Having a little girl and can't stop shopping!

tamibattle · May 2014

I'm a FTM having a baby girl and I am officially addicted to shopping for her, there are cute girl things everywhere! DH is going to blow a gasket when he's sees the credit card bill next month! Whoops

I feel the same way. With DS, I waited until my baby shower to buy anything because I wanted to wait to see what I got there (people always give tons of baby clothes at showers) before going out and shopping. I'm glad I don't have to worry about a baby shower this time... there is no way I could wait until the baby shower with a girl. There are just too many cute things out there!

victoria+james · May 2014

We're having a boy and I can't be expected to pass up everything! The good thing is that DH is just as bad as I am. But, we are trying to limit our purchases to clothing 9+ months since everyone loves to buy the newborn - 6 months for showers.

tamibattle · May 2014

All of my gf's with kids keep telling me to wait until the shower. I have absolutely no will power lol
All the dresses, rompers, and shoes out there are just too cute to pass up.
My shopping haul from yesterday lol

The butterflies outfit is cute. I am trying to hold back on buying stuff until the shower. Which might not happen until September.

It looks like you're having a lot of fun.

ariel06 · May 2014

I'm going to be dangerous if I find out this is a girl at our A/S next week.

Dollybaby86 · May 2014

okay...I'm super jealous!! I'm having my second boy and its not nearly as exciting as shopping for a girl!

jennashawn2013 · May 2014

I'm also jealous as I'm having my third boy. The clothes just aren't that cute (except the smallest sizes). But, I would be in serious debt if we had a girl. Lol. Our nursery will be gender neutral and lime green. It sounds like you're having fun with your little girl and she isn't even here yet

Congratulations!

Yeah, guilty. I just spent $140 on Carter's/Oshkosh sale.

Their clothes are so stinking cute. I've cut myself off for now, but I'm hunting for 9+ month stuff when these summer sales hit.

MorganWP · May 2014

My SO's cousin's wife is expecting a baby due in August and she decided not to find out what it was just for this reason. They have a boy already and she said that if she knew this baby is a girl she would probably spend more than she should on all the cute baby girl clothes.

ladybug0088 · May 2014

HAHA This sounds like me! I'm lucky though--my mom is crazier than I am so everything I pick up to purchase she scoops out of my arms and says, "Her grandmother will buy that for her!" LOL I haven't bought anything yet!

tamibattle · May 2014

Ross, Marshalls, and the Macys sales racks are loaded with AMAZING deals. I've been mixing sizes because I know she'll be living in onesies for the first few months. I would probably be the same way if I was having a boy, baby items are so little and cute!

MrsMac613 · May 2014

Those shoes are soooo cute. My DH has been crazier than me with the shopping. Once we found out we were having a girl he got almost everything that said a Daddy's little girl, Daddys princess etc. I am so excited for girls clothes and accessories especially as she gets older.

Emerald27 · May 2014

Try not to forget to buy seasonally appropriate clothes for your babies, ladies!!! It won't be summer when they're 2 months old!

tamibattle · May 2014

Totally agree! Only thing is we live in Southern Cali (LA) and we never have seasons lol

c&bmama0911 · May 2014

Ive bought some stuff here and there, but im so scared she grow a pecker that i cant get myself to go completely crazy! Even with three us techs saying girl..

ill get there.. esp when the sweet fall newborn stuff comes out..

MrMrsandBaby · May 2014

Stay away from Zulily...I may have spent an entire month's salary there over the last year.

bumpuser10309732 · May 2014

Right when we found out I said, lets go shopping!!! I told my dad about his grand daughter and he said OMG! I'm going to be so broke!

imagine7696030614 · May 2014

Aw, you got some really cute outfits. Girls are so much fun to shop for.

tamibattle · May 2014

I downloaded the Zulllily
app yesterday! Saw some really cute things, but haven't purchased "yet"

Hopefully I'll have a cooling off period at some point with this shopping ;;)

Eastie156 · May 2014

I've been pretty good so far. I've only purchased one girl outfit from Carter's and it's probably the one she'll wear home from the hospital.

LightBright515 · May 2014

@TicketTuesday‌ here is my daughters coming home outfit :x

The little feet just make my heart gush!

pushgal84 · May 2014

I've been trying to satisfy the "gotta buy all the cute baby stuff, NOW! " urge by going to resale shops about once a month. Seems to be doing the trick and I've never spent more than $40. I'll also go and add a bunch of stuff to my registries, then delete it later.

The day after we found out it's a boy, I went online and filled a cart full of all the adorableness I could find. Then looked at the outrageous total and promptly closed that tab. It's seriously hard keeping a lid on this until after the shower.

pushgal84 · May 2014

@TicketTuesday There's no seasons where I live, just hot and warm, which makes it even harder

Saragoeswest · May 2014

I have made myself promise to stick to one rule: never pay full price. And I do keep seasons in mind, too. Good call @Emerald27‌

It's so hard! And everything is summer right now.. that's helped me keep a little control.

@tickettuesday- My mother and I have a shopping problem so I love your thread idea.

We've done some serious shopping trips...here's a pic from a couple of weeks ago. This is only a portion of what we bought that weekend. Oops!

tamibattle · May 2014

Love this idea!!

This is us too! We're waiting for all the summer stuff to go on sale and we'll pick up for next year. We were just there yesterday

If I was having a girl, I probably wouldn't be able to stay away from the clothes either.

However, I will say that it's almost impossible to predict what their size will be during different seasons. So, for example, if you want to buy a cute summer outfit for "next summer," you can't just match her age next summer to the size. DS was always AT LEAST one full size larger than he "should" be for his age, so if I'd bought a lot of seasonal clothes in advance, he wouldn't have worn any of them.

LightBright515 · May 2014

@youngin12‌ I spy with my little brown eye a Carter's outfit with a heart, stripes, and burnt orange pants that I also purchased $:\$ ">

I was so mad that they only had it in 12mons. Oh well!
