Who is Christmas shopping before baby is here?

Hi everyone, my baby is due 4th December and I wanted to see if anyone else is getting all their Christmas shopping done before the big day? I figured it is going to be easier to do now before bump turns into baby!

    I always shop before. DD1 was due Nov 27th (the Monday after Thanksgiving that year) and I went Black Friday shopping for the first time ever that year, knowing I wouldn't be able to get out later. She ended up coming Dec 4 but it was nice to have all the shopping out of the way. Now I go out for Black Friday every single year, usually getting everything I need all in one shot for her b-day and Xmas and don't have to worry about it again. It's so liberating to be done shopping so early. Now I'm due Dec 7 and plan on doing the same thing.

    I want it all done Christmas and my son's bday ASAP. I have bought/ordered most things and just waiting for stuff to come in so I can wrap one weekend. I am even going to buy stuff for my brother's baby shower as they are due in Feb. Then I have no worries of gifts for the first big little girl is home. But then again,  my goal is to finish house cleaning (about half way), nursery (almost done), work stuff ready for my leave (almost done), planning son's bday party (have gifts- but no decor etc.), plan cub scouts (I am cub masters- this I am most behind) by Nov. = mid Nov. at the latest. I am a petite person and was pretty miserable the last month when I was pregnant with my son so want to be able to take it easy and just do normal house cleaning and after school routine the last bit.

    ha! totally me. Granted, I shop way early every year, but this year my goal is to be done by nov, so i only have to wrap gifts in november with my feet up while i sip hot chocolate ;-)

    I'm about 90% done, need another gift for hubby but I feel good about where I'm at.

    I never shop early but I'm due 12/5 and it's likely I will have a c-section so I'm getting started early! So far, I've lucked out and found some great deals. I hope to be finished by mid November.

    I don't know yet if we're doing secret Santa or not. I guess I won't really know for sure until thanksgiving. Is it too early to ask my family? Lol

    I always shop early but this year I'm shopping earlier than usual. I just finished about 70% of my shopping online this weekend. All I have left are some gift cards & a few toys. I want to be able to spend Thanksgiving wknd wrapping gifts. I'm a little bummed I won't get to decorate my tree the way I want to this year. We have really high ceilings & get a very tall tree each year. I'm can't climb the ladder so DH is gonna be my "helper" but I'm sure he's gonna b^tch & complain all the way through it. LOL. Oh well!

    Shopping for 3.5 yr old DD has been finished for awhile, as I hit up a Target clearance sale recently. I have no idea when or what I'll do for everyone else (DH, our parents, SIL/BIL, etc.). They may have to wait until New Year's. Gift cards for all. Yay!
