My aunt is coming to my 1st baby shower this sunday but sent me this baby monitor at a pretty hefty price tag!!!! She ordered it late at night and forgot to gift wrap during check out so she let me open it early :-)......now to just get a crib lol
Love my angelcare! Mine is just the standard model. This one is super impressive
@kaylawing You are not alone! Our nursery is still half our junk room and any baby stuff is just strewn about, no crib, no dresser/changing table, nothing on the walls. We also didn't name DD until she was a couple days old and won't name this one til we meet him/her either. It will all work out.

Just scored a brand new black City Mini double GT stroller at Bed Bath and Beyond on clearance (online return) for $350 + I had 20% coupon + $160 in BBB gift cards soooooo my grand total was $140! Originally $580. I'm literally on a good deal high. So pumped. This was the only big purchase I planned to make so I'm thrilled to have that finished.
@dkizz82 i know!!!! I was so shocked. I had just a regular wifi monitor but she knows im a bit paranoid since we our lost our son imma be a hound dog with my baby girl so she knows till ease my nerves somewhat. I got the packing slip since she forgot to gift wrap at check out i about cried at the $250 tag lol. I have not seen this aunt or grammy in 16 years and she buys me this and is coming to my shower this sunday!!! I had ugly tears for awhile lol.
We just got the second seat kit for our City Select on Amazon, on sale. $85 instead of $169. Since we are having another girl, there's not much to purchase. We are keeping an eye on clothes though since DD1 was a summer baby
So DH's cousin gave us their K'tan, they have an extra mamaroo that they never opened and for some reason never returned and they're giving it to us (I think DH's mom bought it for them so if they specifically saved it for when we had a baby that makes sense), and I just found out last night that we're also getting a pack 'n play from that cousin. And another family friend is gifting us her Ergo. I've been super worried about how much stuff on our registry we'll still have to buy but being able to take off some of the bigger ticket items makes me feel so much better!
@elvenchick92686 I am so very sorry for your loss. This will ease your mind so much! But be prepared as she gets older and rolls off the pad, you will get some false alarms. We had the snuza too but never used it. I want to buy an owlet.
splsmama2016 I did notice that when doing my research (I have the keyfit 30), but by the time the weather warms up here it'll be late spring so baby will be plenty big for the seat. The seats in the city mini also lay completely flat so they can technically sit directly in the stroller from birth, but I baby wear when they're that little anyway. They're in their infant seats for such a small amount of time I couldn't let that be the decision maker when the other stroller I was looking at (BOB) retails for $600+.
I just bought a Sakura Bloom sage wrap from a fellow s13 BMB member. I'm excited to do some baby wearing with this one! I also got a new car seat to replace the one DH accidentally threw away - we stuck with the graco click connect 35 and got a great deal with the BRU 25% off coupon with my 15% registry completion coupon on top of it. I think other than diapers and a new breast pump, we are all set! oh wair, just kidding. I have to get him his outfit for his newborn pics and a baby's first Christmas outfit and then we will officially be done!

We also got the Greco click connect with the 25% off. I didn’t have my registry coupon yet. Anyway, the car seat works with our double stroller we just got!
I just scored a bassinet (the exact one I had on my registry) on a local Facebook yardsale site, brand new for half the listed price. The price of bassinets has been so daunting for me, especially considering baby could hate it/quickly outgrow it/have acid reflux and not even use it, so I'm super psyched to have gotten a good deal on this one.
Also my Chicco travel system arrived in the mail on Thursday, so that's two huge list items taken care of, in addition to the crib/changing table. Eeeee, this is getting exciting!!!
So I already had my first shower (pictures above somewhere) and even complained to my MIL that all we had was clothes for her.... and she just sent this massive box of over 20 more outfits. A few of the outfits were over $50!!! Saying she couldn’t help herself. Omg we’re drowning in clothes. Hahaha
We had an amazing shower yesterday and got a good mix of practical things and clothes for presents but this is my favorite part -- kiddo's library is almost 30 books, in 2 languages, with no repeats. Some are books I've picked up on work trips and vacations, but the rest are from family and friends. My mom found and handed down my childhood copy of "Alexander and the terrible horrible no good very bad day" since we're pretty sure LO's name will be Alexander. It is very well loved.
