I'm 34+1 & I have everything. I had all the big things like the crib, stroller, car seat, high chair & swing before my baby shower. Then I had my baby shower & I got a rock&play, play pen, tons of clothes, pacifiers, burp cloths, blankets/receiving blankets, bottles, grooming kit, toys, etc .

I will be 29 weeks on Monday and I started buying things around 24 weeks.  We bought about $50 worth of cloths a week for about 5 weeks.  Now we are going to start buying bottles/boppy/pacifiers/blankets/diaper bag and will plan to have all that bought by the time I am 32 weeks, then we will buy diapers and wipes for 2 weeks that will make me 34 weeks.  At 34 weeks we will buy carseat stroller combo, 35 weeks we will buy our bassenett and bouncer, 36 weeks we will buy bath items (soap, tub, towels, ducky, wash cloths, lotion).  37 weeks we will get the grooming kit, breast pump, and car seat cover.  Then for the next three weeks we are going to just take it easy and buy little things like rattles, teethers, toy keys and things like that.  Do you have a job, or a good amount of money saved up?  The best way my husband and I have found to do it is limit yourself an amount of money for each week (we did $50) because he gets paid weekly.  That way he saves more then we spend and then we need to buy big things he will have more then enough saved for those items.  Make a list for each time you go shopping for baby, ours would look like this: (weeks 28- 1pkg Newborn sleepers, 1pkg receiving blankets, 1 3-6 outfit, 2 pair Newborn pants, 1 heavier blanket).  Also, it depends on how far up in age you want to buy cloths for, we decided not to go any higher right now then 3-6 months.

I'm 17 weeks and have a couple blankies and burping cloths. I have a stroller, high chair, bassinet, baby sling, and diaper bag. I just have these items early because of sales I've been to and found them in good condition for very cheap and people have given me some.

I never have done up a nursery for my kids, they sleep in our room for about the first year anyways.
I am 32 wks and for what I have is some clothes (all 0-3mths and kinda went over board lol) and a crib which is still at my moms. I don't even have a carseat yet.
I have my shower on the 25th so I am waiting till after that to see what all I still need. Also I know it is our 3rd but we are starting from scratch because we got rid of everything after being told we could have anymore and this time the baby is a girl and we have 2 boys.
Don't worry too much.
Good Luck and Congrats :)

For all the ladies freaking out about the room not being decorated its okay. The baby won't care you can finish doing that after they are here. Just make sure they have clothes, a bed, feeding supplies, diapers, and bath stuff (the necessities of life lol). It will all be okay :)

Every time you think you have everything you'll remember or find out about something else so i say go to walmart or online and you can find a check list of everything (s)he'll need. I'd have everything by 36 weeks. ;)

I'm 35w and I've already had a baby shower. I have pretty much everything I THINK I'll need. I have a stroller, car seat, crib, bouncer, walker, bassinet, bottles, bottle warmer, bath tub. The list goes on. I still need to get a breast pump as I plan to breastfeed. The crib is a hand me down so I may get a new mattress and mattress pads. We're painting the room today.

I will be 35 weeks monday, baby measuring ahead. Ive got clothes, i repurposed a dresser for a changing table/dresser combo. I still have everything from my youngest, except a crib. And we will be using a bassinet and then the pack and play instead of buying a crib.
