When did you...

start looking at baby stuff (cribs, strollers etc)?

When I see posts about it I realize that I know nothing and I wonder if I should be starting to pre-think about these things, lol.

Great question! I'm clueless too...

DH and I visited BRU a few weeks ago and left thoroughly overwhelmed, we were just browsing at that point. Last weekend we really started to shop and make decisions about things. There is still a lot to do and decide but we plan to just keep chipping away at it little by little.

I bought the baby bargains book right after I was KU. I went through and highlighted a couple options for each of the big ticket items. Then I let a friend use it and haven't gotten it back yet but I'm in no rush.

I do buy small things if they are on sale though. I figure I'll wait to buy anything big till around May and I'm due in July.

I was clueless too but started researching stuff around 17 weeks and registered around 19 weeks. I was so scared to get too excited.

MyShellyBelly · January 2011

I think around 11 weeks or so. I'm a HUGE planner and need to be ready for things way in advance

I am a HUGE planner too. I am kind of hoping to have options picked out so that when we find out the gender we can register soon after. I just worry about finding time for all the research but im sure the ladies further along on here have great suggestions!

Back in 2008 haha. That's what you have me for. Remember? I'm taking you to Buy Buy Baby. When do you want to go look at things??

ginger67 · January 2011

I'm 27 weeks and I just ordered my (in stock) crib yesterday. Just started really looking at stuff this week.

sail123 · January 2011

I looked after the NT scan and started seriously looking/buying after the anatomy scan.

cara-n-steve · January 2011

I don't think I started looking at anything until about 15 weeks. We didn't actually order anything until 22 or 23 weeks and it just got here about a week ago but we still haven't set anything up. I think it makes me nervous so we haven't been rushing with it. The baby bargains book was a HUGE help!

kimarino13 · January 2011

Online? During my first IVF cycle. In store? Shortly after my first u/s, so it felt more "real."

whispergrrl · January 2011

Good question! I love looking at the links that others post about baby stuff on here, but I'm still too nervous to actively look for myself. Maybe after 1st tri...

jennype · January 2011

I have been secretly looking at baby stuff for 2 years.

2HopefulMoms · January 2011

I'm a freak & had my "Stuff to Buy for Baby" spreadsheet typed up before I got my BFP!

mdluv21 · January 2011

I just started looking the last week or two (mostly online)...

Edit: I don't planning on buying anything for a while longer though!!

ALY1981 · January 2011

Before I was even pregnant! But that was online. Went to actual stores around 12 weeks. Went to register with a good friend at 16 weeks.

Ditto! I am planning to go register next weekend or the weekend after. We are flying to Seattle to visit my family in February and some of my family wants to be able to buy things online and have them shipped to us.

Dragonfly1226 · January 2011

Not until after our anatomy scan at 18 weeks.

You have plenty of time

cookie_queen · January 2011

Before I was pregnant! I knew what I wanted in terms of big items if it was a singleton or twins. Gender specific stuff waited until 16 weeks.

Jill070707 · January 2011

I think maybe 18-20 weeks. It took me a while to feel comfortable.

kbeach82 · January 2011

We just made our first purchase last night - crib, mattress, changing table, and dresser. To be honest, I wanted to wait a while longer, but my MIL offered to buy them for us. JCP is having a sale on the set we wanted, and we were also able to get free shipping to the store. We saved about $500. I think we'll still wait a while longer to put everything together once we pick it up, but I'm hoping having this stuff in the house will help get me more comfortable with purchasing things.

njohnson1972 · January 2011

I pretty much could have done my nursery as soon as I got my BFP.

Then m/s struck and I have had no desire to look at anything baby related. I just tried to get through the day so that I could go back to bed. I was in survival mode.

Now I am ready to look at baby stuff again, but my mom is currently in the room that will be the nursery. She should be out in the next couple of months. Until then, everything is on hold.

chelfe22 · January 2011

I have been casually looking for a few weeks. I feel like I need to do some research on them but I don't really know where to start!

nikinikinine · January 2011

once I hit 14 weeks I felt confident enough to start looking at these things!

LnR70707 · January 2011

I looked online around 8 weeks, then I had this SCH and stopped thinking about any of it until 12 weeks, when DH gave me the crib bedding I love for Christmas. We still have not set foot in a store.

2bKEdwards · January 2011

I'm already looking Embarrassed

Sarafuss · January 2011

I've started an online registry at BRU but have only added larger items that I've known I've wanted for a long time (stroller, pack and play, swing). My Dad bought us our crib for Christmas and DH put it together last night. We won't go register in the store until after our anatomy scan.
