Have you started shopping for baby?

Hello Ladies!. Have you started your shopping for baby yet? What was the first thing you bought?

As for me, I couldnt help myself. I was feeling blue one day (no reason, just my hormones I guess) so on my break I went to the shopping plaza and bought clothes for my baby.. I dont know the sex yet so there wasnt much I could get but neutral things.a couple outfits, a really warm and fuzzy blanket for on the road in the car and a bunch of Pjs.. I said I would wait but I really couldnt lol.  I find out the sex next month which seems so far away so when I do I will really begin getting prepared for baby. I want to be settled and have everything by 7 mos so I can relax the last 8 weeks of pregnancy and enjoy it stress free. :-)

I am already buying small things. I am 5 weeks pregnant.

Last time I had a baby shower ( I already have 2 children) I got hardly anything so I am slowly going to buy the things I need.

I am just making sure I keep the reciepts just in case anything happens...

Good Luck!!!

I haven't bought anything yet, but I have gotten a few gifts.  I did register at Target.com and Babiesrus.com and I have put practically the entire baby boys' section of target on my registry - lol.  All of the clothes are so cute, I just can't help myself!  I'm going to try not to buy things until after my showers, though, to see what I get first. :-)

lol my mom and i started shopping as soon as we found out i was pregnant. we bought mainly onesies and neutral colored things but yeah. when we found out they were boys...(i was about 19-20 weeks) we went crazy!!! don't buy too much though! wait for the baby shower! we got so much stuff for the baby shower we didn't have to buy to much of anything. just some socks, towels and wash clothes really. i have so many boxes and bags FULL of clothes they've out grown and there are probably a good 10-15 outfits they never wore because of how much clothes they did have.
