Re: What have you bought?

  • I bought a stroller because we got an AMAZING deal on it and it's the exact one I wanted. It was like 70% off... Boooyahhhh!

    I also got tons of clothes and we may have gotten a crib. Thats about it so far.

    A ton of clothes, bassinet, swing, rock and play, some wall decals and paintings, and 1-2 boxes of diapers and wipes. Plus we already have the crib, infant car seat, stroller, changing table, bouncer, activity mat, and bedding from DS1. 

    STMs, are you reusing the bottles but buying new nipples? Buying new? Or just using what you have?

  • I only have some clothes. Like maybe 5 little outfits. But I have all my 2 year old son's newborn clothes packed up that i'll probably unpack soon. Other than that, no big stuff.

  • I haven't bought anything yet because I have so much from my other kids, BUT as soon as I can find out the gender I will definitely pick up some clothes! We also need a new car seat...and then of course various baby carriers. lol
  • Stroller
    Car seat
    Crib
    About 15 outfits
    A pair of baby Jordan's
    Car seat canopy
    White onsies
    4 blankets
    A bath towel the kids picked out
    And a couple lil things like bibs, hand mittens and Oregon duck camo booties

  • We haven't bought anything yet. We're waiting on our tax return/DH's bonus to buy the furniture, and I promised myself I would hold off on buying clothes until we know the sex (11 more days!!).
  • We bought the infant car seat and stroller last week because there was a great sale going on! We got the Britax B-Safe 35 car seat and BOB Motion stroller. We haven't bought anything else but my sister has generously given us her baby stuff (she is done having kids). So we have a crib, glider, dresser/changing table, toys, some clothes, blankets, burp cloths, etc. I went thru it all last week so I know what we don't have and need to buy and/or register for.
  • Our little boy has enough clothes until he is 12 months.
    Crib
    Bedding
    Bathtub
    Bouncer
    Changing table
    Bibs
    Diaper bag
    Diapers
    Wipes
    Bottles
    Receiving blankets

    Everytime I am at Target or something I always find myself in the baby section picking up some more stuff. I tell my DH I am doing good because this way it is not so much at once and it helps me not be stressed.

    @afm27 LOVE the boon grass drying rack and accessories. That is my next purchase.
  • I suck apparently. I've only bought a little carrier and nothing else.
  • I've bought pretty much nothing a nursing cover, 2 sleepers......that's it lol. We are waiting till closer to delivering. I also have a car seat and bassinet that were given to me by a friend. I'm waiting to see what I can get second hand or bought for me my family is very excited for a girl.

  • I've bought nothing.  DS is only 10 months old, we are pretty much set.  My parents bought us a new crib for this baby.  I'm sure I'll buy a few little things before, like a coming home outfit or something but nothing too crazy.  @0ashley, I'm just using the same bottles and nipples.  They are not that old.

  • Does a pregnancy pillow count? We haven't bought anything other than maybe 5 outfits. We received a bunch of hand me downs though! Swing, bouncer, clothes, travel system, jumper, and activity mats. We're waiting until after our shower in May to buy the rest.

  • We got nursery furniture, a car seat and stroller, the beginning of a cloth diaper stash, a bouncer, and some clothes. Holding off on the rest of the stuff on the list for now. The majority of the stuff that we have gotten already was because they happened to be on sale.
  • Couple boxes of diapers that were on sale, a breast feeding "utter" cover (I got for free. And then car seat canopies (bought a Packers one for my husband) also free and a little extra for the the second one). Honestly surprised that's all we have bought so far! Hahah
  • 90% of nursery is bought. I have a stroller, and I'm about to get a mamaroo & highchair.
  • So far I have bought nothing
  • I feel behind! I haven't bought anything.
  • My hubby and I bought furniture on the weekend and I'm glad we went early as we're looking at a 12 week wait to get it from the manufacturer! That should leave us 8 weeks to put it together and finish the nursery. We also bought a pram, car capsule, baby bath and stand and a monitor. We have decided not to buy anything else until after the shower - as it's our first we've been warned that people will buy us loads of wipes, lotions, toys, clothing and linen. Anything we aren't gifted we can buy at a later date.
    I'm finding it hard not to buy clothes though....

