Show off your cute baby purchases/gifts here!

I know it's still early but the FTM excitement runs deep.

WinchesterGirl · August 2016

I broke down and bought some cute sleepers! These are totally gender neutral, so all is fair and war and pregnancy, right?

scifichick09 · August 2016

I wish I could share mine, but I've literally bought everything from yard sales and clearance racks lol. I'll have to snap a pic when I get home. I've filled a whole bassinet with clothes already

WinchesterGirl · August 2016

@scifichick09 take a picture when you get home! Cute baby stuff takes my mind off MS.

Gingersnap · August 2016

I just bought a gorgeous Tehkni wrap. Brand new clearances from $179 to $75!
I'll post a pic later.

Please do! I've never heard of that one before.

Dh is a big geek & bought this, so far its the only thing weve bought as everything else seems to be really geared towards either boys or girls & we dont have our anatomy scan until the 20th. My mum is horrified at the thought of novelty stuff for the baby which just makes it funnier!

Gingersnap · August 2016

This is it. It's got a pearl shimmer to it.

poofwok · August 2016

@Gingersnap that's so pretty! I really love the colors.

LaurenAshley04 · August 2016

@Gingersnap -That's Beautiful!!!!

I purchased a new to me Tula Ring Sling.

Still looking for a wrap and I might sell my standard Tula and get a different one....

I'm all about the baby wearing, especially chasing a toddler!

No clothes until we know the gender (we have a girl already). I also need another car mirror, and some new bottles. Other then that we really have what we need!

I have a lot of cleaning and sorting to do!

jlellis603 · August 2016

So I thought this might be an okay place to post this: I am kind of overwhelmed about what I need to buy and when to buy it! This is my first baby, and we will get a lot of hand-me-downs from my fiancé's siblings, but I'm not sure how much of everything I will need! (i.e bottles, burp cloths etc.) I'm only 11 weeks so I know I have some time but I'm a planner! Any help/guidance is welcome

WinchesterGirl · August 2016

@jlellis603 there was a post a while back that had a TON of great suggestions in it. Try searching "gear"... but definitely hang around here, too!

lfrank12 · August 2016

Found this high chair and playpen in the 50% off clearance at my local Target. I told myself I wouldn't buy any big stuff yet but I cannot resist an amazing deal!

jlellis603 · August 2016

@WinchesterGirl thanks a bunch!

yogadevil · August 2016

My new purty (to me) diaper bag that I ordered:

expandcontract · August 2016

Woof. I have no money to buy anything yet. Husband is still looking for a job and I'm off work this final week to recover from my concussion. We broke right now.

skiingstark · August 2016

I have a the crib and dresser/changing table that I bought off of craigslist. Need to get a pic of it. But it is a nice crate and barrel set

New it is over a 1,000 just for the crib.

LaurenAshley04 · August 2016

Oh and I'm looking at cloth diapers because we are going to spend way to much $$$$ with 2 in diapers!

WinchesterGirl · August 2016

@LaurenAshley04 I have already bought a ridiculous amount of cloth diapers! My stash is pretty varied, as I've been shopping clearance from a lot of stores.

LaurenAshley04 · August 2016

@WinchesterGirl - I'm looking at prefolds and covers. We have super sensitive skin... So natural fibers I think is safest. I can't wear Zorb so I figure they wont be able to either!

Favorite Brands? Any Deals to point me too? I was going to start practicing on my toddler (she's less then 2 so not potty trained) LOL

Xstatic3333 · August 2016

I'm so jealous! I'll probably need to wait until September to start shopping. Just did out the August budget, and the wedding I'm in at the end of the month is slowly bleeding me dry. This bridesmaid stuff is truly intense. So glad I'm a "just a few close girlfriends" type!

WinchesterGirl · August 2016

@LaurenAshley04 I've really liked sweet pea covers for NB size. They seem a lot trimmer than the others, and the prints are cute! Prefolds, I only bought a few but I would kind of troll around a lot of smaller CD stores looking for sales. If you don't mind different brands as long as they are natural fibers, you can find good deals! I think I paid $3 once for an AIO NB because it was on uber clearance.

ETA: spelling!

Tennis11785 · August 2016

Either tonight or this weekend we're going to make a run to Babys R Us or Buy Buy Baby so we can start to take a look at some things we've been looking at online and start to finalize some items on our list.

CarsAndLove · August 2016

@lfrank12 I soooo wanted that play yard to match! I got the same high chair, and the stroller/car seat combo set when I found them half off. Lucky for me, my store also had the wrong signs up that said additional 20% off all clearance (was just supposed to be clothing) so I got such a good deal!

