What stage will you start buying?! - Page 3

corgankidd · Apr 11th, 2012, 12:16 PM

I have already bought a changing pad, outfits, bottle warmer, babybjorn carrier, bumbo chair, my breast friend (pillow), bouncy chair, blankets, a couple nursery decorations, baby books, bibs, etc.
I started buying when I was TTC and it went out of control once I got my BFP.
I figure that no matter what I am going to have a baby and so if this one were not to stick that would not be the end of it, I would keep trying. But to be honest, I never really thought that this one wouldn't stick, I don't know why - guess I looked at the positive side of the statistics rather than the very small negative side.
I think it is very smart to buy early so you have longer to spread out the cost, but thats just my opinion.

With my son we bought a crib two weeks after we found out which wouldve made me about five weeks. This time i have things on my wish list on amazon and we prob wont get the bassinet and crib until much futher along. The children will be sharing a room so im not sure how to fit them both in there. Maybe i stack them on top of eachother

I am starting next week!!

I am not going to be superstitious...if our lil peanut is going to stick then it's going to stick...buying stuff will not change that

Good luck to you x

Waiting till 16 weeks when I find out the gender because I want the first thing I buy to be either pink or blue

I've bought nothing yet!

I'm going to start buying after my first scan. We still live with our parents, so are having to move out and start from scratch, as well as prepare for baby. Sooooo, we need as much time as possible!

I think everyone's different and just do what you feel comfortable with

I've bought a picture for wee bean's room, although to be honest, I might've bought it anyway as its a gorgeous limited edition print of hot air balloons in nice pastelly colours. Noting else yet though. Thinking of new bra & belly band but don't quite need them yet. I think after my 12 week scan I'll be checking out prams, & I've already got a few things on my John Lewis wish list :-)

I will be 10 weeks tomorrow and so far I have been patient as far as buying things. I have another scan in just under two weeks, so maybe after that it will be easier. We had a miscarriage last summer & with all the summer sales we had already bought a few things - clothes, a swing, etc. After that it was really hard to see all the stuff we had sitting around the house & we put it all in storage. I know there is no way we "jinxed" things, but I don't want that to happen again. I will feel a lot more comfortable in two weeks!!
