When did you start buying things?

Until our Level II, I was totally paranoid about bringing anything baby-related into the house. I was at the mall today and I couldn't resist!

I bought the baby her first dress today - it was 12m in Children's Place, reduced to $6. It's still in the bag, I don't even have baby hangers yet Chat Icon .

I bought her first onesie in March so I was about 4 months. I had just found out it was a girl but since the doctor said he wasn't 100% sure, I waited until after the Level II and THEN I went NUTS Chat Icon

Re: When did you start buying things?

I bought things the day we found out...but it was socks. My logic was that if anything bad happened, I could throw them out and not waste too much $$$. By 12 weeks, I had gone off the deep end...My 30 weeks, I was BORED b/c there wasn't anything else to buy!Chat Icon

Haven't started yet, but my mom gave us a diaper bag already, and my sister has given me her maternity clothes already.
I did buy a rocking chair (for no reason at the time I bought it) --- about a week before I got pregnant....

Re: When did you start buying things?

The day after the level II, once we found out we are having a girl. My MIL and I went nuts. It's slowed down a bit now that we bought a house, but I still go a little crazy ever now and then.

Re: When did you start buying things?

I'm not even pregnant yet...and I've started accumulating things!!! Not so much on purpose, but in college I worked at Babies R Us, and I just couldn't help it...people would return these gorgeous outfits that were worth about $1.50! So I'd snatch them up for my "collection". My collection also includes an entire bedding set. When my sister was PG, I noticed this set and absolutely LOVED IT. While I was working at BRU, they discontinued it...and I picked up the ENTIRE set for about $35. Chat Icon

I know...I'm insane. Chat Icon

I think I'll buy stuff after my level II tomorrow. I didn't want to buy gender neutral stuff.

Re: When did you start buying things?

Chat Icon The day I found out!! I was so excited so I went and bought a cute little outfit and tiny little slippers. I stopped for a while and well, Grandma went crazy....baby has plenty of yellow and white....now she stopped and after Thursday (we hopefully find out what our peanut is) all bets are off. Grandma has threatened she is hitting the stores on her lunch hour on Thursday!!

But DH and I went to toys r us a few weeks ago and bought the baby a cute puppy toy from us!! This is just too fun!!

I don't plan on buying anything (except the bedding which is purchased already) until after my shower...that way I don't go too crazy and just get whatever I need...I unfortunately don't have much room for it.

Re: When did you start buying things?

I have bought a couple of outfits, and a cute diaper bag at TJ MAXX. I was about 25 weeks when I did this. I figure I will wait until AFTER the shower, to see whT I need.
