Have you bought anything for you or baby yet?

marryingmetal12

I cant stop looking at all the baby items available now! I haven't bought anything yet, anyone bought something already for their baby? I have bought a few maternity basics.

I bought a onesie that said property of mom, but I was going to have my husband unwrap it in front of his parents on his birthday, unfortunately we couldn't wait that long to tell them. I feel like some people may think it is too early, but I figure who cares!

I bought yarn in the "baby" colors I like (pink, turquoise, lime, canary yellow, brown, grey, cream) to start making a baby blanket, does that count? That's pretty much all I have gotten far.  I did find this onesie that says "I just got here and I'm already awesome" and want it so bad! I really want those cute pacifiers with the moustaches if it's a boy, I think they're so silly

I already have a pack n play I bought from a friend last summer for my little nieces and nephews when they come visit...looks like it will be getting even more use! But so far that's all I really have.

I bought a gender neutral "Baby's First Halloween" onesie after our ultrasound showed a heartbeat. Our LO's EDD is 9/26/12, so we'll be able to use it later this year. We're not buying anything else, though, until the 2nd trimester.

I have a michigan onsie that the grandparents bought but other wise I have alot of things left from my first so I can't buy alot of stuff.

I bought a Christmas onesie and sleeper on super clearance at Younkers. Like $6 for both. If something happens, I'll donate or consign them.

 

Eta- I have been looking for a "big brother" shirt for DS but haven't found one yet. I want one for him to wear to tell my parents, so I will buy it when I find one I like.

I bought a tshirt that say's "My Momma Plays Roller Derby" a while ago before we had even started trying to conceive as I didn't want to pass up the opportunity to get it.

We bought a pair of little size 2 Converse high tops, since we'll be wearing ours for our announcement picture when we get around to taking it. I probably won't really start picking things up until April or May, not that we need a ton of junk, and I know there are plenty of hand me downs that family members have laying around (pretty confident that we're the only ones in the baby making game anymore) so in terms of clothes we shouldn't have to spend a fortune. 

It'll be nice to know the sex of the baby since DH and I want to be the ones picking out any sex specific clothes. Also, we plan on hitting up a few of these sales: https://www.jbfsale.com and the ones in our area (within a couple hours) are in April and May. I've heard good things about them! My fingers are crossed for some cloth diaper scores.

I'm trying to wait until 2nd Trimester. So far I have been good.  I am looking for a "I'm a big sister" shirt for DD

I bought a onsie a John Deere onsie a couple weeks ago that was on clearance.

I don't need any of the "big" stuff. All our stuff from DD is gender neutral. I don't think we're going to find out the sex. We didn't with DD. 

We need some stuff for DD vs stuff for the baby (new convertible car seat for DH's truck, twin bed)

Nothing yet.  I still have most of the big things from last time and I will likely hold off until the big u/s to start buying clothes, etc.  I'm also looking for a big sister shirt for DD to announce the news to my parents during an upcoming visit. 

I haven't bought anything for myself yet either.  I still have all of my maternity clothes from last time.  I will probably pick up a few new things when I am a little further along.

My IL's ordered our nursery furniture for us when I was 8 weeks.  We also got our Graco Travel system  and a bouncer from Target on clearance a couple weeks ago.  I have also bought a couple gender neutral sleepers, pacifiers and bottles (all on sale or clearance).

abbyful

I've bought a Medela breast pump, Ju-Ju-Be diaper bag, an Ergo baby carrier. All of which I found great prices on.

I also have bought a few various cloth diapers because we plan on cloth diapering and I wanted to compare some of the types out there.

ParticaEvans

I've totally picked out the baby bedding that I want. For boy or girl lol. We have so much stuff being given to us though that I'm not sure what I'm even going to get to buy. 

Mrs_Mule

I have thought about buying stuff, and I'm not even pregnant yet!! LoL I figure I might as well go ahead and just get started buying little things here and there. That way when the time finally gets here we aren't dishing out lots of money. Not sure if this makes me crazy or proactive?! Haha

EGMphoto

Yup. Well, some new maternity clothes for me, and a pregnancy journal. I haven't bought any baby things as we have basically everything already (unless #2 is a girl, in which case I will shop after she's born and we find out)!

mommabear7182

Just maternity clothes! I couldn't live without them!

qt030603

I bought a Big sister to be shirt for DD and maternity clothes for me. As far as baby goes, I have picked out everything I want. I will wait till we find out if we are team blue or pink before buying anything though.

I've decided to start buying 1-2 things a week in May that way by Oct. we will have everything we need.

Your daughter is super adorable.

We bought a taggies blanket, Because it was the last one in the design I wanted and a lil monkey stuffed animal when we first found out I was pregnant. Nothing else so far, but have a trip planned next weekend to go out of town shopping. We live in a small town so all we have is Fred Meyers here.

I bought a pregnancy journal and two pregnancy books. I normally don't buy things this early, but I want to document this pregnancy, no matter how it turns out. That, and I'm a reader.

liloregonbug

The only thing I've bought so far was this adorable Christmas stocking kit that matches our others. I figure it's a great way to keep busy while I'm on pelvic rest and can't exercise. I can't wait til the 2nd trimester when I will feel comfortable buying baby gear! 

melody921

Not yet, but we do have a lot of the basics (and then some) from DS, so I don't have to rush out. I think what I'll likely need first is maternity clothes because by the time I'm showing it will be getting warmer, and last time I was very pregnant through the winter.

SpruceGrouse

I have been knitting a lot, so I bought yarn.

obeach8

I haven't bought anything. I'm way too superstitious, but that certainly hasn't stopped me from looking! Once we get into the 2nd tri, I'll probably start going nuts!

ali_bl-nov05

Last time I waited until learning the gender, I think I will do the same this time.

VanessaB24

I haven't purchased anything yet but my mom did way before i was even pregnant...way before we were even TTC and its a onies that says "if mom says no ask grandma" I was actually telling my DH the other day that i saw these white long sleeve onies that i wanted to get @ kohls but i didn't want to buy them in front of SD since we haven't told her yet. oh well... another day.

Depending on if it is a or a girl we really don't need much or anything.  The only things we need are a double stroller, a second set of nursery furniture, a second baby monitor, some more CDs, and perhaps a few more bottles because ours are getting pretty cruddy looking.  If it a boy we will need some boy clothes.  I am itching to go shopping but am waiting only because we are going on Vacation next month and I want to save any disposable income for that.  It hasn't stopped me from scouring crib and stroller reviews on-line.  I love to shop.

Gap was having a crazy awesome sale a few weeks ago so I bought a pack of three oneies and a hat. I am trying to limit what I buy because we are planning on moving soon but that deal was too hard to pass up!

rachelw849

I went to a caters outlet a few weeks ago and bought some neatural onesies that cost me like $3 each. big clearance sale ! few maternity jeans for myself . that all so far even tho i want to buy tons of stuff

When I was about 5-6 months along, my husband and I went to Build-a-Bear and made our son a stuffed animal.  We happened to be there when they were selling Fennec foxes (one of our favorite animals!) and the proceeds from the sale went to help the Wildlife Foundation.  It was perfect for us!

discobush

I bought a two-pack of newborn gowns the day I found out I was pregnant.  Nothing else, though.
