I'm 36 weeks tomorrow with #3 and haven't done much. Don't stress and honestly you don't need half the stuff on those lists at first. Diapers, wipes, clothes, swing, bouncer, blankets, bassinet, burp rags, bottles and diaper bag is just about it. You can get a crib, toys, bedding, as your baby grows.

im 31 weeks and I haven't bought anything for the baby yet. I'm going to buy things for her in 2 weeks I'm the type that likes to start and finish all at once so I know I have everything and I stay organized a lot easier for me. I basically make one big shopping day out of it lol this is my 4th

I actually didn't buy anything until after my baby shower early December and I'm 37 wks now. I know your excited but its good to wait sometimes. If you buy one thing here and there but don't go crazy.plus if you wait til after your baby shower you will see what you need to spend your own money on

Well instead of having a baby shower i asked family and friends for money for the baby instead of christmas gifts. im really picky when it comes to certain baby things so id like to pick out things id like for the baby. Im sure il start getting things eventually. Friends and family will also buy the baby little outfits as presents too so i shouldnt worry alot:)

I didn't buy anything till 8 months. Personally, I waited till after my baby shower. So I didn't end up buying things in doubles. Plus why buy stuff you can get for free? You've got plenty of time. I would recommend stocking up on diapers tho. You'll need a ton of those! Also you want to make sure of the gender. I made my tech show me 3 different times just to be sure! Good Luck!!

Yep I'm 30 weeks this Saturday and haven't bought too much yet either. We're waiting for the shower for a lot of it. I was stressing about it but I'm not so worried anymore.
