Baby purchases!

MJDsquared

I think I desperately need this because penguins are my favorite. But like...how do I decide which size?! I need all the sizes so she can wear it forever!

@MJDsquared That's adorable!  FWIW, for cute things we really want to see the kid wear, DH and I have decided to not go any smaller than 9mon or a year in sizing.  We figure that even if this kiddo is chunky, then we'll get to enjoy it for at least a while... and if he's on the smaller side, we'll get to enjoy before too long.

@kyrwyn I think I'll have to get 9 or 12 mo! I like that logic.

I can't stop buying stuff (or looking, which then makes me want to buy)...even though I know my mom, MIL, and tons of people at my shower will be buying us clothes. But I'm guessing shower clothes will probably be NB/3/6 mostly? STMs, correct me if I'm wrong!

@alysapuggles  Is it sad I knew exactly where those clothes were from before you said anything? DD is almost 2 and I am an Old Navy/Gap addict.

alysapuggles

@jlemons-2 Lol Me too, girl. Me too.

I have a cart full of gap sale items but haven't pulled the trigger on anything. I really need to go through my daughter's old clothes to see what we need...

NME44

Scratch that. I had a 40% off code so I went ahead and bought some things 

MrsWifey89

@NME44 you should show us some of your favorite purchases ... because who doesn't love baby gap 

NME44

@MrsWifey89, I only shopped the sale pages because I would've gone overboard otherwise. I also went back and just grabbed some stuff for my big kids too. But this is what I got for baby girl, minus the green pants...those are for my son. 

MrsWifey89

@NME44 I love the bear sweater and the little red dress! We got almost the exact same dress for our niece (except it has spaghetti straps) I might be secretly hoping that we get it as a hand me down. 

NME44

@MrsWifey89, I got my niece a Wonder Woman dress last year at Christmastime. I wish they would send that on back this way too...

These are the cute things I got at roots the other day

MrsWifey89

@kvacmak very cute! How much was the one piece if you don't mind me asking? Seems perfect for an albertan winter baby 

MrsWifey89

Also @kvacmak what kind of items where in your baby box? I found the site to be somewhat vague, I did the course so I'm wondering if the box is worth while to pick up. 

jlemons-2

Just went crazy a time Target, I don't know what happened! I'll post theblanket I bought later. 

MJDsquared

We're at my mom's and also went crazy at Target. I'm overwhelmed by how much clothing she already has...and I know there will be muuuuuch more before she gets here! 

jlemons-2

@MJDsquared it's inevitable, just accept it. Girls clothes always get out of control and it's great!

failuretofly

@MrsWifey89 ummmm the one piece was I think $25 on sale... and the baby box was the box, mattress and sheet, and full pack of newborn diapers, a sample pack of wipes, sample of Cetaphil, a zipper wet bag, and onesie and coupons. I thought it was worth it, even if just for he diapers!

MrsWifey89

@kvacmak good to know. Thank you

@MJDsquared I got these strawberry butt sleepers for DD in every size from NB to 12 months. We hung them at her 1st birthday party, and we will reuse them for DD2 too! If I find something that is just too cute or I can't pass it up, you betcha I'm buying multiple sizes!!

First clothing purchase for DD2: a onesie that says "little sister" on it.

MrsWifey89

After hearing all you Momma's rave about Rock and Plays, I couldn't pass up this deal. 50% off at babies r us so we got this cute little one for $60. Hopefully our little babe will like it! If you ladies haven't checked out the sales they have a lot going on until the 10th   

splsmama2016

@MrsWifey89 that ones way cooler than the one we got for DD1!! Ours auto rocks, vibrates and plays soothing sounds, but has no canopy. That's neat!!

jlemons-2

@MrsWifey89 I have the lamb swing and it's just so stinking cute!

Tennis11785

@MrsWifey89 the lamb one is super cute. I have the puppy one on my list! 

MrsWifey89

@jlemons-2 I saw the lamb chair and it's also super cute. I love that they're gender neutral. This is our first LO so I'm trying really hard to keep in mind that our next would could be a boy


@Tennis11785 there's a puppy one?!!! If I would have seen that one it definitely would have been the one I purchased, sale or no sale lol. #crazydoglady

jlemons-2

I just tried finding this on their sight and I can't! Can you post a link? They might be sold out. @MrsWifey89

jlemons-2

@Tennis11785 I love the puppy one, it's adorable. My RNP is the monkey one from a few years ago but it isnt the fancy one that they make now. 

MrsWifey89

@jlemons-2 I'm in Canada and guessing you aren't. 

I checked the American site and can't find it either

edited to add that it's not on sale on the website either, you actually have to go into the store.

We finally decided on which double stroller to get. If DS1 was a little younger, I would have went with the city mini double but because he probably only has a year left in the stroller, we opted for one that would work with the infant Carrier we already have. 

We got the graco click connect ready to grow onyx stroller which can go 12 ways apparently.  I'm just glad we finally made a decision lol

My sweet haul from Old Navy!!! 

blueskies17

Went a little crazy at the Carter's outlet today! DH made me buy the sports related stuff. If it were up to me, I would dress baby as a bear everyday.  

MJDsquared

We always come home from my mom's with more than we came with, even before getting pregnant, but this time has to be a record. We bought a hamper for the nursery yesterday and it's full and then some--mostly with baby clothes. Some my mom bought since we were last here, and then a bunch more she bought when we went shopping yesterday and today. Haha, yikes!

Team Dress Baby as Bear Every Day!!
I have that same bear outfit in NB & 3months sizes. + a few of the Zutano hats with ears.  

moonlady-2

I still haven't bought a single thing. Not even clothes!

Partly because we JUST moved into our house and we didn't have anywhere to put anything prior, and partly because I know that once I start I probably won't stop....lol....

Anyone else?! I feel like I'm the only one!

tmk0325

@moonlady-2 I have only bought one gender neutral christmas sleeper with bib I found on clearance. We are team green and its a good thing because if I knew this baby was a girl, she'd have so many clothes already.  I have bins of boy clothes and at least 3 months of gender neutral clothes, so I'm trying to hold of buying anything additional til the baby arrives! 

dkizz82

I seriously need to stop but I couldn't resist. 

babytimeagain

@dkizz82 That is so stinking cute!! I especially love the little butt flap. Precious!

@blueskies17 After I got to thinking about wintertime strolls yesterday, I ordered this:

https://www.llbean.com/llb/shop/52109?feat=289-GN3&page=infants-hi-loft-fleece-coveralls&csp=f

I am also on Team Dress as a Bear every day!
 
@dkizz82 I like where your head's at!  So cute!!  I added a bunch of Christmas-themed sleepers to my registry yesterday lol.  I'm like, with the edd timing what's so bad about putting baby in Christmas-themed everything for a few weeks?  

blueskies17

@whiska ahhh love!! I've now collected three one pieces like this.  #TeamBear all the way! cc: @Amber_Waves

I fully support #TeamBear, but I have a feeling my kid will be team dress like a dinosaur.  Can #TeamBear and #TeamT-rex be buddies?
