Intro and a Fun Question
SwtHrt88

Hi all,
It seems that a quick introduction is standard here, so I figured I'd start with that. My husband and I just found out that I'm pregnant with our first! EDD is January 23rd, so I'm 5W6D today. We've told a few very close friends and are planning to announce to immediate family on Father's Day. So excited! My theory on announcing is that I don't mind telling people, I just want to keep it limited to a running list of people I can actually keep track of until we're out of the first trimester. That way, if something does happen, we know who to update. That having been said...keeping this secret is so hard! It's nice to have a forum like this where I can read about and talk about all of these pregnancy-related things
Now, on to the fun question: What have all of you purchased for Baby so far? Since I'm still so early, I'm really trying to resist the urge to buy things just yet...but figure I can live vicariously through some of you!
I'm happy to be joining you all here...congrats and best wishes to all!

This is the 3rd so we don't NEED ANYTHING lol. We have way more stuff then we would ever need. I did buy big brother shirts someone was selling in a lot on facebook 6 shirts for $10 and I knew the girl I jumped on them at like 6 weeks. Then hid them because I know I should wait.

jan'15 january siggy challenge: baby fails
No purchase for the baby yet, since we have DDs stuff. I grabbed new pair of maternity jeans fr ild navy though since i havent had the time to rummage thru my prego clothes fr DD and the denim wash looked cool to me. Have fun!
I have not purchased anything yet and I most likely will not purchase anything before babe arrives. I have a habit of going shopping on the way home from the hospital. After being cooped up in the hospital I need to get my Target fix in! The only thing we should need is diapers, but the hospital will send me home with a small package and I do have cloth diapers that I can use, I just don't use them unless needed on my newborn.
@hollywooeb - I so won't be able to wait until we find out gender, but I agree, avoiding those sections seems like the safest bet. I ventured into the Target baby section the other day and curbed my urge to splurge by buying my niece a little dress instead.
@nursesouder - You can't pass up a $50 changing table. Per the advice of one of the other ladies here, I did JUST buy a few winter maternity sweaters on super-sale.
@missiemae - Shopping on the way home from the hospital sounds both fun and terrifying to me. Perk? I bet I'd spend less because I'd focus more on necessities!
@SassyMommaC - I completely agree with your comment about the gender-specific stuff. Don't get me wrong, I like pink and think it can be adorable - but I can't stand the overwhelming amount of pink of blue stuff (particularly at showers when people know the gender). Planning to keep it to ourselves until after any theoretical gift-giving for that very reason!
Thanks again everyone for all of the fun responses! Fingers crossed to me maintaining this level of self-control for at least another month or so!
Welcome and congrats.
I bought two prints for the baby's room since husband and I are hikers/rock climbers I thought these would be perfect. And I did some window shopping and found bedding that would match the coloring in both. It's pretty gender neutral so I love it!
