July 2015 Moms

has anyone bought anything for baby yet?

Just wondering if anyone had given into the temptation and bought the adorable onesie or anything yet? I've been browsing since I found out I was pregnant but haven't brought myself to purchase anything yet (only 8 weeks). Just wondering how far along other moms or moms-to-be gave in and started making the first baby purchases?

  • No.  Too paranoid.  :(

  • The last thing I'm buying this kid is clothes. My MIL and mom will surely take care of that. We have a lot of hand me downs from DS, and my two nieces are the same season as this baby so if it's a girl, I'm sure we'll be overloaded with girl clothes. EVERYONE will get you clothes.

    To answer your question, no. I haven't bought anything yet, as I wanted to focus on DS's last Christmas as an only. I've picked out a few things I'm going to upgrade to, and I'll start comparison shopping for them closer to 20 weeks.

  • Not really. I did ask for a few larger items for XMas (a 3rd camera for our video monitor, another sound machine, a few more sleep sacks since the velcro on our old ones are shot).

    Beyond that, if we end up getting another crib, I'm going to see if we can get one used from a friend, ideally. But, I'll wait on that.

  • I want to SO BAD but I think I'm going to wait until I know what I'm having. Lots of window shopping going on though...
  • I bought a football snowsuit, and a car seat cover. I really have no need to much else, unless this LO is a boy. Then I'll need a fee boy clothes, I suppose.

    Holding off for a bit.

     

    But we are working on doing some re-arranging in our house. We have two bedrooms upstairs and two on the main floor. With only one bathroom on the main floor. So we're thinking we're going to move our bedroom downstairs next to the current guest room/future baby room, and make the two room upstairs the Guest room and Office. So excited!!

  • I haven't purchased anything specifically for the baby. A girlfriend got me a sono frame that says love at first sight with some kids books and another friend got me a frame for the foot print and hand prints. We put a sono pic in an ornament on the Christmas tree. I might start browsing furniture after 12 week ultra screen, but no real purchases or decisions until we find out the sex.
  • We ordered a recliner for the nursery.
    Otherwise no not yet. I was given a secret santa gift at work last night of a cute outfit. (I'm 11weeks tomorrow, but I've been out at work since 5 weeks)

  • I haven't but my MIL didn't want to show me at first but she bought a couple of 0-3 month (boy and girl) disney onesies that are so adorable. She said she didn't want to jinx anything, we have a girl already and she feels like this one is a girl too but she bought some girl and some boy.

  • A Burts Bees baby set (cloths, onesies, blanket, etc.) that I saw on the Today show, it was originally $75 and it was only $25. It was too cute (and on sale) to pass up!

    I bought a few little things to put under the tree for the baby labeled from Santa and from the dog (some nursery decor items and a onesie with a Boston terrier on it). And I bought a couple things for me and DH labeled from the baby (a baby book for me and a book about camping with kids for DH.) DH and I don't usually buy each other Christmas gifts so this will give us something nice to do on Christmas Eve, since the usual dinner my side of the family does isn't happening this year.

    Otherwise, trying to be good and hold off for awhile.

  • Hubs and I happened to be at DisneyLand like the DAY after I found out I was pregnant, so I bought a little Mickey Mouse onesie. Worth it!

  • Waiting to find out the sex. Haven't seen anything gender neutral that I really like yet.
  • I bought a neutral car seat cover and a pair of footed pjs both on clearance. Other then that nothing else till we find out :)
  • My dr assured me there is only a small single digit percentage chance that we wouldn't be bringing home our baby in July at this point so we've been picking up items that are Important to us (I'm a lot crunchier than my friends/family) and things when I see good prices. It makes me feel better to spread out the financials over time so paranoia taking the back seat while optimism drives.
  • We took advantage of Black Friday sales and bought a travel system that was discounted by over $300.

  • I haven't purchased anything, yet. I've been looking for neutral shoes and onesies for our reveal photos, but haven't decided on any yet. My moms best friend/neighbor decided to buy our baby some converse shoes the day we told my mom and MIL. I thought it was a little strange, but a nice gesture.

  • No...I'll wait til the warm weather clothing comes out and we know the sex of the baby. Planning on getting minimal gear anyways. Lol
  • Nothing here yet. My grandmother bought the new baby a teddy bear... But I can't bring myself to do it because my SCH is huge and growing. The risks involved scare the crap out of me, so I'm just waiting... Until this SCH is gone or the baby is born, I'm not sure I'll be able to.

  • We did. :( My husband may have gotten overly excited and bought a set of onesies that are supporting the local NFL team since Weeble will be born right before football season starts. I look at it every day and pray to God that it's not a jinx!

  • Not quite "for baby" but I was at the maternity store buying a gift for a close friend who just had a baby when I saw their dress slacks were BOGO, so I got a couple. I did check the return policy JIC  :-S

    I bought a Christmas stocking a few years ago, and DH picked up this little toddler outfit in India when he was there.  Both long before we were even planning.

    Other than that I'm just grabbing baby/children's books that I loved when I see them.  This kid is going to have one hell of a library, and probably like two pairs of socks.

  • I'm 12 weeks. I have bought unisex clothing, blankets, hats. Payed 2/3 of my travel system and got a steriliser with all the bits on sale. I have the Moses basket, bouncer and other bits from DS. I'm done just need nappies now!
  • I don't believe in jinxing things. I have a couple neutral onesies that were on clearance (one was 50 cents!). We bought a crib on eBay for an absolute steal that we are picking up this weekend. I also asked for a stroller for Christmas. Really I'm just looking out for any amazing deals, otherwise I'll probably wait until after I know the sex to go crazy.
  • My ridiculously giving parents got me my double stroller combo (that had the car seats and bases) and two cribs. We also bought two dressers on Black Friday as no matter what they would've been used. But we're waiting to buy anything further until probably 3rd Tri. Our next project is finishing the nursery. We're putting in a new floor, new drop ceiling and then painting and all that fun stuff. So we don't have room to fill our house with more baby stuff haha :)

  • Nothing big. When I first found out, I tried very hard not to get my hopes up. (Expecting the worst, just in case.)

    But then I found a little puss in boots doll, and I couldn't help myself.

  • Nothing yet.  I've hardly looked, to be honest.  My family and DH's family are definitely going to buy a lot of the essentials.  I also want to know the sex of the baby first.

  • I couldn't help myself. I bought a gender neutral outfit before I even had my first ultrasound  :D
  • Bought one boy & one girl outfit but that's it. We don't need to buy much since we are like the last of our friends to have kids so people just give us stuff. But we did go to babies r us & wanted to buy everything! We also found the carseat we are going to get soon.
  • I bought a vibrating chair thing only because it was on sale on Amazon and I'm a sucker for sales. 

    I will wait until I know what I'm having to buy any more.

  • I don't believe in jinxes or anything like that, so we've already started. I've started sorting through DD's old clothes and researching a new crib because DD beaver-chewed her crib to shit.

  • I bought a tiny soft toy at the Hallmark store when we bought the greeting cards we are using to tell my husband's mother and sister. It's Sully from Monsters Inc, one of my favorite movies.
  • Haven't bought anything yet (12 weeks) but I'm dying to! Once we find out the gender I will probably break down and buy one outfit but let my mom and other family members do the rest :) this is grandbaby #1 for both families so I'm sure he/she is going to be spoiled rotten!
