Last night we bought our first 'girl' things at Target! We bought a really cute outfit that may end up being her coming home outfit, little pink knit owl booties that I've been eyeing forever, a zebra/unicorn stuffed animal thing (DH was really into buying her first stuffed animal from us [since grandparents already bought some]). But the toddler section is what really kills me so I had to buy this outfit in the 12-mo size because dinosaurs! (And if she's anything like my brothers or myself, she'll be in 12 mo before she hits a year.)
We went to target on Monday and I was loving all the cute boy clothes. I showed my husband and he was all "just buy them babe!" I finally broke down and got some stuff! This is for when they're 3 months old, and it'll still be chilly out And this is for next summer SQUEEEEEEEEELLLLLL!!!!
I bit the bullet and got the infant car seat I wanted. The one I had for DS1&2 was expired so it was necessary. I was debating a few brands based on features and price but ultimately I really wanted the Nuna Pipa. I wasn't thrilled spending that much money but DH was like babe you keep talking about it so you obviously really want it so just buy it. Don't have to tell me twice!
@breezybee Omg I am OBSESSED with all things foxes! SO CUTE. There was a super cute fox outfit yesterday that was so hard to leave at the store. Hahaha.
Now that I know we are having a girl I think I'm screwed next time I go shopping at Target, Costco, etc. I've been seeing such cute things but didn't know.... it's going to be hard to refrain now!
@MJDSquared - my husband is also all about stuffed animals. The other day he called me over to the computer and he had like 10 different animals pulled up that he was debating between.
Crib - he doesn't care. Nursery paint color - it's like pulling teeth. Stuffed animals - now he's got opinions!

The double stroller I wanted was $350, and I found a brand new one on fb market for $125! I'm so excited. Going to pick it up tonight! First purchase we've made besides one small pack of diapers haha
@rainbowdashh Its Just One You Carters brand and I bought it at target on Monday. I'll have to return them though, because we just had our anatomy scan and found out that earlier ultrasounds predicting boys were wrong and we're actually expecting GIRLS. Ya'll, my husband is terrified. It's hilarious. BUT when I got home, I had these cute onesies waiting for me from zulily, and thankfully, they're unisex and super adorable. You're welcome @jlemons-2 ;
I promised myself I wouldn't buy DD2 any new clothes unless it was like, a holiday themed thing or something i really couldn't live without, but I caved today and bought a NB size onesie that says Little Sister and then I cried while putting away DD1's laundry and comparing the sizes. Hah. MIL purchased the second crib, mattress and two toddler rails for the girls' beds when we change them over. My mom bought us the car seat adapter for the City Select/Chicco. I don't think there's really anything else we NEED. Hence why I'm not allowed to go to Target by myself haha.
On Tuesday we bought a crib/changing table set from BRU, and last night I bought a RnP on Amazon. Yay! (Now we reeeeally need to start cleaning out the office...)
Just got a great deal off Craigslist on a very hefty dresser (DH made sure to inform me just how heavy it was) for the nursery that will double as a changing table. I think we're going to refinish and repaint it and add some colorful drawer pulls before maneuvering it off our porch and into the twins' room. This was our first non-clothing item we've purchased, so I'm excited!
So yesterday I posted that it would be hard to resist buying cute girly things.... then I went to Walmart for some groceries... and walked out with this. At least it was only $5 and I mean it's my favorite princess. Hahaha
I scored about 15 onsies, 10 pairs of pants, some socks, headbands, hand cover thingies, couple of receiving blankets and hooded towels, plus another small box of preemie sized clothes for baby girl from Facebook BST for $15. Some of them have slight stains and will likely go to the trash, but overall a great deal for the stuff that looks new!
Went to the mall to pick up my free baby box yesterday.... Walk past Roots and they are having a sale - got 3 hoodies, 1 pair of sweats and 1 super adorable romper for $110! Considering all that stuff could have easily been $200+ I'm pretty pumped. Plus their stuff lasts FOREVER so it will definitely be handed down.
The only things I've bought so far have been clothes and a big box of wipes (to qualify for the Amazon baby box lol). You guys, I'm having SUCH a hard time holding it in on the clothes, and I KNOW better! I never got to shop for baby girl clothes before, so it's all new and so cuuuute! I bought ahead on some of these so hopefully sizes will line up well enough with seasons, but I know we can throw a cardigan or something over the dresses to get more use if need be. I also know these are not practical things and we will have plenty of regular practical sleepers for 90% of the time. Some of my faves so far (last 2 spoilers go together, not sure why separated):
Please don't judge me for the tutu dress! I have always been anti tutu, but I love this with the gray top, and it's not too fluffy. I think it might be adorable with a little button up cardigan. I got it in a bigger size so hopefully she'll be able to actually stand up in it lol
@MrsWifey89 Thanks! It's all from Old Navy. I think the tutu dress is still on sale for like $10. I had a code and got it for about $7 IIRC. They were having some great deals!
@alysapuggles I just looked at ON's website for the first time since finding out and I loved all their little tutu dresses! I think I need the burgundy long-sleeved one!
I found an adorable 1st christmas sleeper on clearance at Kohls. Went for a gift and ended up picking that up too. It's a good thing we are team green or I probably would of bought a ton of stuff for next summer since everything was clearanced out!
My husband today told me he'd prefer that we not buy a bunch of outfits until we see what hand me downs we get. I know its smart, as babies grow out of things so quickly but noooooo. He landed on two outfits for now - incase I see something awesome.
I bought one "outfit" today, to celebrate our great week 20 scan. It's really 3 pieces cause I did the Carters doorbusters, but it counts as 1 outfit.
