Welcome to IslamicBoard. You will find many helpful members here
If you have an internet connection, you probably wouldn't need to buy an audio Qur'an. There are several websites on which you can read and listen the recitation of Qur'an online. We also have a Qur'an link at top which you might find useful . http://www.islamicboard.com/Quran.html
For finding the Qibla, you can go to http://www.qiblalocator.com/ and zoom in at your location to find the exact direction. You don't need a special prayer mat either, you can simply pray on any clean surface. You can keep a clean piece of cloth aside for praying purpose.
Very concise intro. Masha Allah. Don't rush, would be my first advice. You have a lot of ground to cover and it would be a challenging one. It seems that your heart is set in the right direction and that is important.

Any replies will be received bwith thanks
Alhamdulillah! Allah, in the Most Merciful, has put it in your heart to return to Islam. May He make it easy on you, and may He guide both you and us upon the straight way.
there is a wealth of information available to you, and us. As you have a small child, i would urge you to seek things that show the beauty of Islam. i would also urge you to refresh yourself in the Arabic language. try to remember that you are not Alone. Allah's knowledge of everything that happens is complete. Allah is with those that are patient, so be patient and call upon Allah, in prayer and du'a to assist you.
the beauty of Islam always strikes my heart the most. We have the Qur'an and the story of Rasulullah to help us. here are a couple links to the Prophet's story:
Had the non-believer known of all the Mercy which is in the Hands of Allah, he would not lose hope of entering Paradise, and had the believer known of all the punishment which is present with Allah, he would not consider himself safe from the Hell-Fire http://www.muftimenk.co.za/Downloads.html
