With our first, we also waited to buy things. We were very fortunate with showers and friends passing on items so we only bought a few clothes items, a co-sleeper and a crib. Also, as much as I like to plan ahead, etc, until recently (our daughter is 3), we have found that trying to buy too far out has resulted in us wasting money. For example, a friend of mine has a very allergic son who couldn't wear most of the cute, graphic t-shirts she had bought and received before his birth. She kept them hoping her second wouldn't have the same sensitivities only to find out she is having a girl for whom she feels most of the items are too masculine!
I bought a couple packs of diapers when they were on sale in different sizes. But I was given 3 plastic bins of clothes, toys and books from my sister. She also just dropped off a crib, a toy box, a bassinett and a whole bunch of other stuff too. I was told take whatever you can because its expensive to have a baby. however I'm still a little excited for a baby shower.
Definitely wait for your baby shower:-). I bought her bed before it and had the carseat but that's all I had before mine. Now I have everything but a few items.
I'm twenty weeks and haven't bought anything lol. I have a crib and pack & play from my last kid, but I got rid of the rest like a dummy
Well I'm 24 weeks with our third but hadn't planned on more so I got rid of EVERYTHING, I won't be having a baby shower but everyone knows I donated everything so they keep buying blankets and clothes. I've bought a crib, changing table, dresser, travel system, playpen/bassinet, and the bedding. I'm waiting until a couple of weeks before delivery to get the rest.
I was told I started 2 early but im only 18 weeks dnt knw the gender yet but have most of the big stuff in nusery
I am 29weeks & couldn't wait till my baby shower. Haha I already bought some cute new born & 3mth clothes :) & yes you can never have too much onezies! I have 2 baby showers coming up so I can't wait to see what every1 gets for my baby :)
The only things I bought was expensive stuff for the nursery I knew I wouldn't get like crib, dresser and bedding.
Buying baby stuff is very expensive. So just think if you don't get half the stuff you need. Will you have money in the last couple weeks of your pregnancy to buy it all.
Im 29 weeks. I already have the nursery all set up.. And her car seat already in the car.. I have my baby shower next month and have just told people of things I need like cute outfits. Bunny rugs, nappies etc.. This is my second pregnancy.. So I also had to buy a new pram as my son will only be 15 months when she is here..
Its good to wait for ur babyshower. just remember. U can never have too many onezies. Or diapers.
