November 2016 Moms

Park your mental Pinterest here.

As mentioned in the Random thread, I'm positive there are other freakshows much like myself who couldn't help themselves and bought an item already for the baby(ies)

Post what you've been coveting, stalking or otherwise salivating over since you found out you were KTFU. Pictures encouraged.

  • I haven't bought anything, but is anyone else getting a lot of freebees?  I was laughingly telling my H yesterday we may not need to buy bottles because we keep getting free ones - the doctor's office, Destination Maternity, in the mail- they just keep showing up.  I also have a crib in my dining room....My SIL wanted to get rid of her amazing PB crib and I couldn't let her when I'd be buying one in a couple months....so it's in my house.  Only when hubby and his friend were moving it in they stopped in the dining room... It's driving me nuts.  But it's become a great holder for all the baby freebees.

  • @HomeyDontPlayThat my mom made bonnets like that for my first two! 

    @msu_gal I haven't gotten any freebies! I guess I should start signing up for stuff! I wish someone I knew was getting rid of a PBK crib. I've wanted everything from their store for years!
  • @ShallowSeas Are the flowers you posted ones that you purchase, or instructions for DIY? They're so pretty, I want them all over my house. :D 
  • I already bought a few items, like a teddybear arm pillow (it straps on your arm and serves as pillow for baby while nursing), awesome baby socks, and a picture frame (with one slot for each of first 12 months). And I made a wish list online with baby clothes.

    Coveting: This bed. It looks awesome! https://www.potterybarnkids.com/m/products/blythe-crib/?pkey=bcribs&isx=0.0.1500

  • @Knottie1458416769 What is this teddy bear arm pillow you speak of?  It sounds adorable.  I googled it, and was only able to find this teddy bear "boyfriend pillow", which is confusing and hilarious at the same time.  The fake flowers look itchy...

  • For most stuff I'm all about hand-me-downs until they're old enough to care, but I tend to go overboard with boy/girl coordinating outfits for special occasions. Now I'll have even more to figure out.

    And if this baby is a girl I'm going to need both more big sister and little sister outfits since those have the most options for adorable matchies.
  • Lol it's called a feeding pillow apparently - from a Japanese brand that they sell at local Bloomingdales's, too.

  • Gah I'm in serious need of this kind of enthusiasm. I'm kinda hoping it's another girl so that all I'll have to do is wash DD's nb things and stick them in a dresser in the guest room. I have just no energy or desire to do any baby preparation this pregnancy.

    I didn't even consider matching SIBLING OUTFITS. OH MY GAWD. My budget just doubled.

    OFF TO OSHKOSH I GO. ♥

    In all seriousness though, I am all about hand me downs. Most kid clothes barely get worn before they are outgrown. I was shocked at how fast my son hurdled through Carter's sizing. I was actually kind of pissed off that I kept falling for the 3, 6 then 9 month stuff (6 and 9 month were practically the same, might as well have bought 12 all the way) this time around I've got the full seasonal wardrobe of boy and girl stuff I'm going to buy some new things but mostly haunt consignment stores or buy lots on Craigslist from smoke free homes. It adds up.
  • @ShallowSeas Are the flowers you posted ones that you purchase, or instructions for DIY? They're so pretty, I want them all over my house. :D 
    they're ones to purchase! I found some on Etsy that are really similar.

  • @katemr1146 that play mat is adorable! Did they have a source on pinterest? It looks like it was homemade - something I definitely wouldn't be able to do! :(

  • I want to re-do the closet in the nursery and make it more organized.

    @whitneyf1 I *think* it might be Land Of Nod.

    ...yup! found it here: https://www.landofnod.com/be-on-the-sea-activity-floor-mat/s404563 I love it but we certainly don't NEED it.
  • @lilwonder, all gorgeous. But I must have that gray rabbit hat, where can I buy? Brand?

    I'm sorry to hear that doll, hope you're feeling better! 

    Erm, no. I'm getting ahead of myself. I feel like it's a girl, but we won't know for a few more weeks. I'm really not a jump the gun kind of girl but I've been unable to help myself!

  • Ugggggh I haven't bought a single baby thing yet and this just made me want to go crazy in target. I want baby things.

  • I ordered this last week in toddler size, but I justified it so our ergo would be free for the baby to use, lol. And it comes in baby size too.


    (Tula carrier)

    These are my current favorites (Tea Collection) but there will be plenty more before baby is even born, so I'll do my best to hold off for a while longer.


  • These are all so cute! Im really excited and not generally pessimistic but for some reason I just can't wrap my head around the fact that the pregnancy is real. I haven't had an in-person appointment yet so I'm hoping once I do the reality will hit me. I haven't obsessed over anything in particular yet, but I know I want a good, comfy glider in a neutral color. I'm not very patient so I'm pretty sure as soon as I go looking I'm going to absolutely need it. 
  • @aquasocks
    that is gorgeous, I have a love for all things aviator. My husband is in the business and I got DS this hat off Amazon, taking a risk for a 3 buck hat but we get compliments on it everywhere we go. You have to get it, otherwise I'll get it for you.

  • I am obsessed with the Jellycat stuffed bunnies. We are very superstitious and won't buy anything until it's born, but I keep visiting the bunnies whenever I am at Indigo :-)
  • I love this so so much. 
  • @ficbot what's a jellycat stuffed bunny? 
  • @shevacc thank you! I love it too but didn't realize how much it would be! It might be a splurge :)

    I love jellycat animals! Our daughter has 2. Can't wait to get some for the new baby! I'll let her pick one from her!

    @HomeyDontPlayThat it's made by Oeuf. I bought it during my last pregnancy (over winter), so I'm not sure if they're still available. I do know that Gap had some cute little bunny ear beanie type hats before Easter... Maybe see if they still have them, I'm sure they'd be on sale.
