when can i buy baby things?

I'm 21 weeks pregnant, and i'm really wanting to buy baby stuff. I have an urge to.

I know i'm having a Baby Girl, i found out yesterday. An her names settled on. I'm just wondering if it's too soon.. is 21 weeks too early to get a bassinet an such?
OBGYN says Autumn's healthy , no complications.

I started wen I found out which was at 20weeks it felt so good having everything ready and nit waiting around to see if people give you the stuff you need (babyshower) and exchange things i'm a very indecisive person and picky so i'm always changing everything and I had enough time to put things together and decorate

You are safe to buy stuff.  We got a lot of the little stuff and waiting until after our shower at 30 weeks to get the big stuff.  which was good because we got tons of gift cards and didnt have to pay for the crib or the car seat which we are getting this weekend.  But if you are not having a shower I dont see why you cant start.

you can buy any time you feel ready to. I started at 20wks because thats when I knew the gender of my baby, I dont like gender neutral things, most are ugly in my opinion because I dont like the look of the greens and yellows they use.

Yeah you can really start buying as soon as everything is all good. I already have all the big stuff from when my daughter was little so all I have to buy is clothes seeing that I am having a little boy. I'm 25wks 4days. :-)

Wow... I am almost 8 weeks, and once I have had my ultrasound and see that everything is good to go I will be buying my nursery and getting it all set up.  I am such a planner and can't wait.  Once I have my gender scan, I will then start to buy clothes.  I am sure that I will have everything ready for the baby by the time I get to my 3rd trimester! haha!
