procrastinating big time..am I the only one? =(

[mommy2Bof3LO]

This is my 3rd child and I feel bad because I have absolutely nothing for him ok maybe like 6 onesies a box of wipes..pack of socks and 2 sleepers from my mom...I had a babyshower with my first son and got tons of hand me downs from my sis since her boy and mine are only 4 months apart..then my 2nd is a girl so they threw me a babyshower being she's the only girl in the family...I obviously didn't save anything from my son being he's 5 already and my sis has a 3yr old so I gave her the hand me downs..I don't want a babyshower for this one bc I don't want ppl to feel sorry or or talk about me...being Christmas and all then my daughters 3rd bday bills and all I can never catch a break...I'll be 30 weeks this Friday I guess I should really get on it... =(

39 weeks your so lucky lay386 lol n I been thinking about getting a used carseat but my hubby doesn't agree he thinks new would be better...so hey if hes paying why not lol and im thinking about going and putting some stuff on layaway at Tj maxx and burlingtons they always have cute decent price items im just worried not getting it in time and dont wanna spend it all in a couple of trips.

You sound like me. My first baby was a boy and I had a baby shower and got hand me downs from my sister in law. My second was a girl too but I didnt get a baby shower so I just waited until tax time and got all her stuff since she was due in april. This is my second boy and my oldest is almost 5 as well. Since he was born my sister in law has had twin boys and her last was a boy but she already gave away most of her stuff or sold it. A friend of mine bought a huge black trash b as. full of clothes on craigslist for 20 so I have enough newborn stuff and luckily my husbands niece is going to give me some boy clothes for 3-6 months and up. I bought a bassinet on craigslist for 20, a jumper on craigslist for 20, and a carseat with two bases on craigslist for 25. I had to clean everything but most of it is like new or at least nice enough with all the parts so it really helped. I still need a lot of stuff to (28 weeks) will be 29 weeks as of friday. I dont know if you normally get a tax refund but if you do then I suggest filing asap in january so you are at the top of the refund list and have some money to put towards baby items. Thrift stores or baby second hand stores usually have some great finds for cheap prices and craigslist of course is helpful.

Ladies, I am 39+ weeks and BARELY finished the nursery last night.  I still don't have everything I need, but I got the basic essentials.  I JUST packed my bag this morning and have yet to install my car seat.. lol, yay for procrastination?

[mommy2Bof3LO]

Thank goodness y'all made my day!!! Lol I felt horrible since I never went thru this with my first 2 LO's but yes as long as we have the essentials and things baby truly needs I'm sure we can get by...what culture are you babygirl09? I'm sure I will get presents afterwards when ppl come visit but basically wipes diapers and clothes..I'm so happy tho that I'm not the only one really lol thanks ladies!!! Congrats and healthy pregnancy to us all!!

I am just getting ready now. I'm 33 weeks. My aunt had high risk twins long time ago. She didn't by a thing till she had them.

[Eevee_moon]

most of the stuff that i have for my baby was given to me at the baby shower.. i have bought less than 7 things for him..

[isaknhenrysmama]

I am on #3 as well. I have my carseat and pack n play from my 14 month old still so I am not too worried. I still need the crib and the room done. Need to repair wall paint and such. I am 31 weeks. So no you are not alone.

[Baby_girl09]

This is my 1st baby/pregancy. I have not bought anything except a baby diaper bag. I'm not worried or anything cuz this baby will have everything when she is born. In my culture, when the baby is born, people come & visit & bring tons of baby items. We don't do baby shower before the baby is born, we do afterwards. I'm excited to meet my first baby. I'm 32 weeks. Don't feel bad.

This is my 4th and 36 weeks on Friday and just got my car seat don't have much... Just with our other kids and Christmas it just slips my mine that she can be here very soon... Ur not the only one lol

[mommy2Bof3LO]

So glad im not the only one, I see people buying stuff even before they find out their gender or once they do right away go out and start buying stuff..I feel bad but I know in time I will hopefully have everything atleast the essentials he needs =) thanks ladies hopefully time,fliea for us I'll miss being pregnant and feeling him move but I'm so ready to meet him =)

[chloegc1023]

Don't feel bad, I'm 31 wks and don't have any of the essentials neither and I'm not getting a baby shower.  Oh well, I don't feel bad, cuz I know that baby will have what he needs by the time he's here.  No biggie.  

[2cherubsntwingirls]

Me too! I am 36 weeks with twins and didn't even have their crib set up....I started gathering stuff about 30-31 weeks.....at least with this pregnancy (my third as well no baby shower) we know what we need and don't have to spend on the stuff we don't need.

[ambs87]

This is my 3rd one as well. I opted out of the baby shower for this one so over the last several months I've been slowly collecting things

[mommy2Bof3LO]

I'm counting down the weeks!! =) I can't wait to meet him even if I don't have anything ready lol atleast your having a babyshower all that really helps =)

[lkaykirk]
