Stocking Up

Kristi221:

I have one board book (Goodnight Florida Keys) and one t-shirt (it says "My first FSU t-shirt"). But as far as buying a crib, bedding, etc., that would just be too depressing, and a little creepy if you had it set up already.

 I agree That would be going a little overboard!

I guess this would be more of a survey for 1st timers. What do all think about Stocking Up on baby gear before your pregnant? I personally have been stocking up on something?s.. mostly maternity wear, some gender neutral outfits, a diaper bag and a boppy. I know some people think it will Jinx them but I am A Bargain shopper. Has anyone else bought things... if so what have you gotten? See Below at the list of items I have stocked up on so far:

Boppy Pillow: $10

Coach Diaper Bag: $150 (Normally $400)

Baby outfits ( Gender Natural... soo cute) 1.99 on sale at old navy ( They have the best sales)

Maternity Wear (dresses, tanks, shirts and pants) from 1.50 to 7.00 (Combination of Clearance racks on out of season wear at Target and Old Navy)

 

No.  I don't buy things in advance.  I have other things to spend my money on right now, and we're doing a lot of saving.  Plus, I know my family is going to want to treat us to a lot of fun, little things once we finally do get pregnant.

On an unrelated note, I was wondering about your random capitalization.  It's the teacher in me coming out I guess.

My resoning for not buying anything has less to do with jinxing myself and more to do with not wanting to see any of it. It would kill me to see all that baby related stuff for so long and not be pg. Just my opinion.

 This.  But after my m/c, I bought a small stuffed elephant because I was just trying to prove to myself that it really WOULD happen.  But that's all!

I do it when I type. Don't really know why. Bad habit I guess. Haha
