I'm a ftm and my husband and I want to start buying things already so we don't have to do it all at once but I'm a little lost. I don't want to buy the bigger items yet but I know there's a lot of little things that are needed. What kind of things are people buying this early on in their pregnancy? I'm 15w and don't know the gender yet either. Thanks ladies!!
Re: What's everyone buying already?
ETA: I had also gotten my glider and matching ottoman... OMg I love that thing!

We probably won't buy furniture until January and we will wait until after the baby showers to assess what else we need.
My mom has however gotten 4 packs of blue green or white nb size onsies and 2 packs of green 0-3 month size. 2 4 packs of bibs and a bunch of swaddling blankets (stretchy organic cotton ones i love) she also told us our chistmas present which is city select stroller with double seat kit and if we can find it used for cheaper she is giving us the cash difference for other things we need.
For the mother that reacted to me being pregnant with twins by looks of disgust like i chose to throw two eggs she is being so wonderful and supportive. She loves kids but my pregnancy with my son was so rough that im sure she had a certain level of fear. 24 hrs later and she started purchasing and plotting with me.

At this point with our first we had already bought and assembled the crib. We didn't buy anything again until the 20w mark or so.
Also, what's some opinions on if a pregnant woman can paint? Is this safe? Obviously I know it should be ventilated. Just wanted to see if others have or plan to paint.
I'm the last in my family to have a baby, and the only one to have a baby in my husband's. We just told our families over the last weekend.
I've been offered anything/everything from my sister who had the baby last, and a cradle from one of my other sisters. Another sister is already starting on a baby blanket.
The husband's family is still processing. They've literally haven't had a child since my husband was one. (His mom was the only one to have children)
We aren't finding out what we're having, so I'm having a hard time figuring out where to start.
I have a feeling baby stuff will be all we get for Christmas! And I think that's all we'll get eachother for Christmas as well!
I'll find out more when I go home for Thanksgiving. I bet we'll go home with a car full!
