As soon as my big u/s is done tomorrow- I plan on doing some last minute Christmas shopping for Baby #3... I'm not sure if family plans on giving a gift to Baby #3 or not, but DH and I definitely will buy at least an outfit or two... or three...
Not yet, but I know we are getting at least one on Christmas eve. My sister in law told me that she bought something and thought it would be cute to write all our name possibilities on the tag. Then she told me that it took four tags to get all of them to fit, and it wasn't one name per tag! Oops.
We just found out that LO is a girl, so we picked out our bedding. We'll get that for our shower but my parents are getting the matching mobile as a little present for her! And I think there are a few little things on the way from girlfriends- can't wait to see what they are!
I got some cute baby stuff from one of my Nest buddies in an Elfster exchange, and while not precisely for Christmas, along with MH's birthday present earlier this month, my MIL sent baby her/his first outfit (a onesie and a pair of "sneaker" socks).
I have actually, my cousin Michelle came over and we baked Christmas cookies and she insisted we open our present... It was an "R" wooded initial frame with ribbons and polka dots... A sonagram picture frame holder that says "Love at first sight", a silver "Babies 1st year" picture frame with a big pic in the middle and 12 around the sides for each month of the first year, and some clothes... I almost cried, it was so sweet and too much!
Actually MY aunt wanted to be the first to give the baby a gift. She got us a little sports onesie with the sneaker feet! She actually gave it to us the first week of Dec! (She is REALLY excited) Isn't it amazing to get clothes? Perhaps I'm over-emotional because this is my first, but it really gives you something tangible for your little bump Hope you ll have the BEST Christmas
We had an early christmas at my dads last weekend and Charlie got his first chirstmas present. I was having an emotional week and I cried when I got it. It was really cool that I am having a baby and my baby is getting presents! It made it that much more real!
Baby got his first gift from my secret Santa! Since then our tree is LOADED with gifts for him. I knew he'd be spoiled being the first grandchild on both sides and the first niece or nephew for our siblings, but it's crazy. There must be 20 gifts that came for him, all wrapped, from the grandparents and aunts and uncle.
DH's aunt gave us some receiving blankets and an outfit and another aunt gave us a blanket for LO. I was hoping we would not get anything baby related for Christmas, but DH's aunts are too excited about the baby. I don't think my family will be getting us anything baby related.
SIL gave us a book for LO on behalf of her 3 mth old. So its from Nephew to LO. So cute. Its the first thing for baby, we have so far bought nothing! Opps probably should get furniture ordered.
I haven't gotten anything yet but there are a few things off the registry so I am sure they are for Chirstmas. Plus there are a bunch of things under the tree to the baby from SANTA. I wonder what they could be haha. DH and I both put a few under there for each other to open. I cannot wait to see what he bought. The best thing is that I saw that the breast pump has been purchased. That a big gift and I am glad that we are getting it. We have a small family and do not live close to many friends so our shower will be small, we are going to have to get most things on our own so that will be a great big help.

I've actually gotten//will get way more than I expected. I personally think it's kinda silly (I would never do it myself), but both my mamas are so excited that I can't really blame them. (And it's really thoughtful and sweet of them)
I got a really cute little toy for the baby from my secret santa today so that was exciting It was the first present for baby I've gotten!

I own a new & pre-loved baby clothing store so I've been really holding back on pulling outfits to hold for my LO but as soon as I found out I was having a girl I pulled 3 outfits and brought them home. I'm big into making my own iron-on applique onesies and shirts so I made LO a few onesies. Then I decided to announce the gender on Xmas Eve to my siblings and nieces so I made an iron-on cami to wear under my clothes that says "It's a Girl" and has a stork carrying a pink bundle all on my bump. I know my mom got us a doppler and "I love mommy" & "I love daddy" bibs but I'm not sure what else has been bought. I'm so excited!!!
