Third child...what to prepare!

in December 2014 Moms
Any moms having their third baby and feel like you have nothing to prepare. What are some of the things you are buying or getting or planning out?

I feel like I don't have anything to prepare. I have plenty or cloths, toys, and not buying a crib or bouncer or walker. Everything we have from Bottles nursing cover to sippy cups hand mittens or anything.

The one thing I need to do is try getting new pump if insurance is paying for it.

What are you guys prepping for?

    We gave away all our stuff three years ago, because we thought we were done. So, I'm starting over from scratch.

    We're waiting to get the crib until later (in 5-6 months when we'll move him into his own room), and I think we have everything else I want for now. I have a few things on an Amazon registry, but I've also been hitting yard sales and Craigslist for lots of gently used secondhand items.

    And, we do have a lot of the girls' clothes left over, so I'll probably go through them soon and figure out what I feel comfortable recycling for their new baby brother.

    Receiving blankets, diapers, breast pads, nipple cream, pacifiers, post-partum care items for yourself, and maybe a small gift for your other children?

    I am mostly just having to reorganize what I already have. I have been buying a ridiculous amount of swaddle blankets and other "nice to have but don't need" type items. Baby socks seem to disappear at an alarming rate in my house so I am stocking up on those too.

    This is will be our third as well.  However, this one is a boy and the other two are girls.  We received a lot of pink for DD #2, who was born last November - so we have a lot of pink which just wont do!: )   We need a  moses basket, a crib (which we will get a few months down the road), double stroller, diapers, and clothes for our little guy.  Oh yea, and a new car seat.

    Same here, I have developed an Aden and Anais addiction, my H is also slightly addicted, just ordered two Sercurity blankets, going to get a dream blanket and a stroller bLnket this weekend.
    I am still blaming you! Lol
    Check out Cuski and Bambino Land too!!! Cuski are all bamboo and feel like cashmere. Bambino Land are the cotton muslin like A&A but have lots of different patterns (their two layer blankets are the softest!).

    We got rid of almost everything about a year ago when we thought we were done at 2. Still have to get more clothes but other than that we are good.

    I'm only on #2 but in addition to going crazy in girly clothes and diapers we are buying a sound machine, mattress, carrier (SSC and wraps), and then breast feeding supplies for myself. That's about all we need. We are buying a little shelf for our closet for her clothes/diapers too. Also, my MIL is buying us a Mamaroo which will be nice to have.

    We have to get two more car seats for both vehicles.  I think we will get another pack n play because our current one has been used for so many years and is worn.  I also threw out our bottles because I didn't want to store them anymore and figured I would buy more if we had a third.