    Love that you're using cloth diapers! I am too and have had so many people tell me it will be too hard. I'm so glad others are taking the "hard road" with me.
  • I'm still using cloth diapers with my 18 month old and haven't found it hard at all!
  • I've bought nothing and now I'm nervous seeing everything others have bought.

    I want to try cloth diapers, but I'm having a hard time getting my husband on board...
  • I am a FTM and have bought like 4 outfits, a breastfeeding pillow, and a swaddle blanket. That's it
  • I haven't bought a damn thing yet.

    I know my friends are going to give me a whole bunch of stuff, so I'm not really sure what I'll need. And another one of my friends wants to throw me a baby shower so there's also that.

    The idea of what to buy early is a bit overwhelming to me to think about.
  • Does paint for the nursery count??  And some Jets onesies  (they were on clearance a while back at Target).

    We registered and have been told by my mom and MIL to not buy anything yet.  It's hard not to go crazy and start shopping.

    If any of our big items are on sale for a good price I think we'll just go and pick them up.
  • I've bought everything but a Moses basket, a chest of drawers, and storage. This is our first so we have been extremely lucky to have family who have bought/given us a lot. I could open a clothes shop with what my baby boy has haha!
  • A travel set (car seat/stroller), a few cloth diapers (they're so costly up front so we just buy a couple each paycheck), and a humidifier (I actually needed this for my sinuses haha just used baby as an excuse to actually buy it, got a cute owl one)
  • We've gotten the crib, changer table, dresser and glider w/ ottoman. We've also bought a few onesies, sleepers, socks, and bath towels. My shower is very early as I'll only be a little over 6 months so we're waiting to see what we'll get then and purchase the rest later. We'll probably continue to buy a little all along though. Just found out on Monday that we're having a little girl.
  • Baby blanket, crib, stroller, carseat, and clothes with matching head bands
  • Cribs, mattresses and dressers
    Converse crib shoes - x2 (that how we announced the twins)
    A couple cute bibs I couldn't resist
    A sleeper for each baby and a set of 4 neutral onesies (DH doesn't want a ton of neutral clothing so until we know what we are having, he won't let me get any more clothing)
    Diaper bag
    Started a stash of diapers and wipes
    Some bottles
    One blanket and one towel that DH couldn't resist
    And a boppy

    We already had a glider and ottoman from DD and we have been given a bouncer seat, a baby food maker, a Bumbo with tray and some brand new Dr. Brown bottles. We have also been told by my SIL to expect her barely used swing and another bouncer seat.
  • Ok now I am 100% sure I'm an unprepared mom! Haha just ordered crib and dressers. Shower is at the end of this month so I want to wait and see how things look after that. Maybe I should be better prepared at this point ah?
  • We're having our second boy in 2 years so we don't need much, but the urge to buy is there lol. I've bought a double stroller, a little brother sleeper and a chicco key fit infant seat. We had a babytrend travel system but I hated it so I sold it. Oh and we bought a twin size bed for our almost 2 yr old :( sad mama
  • I have a crib that a friend gave to me and today I just bought my baby it's very first outfit from it's momma. However I do have 4 packs of diapers, two packs of wipes (obtained from a clinic for single/low income mothers), a ton of brand new clothes (that my aunt bought), a music box (that my aunt bought), and two binkies that I purchased. So not very much, I'm waiting til after my baby shower and then I'm gonna use my left over school grant money to buy all the important stuff that I need. I'm trying not to splurge on baby clothes but that'll be doomed as soon as I find out the gender.

  • Same here. I've bought almost nothing. Just a few outfits and Dr. Seuss books. The important stuff ;)

    Car seat for DH car
    1 pair of shoes
    Humidifier
    Planning on buying a strolled system for my car tomorrow and a crib.
