TTC#1 - Have you bought anything for a "future" baby?

[FarmersWife5]

I was just reading your comments about keeping something under the bed. I thought ohhh good idea, but I bet one of my dogs would find it haha. Im pretty sure before I told you guys, I haven't bought anything. I totally lied on accident! I did purchase a nursery scentsy warmer, it is the over the moon one! They are being discontinued and I had to have, so I stashed it in the closet of the babys someday room!

Yesterday I purchased a cloth diaper cover that has the cutest owls all over it, I couldn't resist... it was only one!

I've not bought anything for future baby because my OH finds it weird and i'd worry about jinxing it. But I look at baby clothes when i'm out and get all broody

We do have a storybook which we found hilarious about a hippo and a bird, which proceeded with him buying me a teddy hippo for a laugh (plus I thought they were really cute) we'll no doubt pass these on to our children, we'll have to get a bird though too so we can roleplay the story

I have a hold all bag and a little box full of clothes, bibs, toys and little bits an bobs! I go on eBay and have found loads of bargains! Brand new baby next stuff for cheap and I just couldn't resist! When I'm feeling low I take them all out and it makes me feel so positive! Will take a few pics and upload them on here when I get round to it! All gender neutral

I haven't bought but recently trolled sales, moving sales, state slaes and CL to see.... My hubby laughed and I said "well we can always give them away if we can't have one ourselves..." I don't think he'd mind if I did.

Haven't bought anything for future baby (only because DH won't let me!) but weirdly he did let me buy 2 maternity tops that say "who loves you baby" and"baby love" on them. Plan to wear them around to our parents when we get our bfp and see how long it takes them to get the hint!
Not sure why he let me buy those and not baby stuff though......?!

You know I made the same statement to my OH, about giving the things away...but just last night I got to thinking about it and I think I would be really hurt to give the things away I especially couldn't imagine actually seeing someone else's baby in the teddybear outfits I bought So if too much times go by, I think I would have to give to goodwill or something like that.

Thanks for this thread ladies! I thought I was crazy planning for the future.. however long it may take. But buying baby stuff is my weakness!

 

[Flutterbyex]

It's my weakness too! Just ordered 4 buggy books off eBay! Lol :/ xx

Yeah my OH knows nothing about this secret stash! He would send me to a mental home! The truth is... I just cant resist and when I do get pregnant I will have loads of stuff already! Thats my excuse anyway!

Oh I love the "I'm not crying, I'm ordering dinner" I've seen a bib I want that goes something like "these fools put my cape on backwards"

Its so funny isnt it! I have seen loads of funny bibs including the cape ones on ebay!

DH knows I have a bin of stuff...that was hard enough for him to digest...if he sees me photographing it I may be banished from the forum haha

 

[Flutterbyex]
