving birth. One or two plush buddies, mirrors at their level, and a wood rattle truly will suffice prior to teething.
(Most) Clothes.
Brand new babies do not make the best dolls. Fortunately, you are unlikely to want to play much dress-up in the first few weeks of motherhood. You may go through several outfits a day, however. With that many changes, simplicity is often of the essence. You will want some cute, fun, seasonal outfits, but the overwhelming majority of clothing for baby will likely be simple zipper sleepers for the first six months.
Nursing Accessories.
Nursing can be simple or complex, but it's best to save your money and time to let your nursing relationship develop as it will. Those things will always be there if you want them.
All Gadgets.
It sanitizes bottles? Warms wipes? Rocks your baby? Makes whale sounds at a healing frequency? Cool. Set the money you would spend on the item aside prior to birth, and let that money make a little interest for you while real life happens with your actual baby. This demonstrates diligence with resources, acknowledges limitations, and assumes confidence: all traits needed of wise parents. You are welcome to research items prior to need of them, but may I suggest that little to no actual need may be encountered when caring for your real child. After five babies, I do not recommend a single gadget.
Baby Containers.
After five babies, I do not recommend a single swing, chair, walker, or other type of child containment beyond a blanket on the floor. It is quite easy to adapt a space to a child, and highly recommended to teach children how to interact with and care for their space as soon as they are engaging with it. A collapsible playpen is wonderful for keeping infants in a safe place, and can even be taken outdoors to allow your baby to enjoy sunshine and fresh air.
Stroller.
This will likely be needed at some point, but which one and when depends very much upon your lifestyle. For the first three to six months, an inexpensive wrap or ring sling are comfortable and versatile for both mother and baby. However, if you already have well-established habits that you want to incorporate your baby into as soon as they're born, a stroller may be a good investment to make ahead of birth.
