which baby purchase was most emotional?

BostonGayGal · February 2009

Was there one thing you knew you wanted from before you were even pregnant?

Was there one you thing you just wanted more than anything else?

Were there things you just knew you had to get but didn't care too much about??

cloth diapers...I'm strange.

Most emotional I'd say was the stroller, because I knew what I wanted well before baby was conceived.

I've put alot of time, energy and heart into refinishing an old dresser I bought on Craigslist, I'm really proud of the way it turned out, so I guess that would quality as pretty emotional.

I KNEW when I got pregnant I would get the "lavendar lab" - it's a little yellow lab that's curled up sleeping that you can put near the crib that puts off lavendar that's supposed to help the baby sleep. My BFF bought it for me - so I haven't gotten it yet...but my shower is this weekend.

There really hasn't been anything else I had to have except my furniture. That was a super emotional purchase. I was shaking on the phone when I ordered it. Partly because I spent more on the crib & dresser than I spent on my own bedroom furnniture (or close to it). But I LOVE IT, and now that it's up and awaiting the bedding, I am in love with it all over again!

I know I need to get a diaper bag & high chair among some other boring things...but I will wait until after my shower.

It wasn't a purchase that I made but a gift from my shower that I wasn't expecting. Long story short, I'm close to FIL-he and my DH are so much alike and I really admire him for helping make my DH into the man that he is.

Anyway.....DH had a stuffed toy lamb when he was little that he carried around with him everywhere, he even still has it in storage somewhere. DH's grandmother made me a card with a pic of FIL holding DH (who was holding the lamb) and gave us a replica lamb. It was just so touching and the pic was from when FIL was about our age, holding his son and it was so emotional to think that soon my DH will be holding *our* son and I cried instantly. I couldn't even talk to tell the other guests what the gift was and who it was from/its significance. Once I had another guest explain the gift, everybody else was crying too. I'm such a weenie-I know.

not emotional, but silly. I really had no interest in a full sized swing, i just wanted a little fold up travel one, untill i saw how handy my SIL's was. So as i searched for something more in style with our home, not so bright or babyish, i fell in love with the new Fischer price Zen cradle swing. I feel ridic. wanting a $180 swing just because its so pretty but... its just so pretty:)

I really wanted a Snugli. I love the idea of holding her that close to my chest when I am out and about. I found a really cute grey one with pink trim that I bought on a whim even before we found out we were expecting a girl.

My first baby purchase and also most emotional was the mobile. I was looking at them online and realized that they all play the same music, usually Brahm's Lullaby. Then I saw one on ebay from a discontinued set inspired by John Lennon's sketches. It plays "Imagine." Gets me all choked up thinking about a better world for the baby. These pregnancy hormones make me a big mushy crier.

1) I knew I wanted to use those cute diaper cover bloomer things

2) The bedding - my mom offered to buy it for us.

3) I don't really care so much about the bouncers and high chairs and playards. I just registered for the ones that looked best.
