Maybe I'm just a weirdo or having a baby won't seem real to me until he's actually here, but I have not purchased one thing specifically for baby aside from a box of used baby books. My mom bought me a crib/bookshelf because she insisted (I think she was worried I would really do the baby in a box thing, which I find no issue with). I'm in the less is more camp, but I also think it still hasn't really hit me we're having a baby. I'm hoping it will feel real when we're back in our house and I start decorating the nursery. Everything that everyone has is so cute! I wish I could get into it more. I think it's just my personality.
@newyearsbaby5 I had the same feelings when I was pregnant with my first. I was pretty disconnected from her and just went through the motions until she was born. Then it took abut two months before I really started to bond with her. It's normal and not weird.

Some super cute baby goodies I picked up on vacation! My husband says boys can't wear uggs but the camp are just too cute and soft. And of course my 2.5 y/o found the activity spiral and it has been removed from the box.
@HJMorgan we love Monsters Inc/University as well. So much that DS decided when we found out it was a boy, that he wanted the nursery decorated in Monsters for baby brother. Where did you get the cute bib and shirt outfit? I'm going to be spending quite a bit of money on Etsy here soon!
@Smiley-1980 I've been resisting but the bug of "oh my God, were really having a second baby boy" has finally hit me! Loving all those adorable Little Brother outfits. I said I wasn't going to dress my kids in matching outfits but I so am! Lol
@newyearsbaby5 another poster took the words out of my mouth but what you're feeling is normal. I was excited when I was pregnant with my first but it never really sunk in to that deep emotional level. I was never emotional about being pregnant until after he was born. Honestly, when he came three weeks early I was scared and very angry because I didn't get my two weeks Christmas vacation that I was desperately looking forward to. I know that sounds very self-centered but that's truly how I felt--the month leading up to his birth was one of the hardest periods of time at my job in terms of stress plus I was in a car accident. It was hard to connect at first and it was several weeks before I felt like, "ok, I really amthis little baby's Mommy and I can do this". Now, I couldn't imagine my life without him and I'm finally getting excited for this little one. I'm 27 weeks in and have yet to buy anything for him, except for beadboard wallpaper for the nursery. Lol If it wasn't for my Mom I wouldn't have even opened the old clothes boxes. She's done almost all of that. She thinks I'm crazy too!

@BrennansMom2012 All clothes I got so far are from Burlington Coat Factory. They had some really cute stuff for really cheap!
I came across this photo this morning as I was scrolling through my phone. Seems like so long ago, I can't believe it!!!!!! When I was about 8/9 weeks pregnant we went on vacation to Austria and Czech Republic. While in Vienna I came across this adorable baby boutique and found this little footed onesie. I had no idea what we were having or if ya know, everything was going to be OK but, I went ahead and went inside. I had to buy it. I can't wait for her to wear it!!!!!!!! It was handmade in Vienna
Going through my daughter's old baby clothes. I put these in the "dont need" pile because I assumed they were capris. They aren't. Baby legs are just small.
DH and I are huge Buffalo Bills fans. Yesterday at the shower, my SIL gifted us his first jersey, customized with his name. It's so tiny! Also 51 was DH's number when he played football in high school. ... it may be our favorite gift.
I love this outfit so much that I bought 8 onesies! My local Restoration Hardware Outlet had a huge sale and I paid $11 for each onesie and $3.99 for the hat!!
Baby gap had a big sale so I picked out this little outfit. Baby's first skinny jeans he he he. FTM here so I'm sure they're wildly impractical and I'll never use them but they were just so cute. Also obsessed with the cardigan with ears (I also got a hat with ears hehe).

I got this at my baby shower yesterday. My best friend is a knitter and I asked her to make Cletus the fetus' going home outfit. I love it so much. It has a hat and booties but she is still working on them.
ID bracelets for the girls (because I'm paranoid we will mix them up!) they are soooo tiny! One of my best friends is an identical twin and her mom painted their toe nails different colors when they were babies to identify them. Every once and a while my friend does admit she's scared she's the other twin.
Resurrecting zombie thread because I went to the store to get Vitamin D drops for the baby and somehow ended up walking out a hormonal teary-eyed mess after finding (and buying!) this:
