Answer
Crib
Carseat
Bottles
Swaddling blanket
Play mat (can be used on floor as changing mat too)
These are the basic basic needs for me. You can get by without the others but not these.
The annual costs for a baby each year is different for every person. Some woman breast feed which is cheaper than formula. Others use cloth diapers which are cheaper than disposable etc.
I bought a pack of 15 reusable pea pod diapers for $70. These can be used from newborn right up to 3 years, so I only bought 1 pack of disposable diapers during the first year, to see what was better. Diapers are about $10 (new Zealand dollars) a pack. Babies go through about 5-10 nappies each day in the first few weeks, and then about 3-5 a day from around 4 months to a year. So do the math and it'll give you an approximate answer (get the price of diapers from your local supermarket).
If breast fed, it cost nothing. I breast fed, but I also bought a breast pump and baby bottles for $150 in case baby needed to be left with another person etc. if formula feeding, do some research online on the average formula used a month, and then times that by 12 (12 months in a year) get a price from your local supermarket.
Clothes- this depends on where you buy from etc, but I spent about $800 on all clothes up to 12 months. (including shoes, socks, togs, pyjamas etc)
I spent about $20 or so on baby shampoo, soap and powder every 6 or so weeks, so that's about $180 a year.
I bought baby towels and facecloths before my baby was born and they lasted right up until she was four. I spent $30 on 5 towels and a couple packs of facecloths.
Bibs- got given some at baby shower, but bought a few packs for $20 around about, these lasted the whole time needed.
Bassinet/Moses basket - needed for first 8 weeks, cost me $80
Crib- needed up until about 2- cost me $250
Stroller- needed up until about 3- cost me $150
Car seat- Bought a seat that was used from birth til 4 years. Cost $150
Blankets, sheets, duvets for crib- got given some at baby shower but probably costs about $100 for a couple pairs of sheets, blankets etc
Swaddling blankets- needed for first few weeks (I used them but not necessary) depending on brand etc but I got a few muslin wraps for $30.
Baby bath- optional, but I used one. $30
Medication such as baby Tylenol, gripe water, teething gel, teething powder etc about $50 all up the first year (depends)
Baby food- baby cereals, rusks, custards and other tinned foods probably about $90 a month (depends how much food baby eats. This price is based on my baby who at 7 months ate 2 tins a day, at $1.50 each) I also bought veggies and meat, and puréed these myself for baby. (this price will depend, as some babies don't start real food until a year old) my girl at 10-12 months was eating the same foods as I was.
Some people will put their children into childcare, this is another cost.
Where I live, medical attention for under 5's is free, but many people will have to pay for this as well.
Hope I haven't forgotten anything :)
Hope I helped!

Answer
I didn't know they had pageants in New Zealand! That's awesome and good luck =]
If you can, start pilates. It'll give you a really toned tummy. Let me know what city you're from (you can email me if you like) and I can find you a pilates studio in your city. It's great if you have one on one classes because your instructor can help you. If not classes are good too.
If you can't do pilates, see if you can buy a swiss ball. That's a large exercise ball. I think you can buy them at the Wharehouse pretty cheaply. http://www.jumpusa.com/swissexercises2.html
There are so exercises on that site to do.
If you're fit enough, go for a 30minute jog every day. If not, try go for a brisk walk. You need to get your heart rate up so walk fast and go up hills if you can.
Push ups and sit ups are good as well. Just keep moving. You can dance in your room to music, it's a great way to work out and fun.
Drink ONLY water. Go and buy a Super Pump and drink two of those a day (I mean just refill it twice). You can drink a glass of low fat milk as well, but try and cut out fizzy and juice.
For snacks eat fruit and veges. Have carrot sticks, bananas, celery sticks, apple slices etc. Try and avoid dips if you can, other wise get 'lite philly'.
For breakfast try porridge (it's getting colder so it'll help you get up in the morning) with honey or a little bit of brown sugar.
For morning tea try have an apple or some low fat rice crackers (I love Sea Salt and Vinegar Snackatas, they taste like salt and vinegar chips, but they're WAY better for you).
For lunch, try a sandwich (bread is good, get wholegrain) and have ham or chicken or turkey and lettuce, tomato, cucumber, low fat mayo etc etc. Have an apple and banana as well or maybe low fat yogurt.
For afternoon tea, try soup or porridge again or maybe fruit again.
For dinner, try fish (look for the stuff with omega 3 acid, it makes you smarter =]) or chicken breast (with skin removed) or lean beef. Steamed veges and rice.
For dessert, try (low fat) yogurt and fruit salad (in juice, not syrup).
You'll be fine to have some 'bad food' once and a while but fruit and veges and water are all really good for you
Good luck =]
