  Wow, no. Haven't even thought about it yet. If I get it all done by Thanksgiving I'm feeling good.

  I just realized this a couple of weeks ago!  I am due Nov 9th, so I'm thinking I'm not going to want to do much shopping when I'm either a) 9 months pg or b) with an 8 week old baby!!

  It's either going to be a lot of online shopping this year or I'll have to get it done by October!

  I usually don't start this early, but I happened to be at a Baby Gap Outlet and they had pj's on sale. We always buy our nephews and niece Gap pj's, so I stocked up while they were on clearance!

  Hopefully I'll remember to dig them out in December!!

  Yes, I am going to try to get a lot done this summer.  My sisters both just had baby's so we have 11 nieces/nephews to buy for plus parents, and other relatives, etc.

  I also want to buy as much as I can before the baby comes so I will already be done with that expense!

  I'm due early November, so I'm actually looking forward to breaking out a cool new stroller and walking the mall to get out of the house during my mat leave.  Malls are crazy on the weekends but the first few weeks of Dec if I go during the day it shouldn't be too nuts.  Good way for me to get myself moving.

  I LOVE Christmas and therefore buy presents early... I am ALWAYS done by the end of August.  Which makes enjoying the season better since I don't have to fight all the crowds to shop!

  This Christmas is really important for us.  Last year we were told we would be losing our third baby on Xmas Eve.  It was horrific.

  So this Christmas is our do-over.  I will probably start buying DS gifts soon.  

  Even though he'll be an infant blob, DH and I will thoroughly enjoy "helping" him open all his gifts.   We are so excited, we already bought DS a little santa outfit.

  I will probably be starting this summer.  I have 16 people I have to buy for so I would like to get it done in bits and pieces instead of all at once.

  My mother always starts in June.  I try to start in Sept although i might start early since i will have a newborn in Sept. Usually by Dec i'm just picking up odds and ends and stocking stuffers!!

  I'm one of those crazy people that shops right after christmas and gets all those sales. I always buy my extended family, co-workers, and other small gifts that way. Then DH and I are only buying for our parents and each other and this year our LO.

  My husband and I love to shop on black friday, so we probably won't be doing that this year with a 3-4 week old. ?We'll probably shop early or wait until a week before christmas!

  I started Christmas shopping about a month ago. There are so many good sales on winter clothing right now. I'm about 50% done.

  Not quite on topic but I also have the majority of DS #1 fall/winter wardrobe. All I need for him are a few pairs of pants.
