when to start getting stuff?

beckiw23

Hi I am Becki. My family is a blending family, this child being my husband first blood child. I do have a 10yr old from getting pregnant at an early age. Needless to say things didnt work out with him. Anywho, my husband and I were wondering when is the best time to start buying things? I am a planner, meaning I want to go ahead and start getting stuff like diapers and a crib and stuff. However, my husband says I am only heading into my 2nd trimester and it is way to early. Can anyone off some advise, because I realy dont want to wait till the last minute to get everything.

Hi and welcome.

The sooner the better. What if you have to go on bedrest? Don't you want to spread out paying for things? Are you having a shower? If so, don't you want to register? Wouldn't you want to do this when you're feeling pretty good, vs late in the pregnancy?

Have fun!
