If you already have a girl...

and PG with a Boy, what are the things you focus on buying? DD is 3 and I have a crib still, but nothing gender specific. Obviously clothes, but just wondering what else.

Im going to a big childrens sale on Sat morning. We werent planning to find out the sex until Saturday evening with family. But my sale is on Saturday morning. I secretly am trying to convince myself I need to know before everyone else so I can buy for a baby boy. (I FEEL its a boy)...Talk me outta this, I should just be surprised with everyone else and wait till sat night, right?! lol

Well, I don't know about waiting to be surprised, but as I'm now having a boy, and already have a girl (4 years), we're focusing mostly on clothing yes. We still have all the basics and big stuff from DD (crib, bassinet, swing stroller/carseat stuff...) We sorted through all of DD's old clothing for anything neutral, but people liked to buy her a LOT of pink, so there isn't much left over.

So, on the thought that we'd had even before we found out gender, you can focus on neutral clothing: white, blues, greens, yellows... and anything else you wouldn't mind on a boy or girl.

Most of our baby stuff was neutral anyway b/c we were team green with both of our first two. After DS was born, we got clothes, of course, and some "boy" blankets, and a couple "boy" pacis. That was pretty much it, other than gifts--some tractor and truck stuff.

I have five girls.  It's too early to tell of course, but the Chinese gender chart is predicting a boy, lol.

IF this turns out to be a boy I'll be buying all the exact same things I used before - just not so foo-foo.  Car seat, stroller, boppi pillow, etc. I can't see doing anything different. So much stuff is pretty gender neutral anyway.

Other than clothes, I don't think you'll need to buy anything new for a boy. I have a boy and girl already, and there was no difference in what I needed for them for the first year. You just have to be a little more careful when changing baby boy diapers, LOL!
