in order to get free shipping on amazon- i found a baby toy- twice- - but both times after 12 weeks........

last year when i was pregnant i got dh a baby outfit & book for Vday and it was just so sad when we lost it, thats why i waited longer on this one

Re: when did you start buying things for your baby?

don't feel bad! i started shopping right away also..we are not supersticious and having twins we wanted a head start since we need 2 of mostly everything......im due last wk march/first wk april and the boys alreadh have a closet full of clothes...a 5 drawer rubbermaid full of clothes....2 rubbermaids full at my parents....their stroller..bassinets.....crrib bedding...(my parents are VERY generous!) and a ton of books and clothes.....my registry has already started shrinking and we are feeling so lucky..we have very generous friends and my parents are already spoiling their first grandbabies!....

FYI:mommas to be who do shop early...check out www.babysteals.com...they have high priced trendy items for a sale each day its a new item......ive gotten a jujube diaper bag and changing station and a petunia pickle bottom diaper bag for a good price.

Re: when did you start buying things for your baby?

We just started...at 23 weeks. Bought our stroller last week and bought our first onesie this weekend. I think most people wait until 20 weeks, when they find out the sex.

Re: when did you start buying things for your baby?

I can't remember exactly, but i think it was fairly early on...probably around 16-18 weeks or so...definitely before i found out the sex b/c i remember buying neutral stuff. I think I bought waaaaay too much stuff though. She'll probably outgrow most of the stuff before it fits! Oh well, I will just save it for the next baby!

Also remember that if you have a shower, you will get tons of clothes there, plus many people pass down stuff that their own baby outgrew before wearing!

Re: when did you start buying things for your baby?

I waited until my 20 week sono. Then I went crazy!!

Re: when did you start buying things for your baby?

Re: when did you start buying things for your baby?

I"m not really buying anything until after the shower. I'm 18 weeks and we aren't finding out what we are having so that definitely helps. I just know I'll get a lot from the shower and I'd rather fill in the gaps after the shower and when the baby is born.

Re: when did you start buying things for your baby?

Around 20 weeks when we found out the sex. Although I only bought a small amount of clothes on sale that should fit him for the summer next year.

We also bought the bedroom furniture and I bought some things I didn't get for the shower.

I didn't go crazy because that's what the grandparents are for ;).

Re: when did you start buying things for your baby?

I was like 35 weeks
