I should know better...

So with my first pg I bought 2 bella-bands on a GREAT sale but never needed them and I bought my parents grandparent bibs to tell them.  Then my 2nd pregnancy I wasn't going to buy anything until 20 weeks.  So I should know better than to buy anything this early in the game BUT tomorrow is DH's birthday and I bought him a little red onesie that says "My Dad is cooler than yours" hahah!  I just wanted a "#1 Dad" bib or something but the selection was limited and I didn't feel like going to multiple stores or searching through racks (at Target).  Has anyone else bought anything?  Anyone want to make me feel a little less like a crazy person?! 

(for now)...

Nice!  I haven't bought anything for the baby, since we have TONS of stuff, but I did buy myself a new pair of mat pants.  They were necessary, since I don't fit any of my regular pants and my old mat pants have kicked the bucket.

I bought my husband a UT onesie, and UT booties!! He loved them!! I'm sure your husband will love the red onesie!!!!

My mom is so excited she has already bought carseats, cribs and a pack n play. I told her that while I'm beyond grateful for her generosity, those things need to stay at her house until the 2nd trimester.

Thanks ladies  Holy cow @Mrs550 at least you're prepared?!?! My mom will be the same way once I give her the green light though (first grandchild).  

@dhaas1313 yeah I will be buying full on NE Patriots gear shortly!!  Baby needs to be prepared for such sporting events!

@littlebaker5 my clothes are already fitting so snug.  I'm so bloated alll of the time.  I may need to break down & buy something more comfy soon!

@Ooopsbaby14 I hear ya, we saw it this morning which is partially why I felt at all ok in buying it.  I let him open the presents early (since we will be busy all day tomorrow) so he already got it & loves it

I haven't yet, but I was *this* close to stepping foot into Carter's today when I was next door. I never bought anything for my previous babies, but have a bin of stuff from my family from last Christmas waiting to come out of hiding.

I think if things look good Wednesday and next Tuesday with both of my u/s's I'm going to buy something. We deserve to be happy and excited damnit! I hope DH loves it

We bought a Canucks Bib (leather so you can just wipe it and it lasts longer then plastic) at the Fair this weekend...mostly because it was a unique item that would be super awesome that you are not going to find in a store.

We also bought baby DC shoes when they were on clearance 2 years ago for "one day"...so we are not going crazy, but are finding little things here and there that just can't be passed up.

I like the way you think  Although I think I'd have a full room by now if I picked up things like that! haha.

I bought a used Rock n Play.  How did you not use your bella bands?!  Mine was definitely my most used article of maternity clothing!  In faaaaact.....I should buy another.....

Sorry for the confusion.  My first 2 pg were miscarriages.  So I never got far enough along to need them (hense why I should know better than to buy anything!).

I bought a onesie to tell my mom but that's it. I may or may not have started knitting something despite not having been to the doc yet, but knitting takes a long time!

Oh shit, I'm sorry.  Foot in mouth.

NBD I almost put an awkward gif about "foot in mouth".  Actually I feel the need to do it now (for pure entertainment reasons, I'm not upset in the least bit). 

HAHA OMG this is not what I was originally going for but it's hilarious:

And this is just fucking creepy.  Sorry in advance for any nightmares:
