Bored - What will be your splurge?

What will you splurge on for this pregnancy?
I would say my biggest splurge (and must have) is a super nice stroller. I am a self proclaimed stroller snob and was eager to test drive and by (we went with the UppaBaby Vista Special Edition - Maya).
My next splurge will be custom bedding - I am still fighting DH on this as he doesn't get it since the baby will just drool, throw up, poop, and everything else on it.

Re: Bored - What will be your splurge?
i agree wtih your DH on that one! i never got custom bedding either! and, i see lots of women say that was their biggest regret splurge.
our kids will share a room, probably for a while, so we are going to spend a little more money on quality bedroom furniture.
other splurges are more for me: monthly massages until the 3rd T, then biweekly, then weekly in the last month. I LOVE my husband for being on board with this expense.
I went into Land of Nod for the first time before Christmas (before I got my BFP) and I have a feeling that I will be splurging a lot there. I fell in love with so much of their furniture and bedding.
I can't wait to start shopping!
Mine will be my furniture for the nursery! I already told my DH NOT to mess with me on what it costs... he is a penny pincher when it comes to anything but his electronics
!!
I will also probably spend a little extra on bedding!
I love that you (we) are here doing these polls.
My splurge might be a rocker/glider with an ottoman.
I'm not doing the custom bedding again. I spent to much money on something Emerson used about two years. She didn't mess it up with puke or poop though.
AND don't fool yourself by saying you'll use it again because, you won't. lol-
I'll splurge on the stroller. I'm also having buy another crib like the one I bought for Emerson which I could almost buy a nice adult bed for what that cost.
Here is the crib:

another crib, a double stroller and a Medella Breast Pump
I'm with you on the stroller. I had to have the best stroller for DS and ended up getting the Bugaboo. While I do love it I use my umbrella stroller more. Now I'm wondering if I need to get a Double Stroller...
I think our biggest splurge will be bedroom furniture for DS. I don't want to buy another crib because we are only planning on having two children. We are hoping to get DS into a toddler bed. If it doesn't work out we may end up getting another crib. If we have another boy we are pretty much all set. If we have a girl, my biggest splurge will be bedding and clothes..
We will splurge on nice furniture that will hopefully last the kid through high school (Going to get a convertible crib).
We are also splurging on a baby moon...a week in st. lucia when i'll be about 25 weeks.
I really hadn't thought about this. I have no idea what we'll buy for this one. It really depends on if it's a boy or girl. Another boy, he'll probably get all hand-me-downs but if it's a girl she'll definately be spoiled with all new stuff. I think I'll reuse my stroller though either way.
I'm liking the idea of frequent massages too!!
I plan to splurge on the crib primarily.
And I love the idea of regular massages! Except, maybe biweekly in the third trimester might be a more realistic goal! ( ;
Probably nothing really. I splurged big time with # 1, so I really do have every thing I could want/need. Maybe the BOB dualie if I decide I want it?
Oh and to the OP, save your $$$ on the bedding. Seriously.