I have bought so much stuff already... I am a complete bargain shopper. I have an assortment of boy and girl clothing, a swing, an awesome monitor, the car seat, stroller, and high chair, a breast pump.... so much stuff already for a FTM but I dont care! My husband said don't people buy some of this for a shower gift? I said I would rather buy the stuff I want when its 50-70% off, and let them buy the stuff I can't find deals on!

grapeskittles4lyfe · August 2016

As a STM I should have everything already.

Should.

Didn't stop me from buying:
a new diaper bag
a new (to me, but used) inline stroller
a bassinet set for our travel crib
a sleep sack

Still on the list:
newborn cloth diapers (only CDd when DD was 6m+)
highchair (gave away our old one)

Aside from the highchair, I don't neeeeeeed any of it.
But....but...shiny! New! Sigh.

rachoochoo2 · August 2016

I haven't bought anything as of yet but I'm going to a consignment sale next week and hoping to score a pack and play. I'm dying to buy babywearing gear but waiting until we know what we're having.

lct2008 · August 2016

I've only bought one little gender neutral outfit because I couldn't resist. I've also received a twin bed and dresser for free that I'm going to paint and put in my oct 14s room so that new baby can have the crib and long dresser for changing pad.

MonaLisaRalphio · August 2016

My home renovation projects are keeping me from shopping, but I did break down and buy a onesie from Target that says "Taco bout how cute I am." Taco is our nickname for our kid. I don't know where it came from, but it stuck very early on. Also, my husband owns this tshirt. He just... really loves tacos. So. I have plans.

lfrank12 · August 2016

@CarsAndLove What a steal with the extra 20% off - now I'm jealous! And jealous you found the matching stroller! I'm a FTM also and I agree with finding as many deals as possible. Hoping over the next few months my Target has another good selection of clearance stuff!

Starfish113 · August 2016

I've been throwing a cloth diaper cover or prefolds into my amazon cart each time I make an order. I plan to build my stash back up slowly

Shawlls · August 2016

AfKash Best of luck on the job search. As a STM, I can say that you really don't NEED much, and nothing wrong with second hand!

Babymakes5! · August 2016

All I have bought so far is a couple books, hypnobirthing and birth without fear. We are picking up a second hand bouncy seat this week, as we were sure we were done after baby #2 and gave away all our baby stuff

Thank you, @Shawlls! I just lost my job this morning. So we definitely will not be buying anything anytime soon.

mrslittlemac · August 2016

I had bought a matching Graco set--carseat, stroller, and pack and play back in December, otherwise it's mostly been small things. Organizers/caddies, a set of burp cloths, a pair of socks that have stuffed bear faces on the toes (because awwwww). Also maternity clothes. I got a size bigger than I normally wear and I'm still a good 15lbs down from the morning sickness, but I love baggy clothes and they are so comfortable. I'm getting quite a few handmedowns from my cousin as well since her boys have outgrown all their infant stuff. I'm kind of trying to keep a minimalist mindset though, mostly because we don't have a lot of financial freedom and want to have a decent amount stashed away for emergencies/house repairs/unforseen circumstances. She'll likely outgrow clothes so fast I'm a bit hesitant to buy many outfits at first.

Patience7150 · August 2016

I finally pulled the trigger and bought baby wrangler jeans! H came with to the 12 week appt and is acting totally different now...had to foster that while I can!

catmommac · August 2016

I bought a onesie from Target. It has an AC/DC logo on it (my favorite band). It was on sale for $6. We had just finished making a registry at Buy Buy Baby and were perusing Target's baby stuff.

LaurenAshley04 · August 2016

Which covers are you snagging on Amazon?
im leaning towards Flips atm.
@Starfish113

Shawlls · August 2016

AfKash I hope your string of bad luck ends soon!

expandcontract · August 2016

@Shawlls thank you so much! The most important thing for me is that my husband, the baby, and I are healthy and safe. Jobs come and go. Shit happens. Yes I'm mad. But my family is the most important thing to me.

Jelly Bean 001 · August 2016

Well being a STM this time, we still have a lot of stuff from my daughter, who's under 2. But we did get a cradle and some gender neutral clothing. I was given a second monitor so I can keep an ear on both at once. And our daughter even picked out a frog lovey for the baby the other day, she picked it up & said baby, so that will be her present to the new baby when its born. we also bought a new diaper bag and boppie.

Sarah1253 · August 2016

My favorite thing I found was this swing in almost new condition at once apon a child. I had borrowed the same swing when my son was born and it saved our lives. He used it for at least 7 months. It was $40. I hate borrowing things. I have too much anxiety about something happening to it.

I bought this zebra stuff animal

Sorry it's huge! I also got a white blanket and a white bunny lovey. I am waiting on clothes because I am a fan of punks and blues. So I have to be patient.
