Crap! I need to stop reading other people's posts because now I'm realizing I want to splurge on a lot of stuff. I totally forgot about maternity jeans and a breast pump.
A better question would be what aren't we splurging on. Probably the most expensive purchase has been & will be our nursery furniture. Got it all at Room&Board.
Hubs isn't totally sold on either of these yet - but the two I want to splurge on are the Medela Pump In Style Breast Pump and the BOB Revolution Jogging Stroller.
My Mia Bossi diaper bag... the price made me sick, but I had to have something stylish - a diaper bag isn't much different from a handbag (other than that it has baby's stuff in it) - and I can't see myself carrying a pastel pink or baby blue bag with animals on it.
Definitely the glider! I can't wait for it to arrive...although I may never get back out of it once it comes .
DH and I both have siblings with kids, so we're getting lots of other hand-me-downs, and I'm going to wait to splurge on a diaper bag until I figure out exactly what features I want (I just bought a basic one for now).
Re: What Item are you Splurging on?
3 things
1. diaper bag...no cute litte characters for me
2. crib bedding
3. stroller
I'm getting a crib from my sister so I figure I can justify the other stuff.
cloth diapers
breast pump
3 Things:
Maternity Jeans
Diaper Bag
Stroller (we got the teutonia)
There are probably 3 things we will be splurging on.
Crib, travel system, breast pump.
Just the pump.
convertible crib/dresser w. hutch- pieces of furniture she will have until she moves out. only need to buy a new mattress when you convert to full bed
breast pump- would have given up on bf without it or never left my house and been miserable
So far, just the diaper bag. I also think we'll go higher end on the stroller (its at the top of the priority list).
After reading this list, maybe the glider, too.

Maternity jeans
Possibly the diaper bag
Breast pump
Glider
Cloth Diapers. CD the way I want to do it have an expensive upfront cost, but will save us almost $1,500 while the kiddo is in diapers
