2nd Trimester

Anyone not really into doing the Baby stuff yet?

Ok so for those who think I might mean not being into being Pregnant ..No I mean just haven't gotton into the mood yet of shopping-planning-and such...Now as for New Mommies to be yes it is the greatest time ever and you have already started I am sure..It is one of the best parts of the adventure..

But for anyone on #2-etc....baby..?

I have a son who just started school (full time) and well just been really feeling out of it!I haven't done any planning or shopping really I bought one outfit and a book..but just kinda chillin...I actualy feel a bit quilty because I want to embrace and celebrate but just can't seem to get on the ball..Am I losing it or what?

Some friends say I am experinced so I know what and how and when but ..not so sure..?Just wondering if anyone is in my boat with me..I am sure it will all change soon..I will shopping and planning and being the over planner like I usually am...I hope:)

  • I'm there with you too......#2 is on the way and it's a boy this time, so there's plenty of clothes to stock up on, etc, etc. and I am not into it yet.  I keep saying after my daughter's 1st birthday party next month, so we'll see if I kick it into gear then.  I'm already feeling very prego with this one, so I should probably do it sooner than later before I'm too uncomfortable to shop.  I think it is true what your friends are saying too since it's our 2nd.  We already know what kinds of clothes, sleepers, pacifers, and all the gear we like to us, so we just have to go out and get it!!
  • I'm on baby #2, and I'm just starting to get into the baby stuff.  I was like you up until a couple of weeks ago--just kind of going along as the weeks passed.  Once I found out we're having a boy, I kind of kicked into gear, because we have to decorate a boy nursery now, and we need a few things for a boy.  So that kind of made the difference for me.  Even if we were having another girl, I think I was just kind of holding off until I knew what we were having.  I'd still be shopping for a few new things if we were having another girl!

    So, yeah, I don't think that's too unusual.  Once you already have at least one child, you're kind of involved with that one, and the pregnancy seems to take a bit of a back seat.  I'm sure I'll be doing plenty of nesting when we get closer to due!

  • I think when the time comes you'll probally snap to it and go crazy with getting the stuff like what most familys do going school shopping 2 weeks before school lol.
  • I'm right there with you.  This is baby #2 and we already have everything that we need from DS.  I think that mostly I am just waiting to find out if it's another boy or a girl this time.  I will hopefully find out at the end of Sept at my big ultrasound.  The only thing that I will need are diapers if it's a boy and if it's a girl this time I will need some clothes.  I do have some gender neutral clothes from DS already so I won't need a ton of clothes.  I guess that it not being our first we know what to expect already.

  • This is my first and aside from books and pregnancy related things I haven't bought a single baby item. However, we dont even have a room for the baby yet so I really have nothing to do w/ anything yet! ..Probably once we get going on the nursery I will be more proactive.
  • I wasn't until around a week or so ago. Now I'm very excited. I just needed to get over that hump of feeling very overwhelmed by it all and by all I didn't know.

  • This is baby #1 for us and we haven't done anything. My mother has done all the shopping and bought a bassinet for the baby. Other than that, nothing. We don't have a room cleaned out yet either. I had all summer to do something like this and kept putting it off...and now that school has started back--and my husband is a football coach which means I NEVER see him--we have no time. You would think I would get it into gear, but I'm very fickle and can't make up my mind about anything! I'm hoping the shopping bug will hit soon!

  • I'm just now starting to feel like I'm ready to work on the nursery and start buying things. Of course we have to wait until the 26th when we find out the sex. Maybe not knowing the sex has something to do with it, but I haven't bought anything for the baby other than a baby book. We've been collecting furniture from relatives, but the shopping urge hasn't kicked in yet. I think I also want to wait until my shower to see what I get.

  • this is my first baby and although i'm excited at the fact of having a baby, i'm not at all interested in buying anything.  one of my friend's has already overwhelmed me with giving me stuff.  i had my own mini shower from her during my 1st trimester and she gave me more my 2nd trimester.  she told me she went to BRU the day i registered and that her and her mom were going shopping this past weekend.  um, hello...chill!  i know she is super excited and i'm happy people want to buy the baby things, but you don't need to tell me and you can wait to give it to me at the shower.

    i know i will be excited when my showers are approaching and i will want to buy things, just not at this time.  lol!!  sorry for venting. 

  • I haven't done anything yet and I haven't purchased a single thing. We're waiting until the big U/S to even start looking at things. I figure I'll start registering then. In the interim, I just got the Baby Bargains book, so I've got some research to do!
