MelindaSue1030 · April 2012

I haven't bought anything yet... I guess I am a slacker!

Well.. I take that back, DH and I just bought a blanket for my mom and one for my MIL and we are going to give them to them with a picture of a sonogram and my 9 week bump picture as their mother's day present (this is how we are telling our family we are pregnant)

I found a childrens book that compiles a lot of the books that I was read when I was younger that I want to read my baby. I am going to get a dopplar thing this weekend, but people have bought me more stuff than I have bought. My husband and I are waiting until we know the sex before we make other purchases. That's awesome that you're ahead with a lot of this stuff!

LeslieAnn23 · April 2012

Melinda: What a great mother's dy gift! I think I might have to steal your idea!

1 sleeper...and it's purple.....so if this little darling isn't a girl...it's going to my bestie. It was just too cute to pass up..and they only had 1 in size NB!!

I have been buying gender neutral clothing whenever I see it on clearance or at garage sales/consignment shops. My BFF gave me a huge bag of gender neutral baby clothes she found at garage sales, and it's all new or nearly new! She said she had a rule that she wouldn't spend more than 50 cents on anything, and it's amazing how many nice things she found! She even got me a new baby swing that plays music and vibrates. She got it for free at a garage sale, and nothing was wrong with it. My mom got us a bouncer for the baby as well.

We are doing really good as far as baby clothes goes, and I doubt we've collectively spent more than $20.

mlangs · April 2012

When I told my mom she had to but something so she bought a little bitty pair of puppy dog slippers.

I haven't bought anything, but going this weekend for some new, more comfy, stretchable clothes for me!

SummerOH · April 2012

Nothing yet because I haven't even had my first doctor's appt. But I have been looking at different nursery items online and bookmarking stuff I like.

Kie310 · April 2012

BrittanyDoesDerby · April 2012

I bought a diaper bag because my SIL had some sort of purse party, and I really didn't like/want any of the purse designs. The diaper bag is pretty cute, though! My MIL has now given us about 10 onesies, a few t-shirts, and a winter coat/ snow suit.

Apybrown2010 · April 2012

Two baby onesizes. One that says "Future Horde" (my hubby works at Blizzard) and another that says "judge me by my size do you" and has Yoda on the back holding a Disneyland balloon next to a height indicator to get on a ride. Stick out tongue

mrswarman07 · April 2012

We've decided to start picking up diapers and wipes, since we will obviously go through them. I have also picked up a mini blanket. My sister got me a baby on board sign. I don't really like any of the neutral colored clothes so I will wait until we find out the sex.

happilyeverafterxo · April 2012

The day that we heard the heartbeat, we went out and bought four little outfits for our future LO They are adorable!

ni077169 · April 2012

Well, my husband and I were ttc for almost 3 years...In that time, I bought baby things to keep me sane (lol). Anywho, I have a ton of girl clothes.....Which now that I am pregnant, I am like wth were we thinking buying a ton of girl clothes (that being said, I think I am having a girl).

Since we got our BFP I have bought a play pen, bouncer, a couple of bottles and spoons, some bibs and one or two stroller toys. We are waiting to move until we get a majority of the stuff we need, we just don't have the space now.

GHBEA · April 2012

Nothing! I wont for awhile.

acardona1010 · April 2012

I've only bought a body pillow for me. We've looked at strollers and cribs but that's about it. As much as I want to spread it out, I'd rather wait until baby showers or at least till I know the sex. We're putting away any extra money in savings for the baby. We had a garage sale this weekend and did pretty good and all of the money I make with Scentsy goes to the baby fund as well.

tngrl3 · April 2012

Clothes, diaper bag, pacifier pod, diapers, pacifiers, blankets, and a few random items. My goal is to spread my purchases out over the months. I've done lots and lots of looking and online research. I hope to get some things used from a couple of local baby stores. I am holding off on a lot of things until I know what I'm having. I also plan to buy at least 2 big boxes of diapers (in a few different sizes) each month to stock up in advance. I'm on the look out for good sales and have been saving diaper coupons before I even got pregnant!

ClairHJ · April 2012

We have bought a few things when we find them on sale. So far we have...

-Boppy

-Diaper Genie

-Crib

....probablly spent a grand total of $60-70 on all of those!! If you find it, grab it!

sbartschke · April 2012

Nothing for this LO, most of the gear we have from DS will be reused.

Ditto. I've already got one, so most of the big purchases have been made already. My dad did pick up a double jogging stroller at a garage sale for me though

lovepink8 · April 2012

We haven't bought anything yet. We will probably start buying essential baby items after our 1st appointment. I have already looked at cribs, strollers, crib bedding etc & actually started a "baby book" of all the things I like. We are going to hold off on buying clothes because I have a nephew & little sister who just turned 1 in March so maybe after we announce the news, my mom & sister will donate some clothes or other items.

tngrl3 · April 2012

lovepink8 your cookie in the oven ticker is so cute! love it

hope you have a good first appointment!

ForeverEverAfter · April 2012

I have lots of things I've had for a while. But new since the BFP-just a Doppler, it arrives on Tuesday!! The rest we're researching and we'll wait til second tri to buy.

RachelRex00 · April 2012

We're big budgeters and have been TTC for over 9 months (and I've been hoping for a surprise longer!) so I've had a spreadsheet going of all the purchases we will need to make. That way we can get the stuff we need as it goes on sale or we get coupons. Since I LOVE giraffes, all we've bought so far are any clothes that have one on it no matter the color. Oh, and last August we bought a changing table/dresser off craigslist because it was a steal. For now we're holding off until we hear the heartbeat and know everything is going smoothly.

AshleyLecker · April 2012

A pack n play and a few gender nuetral outfits

JordanL1221 · April 2012

A couple gender neutral sleepers, pacifiers, hand rattles and our Eddie Bauer travel system. We couldn't pass it up. Target is having their annual baby sale. We got the travel system we wanted for $60 bucks less by buying this week.

Nothing yet, I'll wait until 2nd tri to buy anything. But most of the gear can be reused from DS. Almost everything other than clothes is gender neutral.
