So I'm just wondering, when is the appropriate time to start buying baby stuff? I can't wait!

I say after you know the gender

I started buying once I found out I was pregnant lol

I started almost immediately. Plain t shirts, diapers, socks... Stuff like that

I want to get basic things as such. do you just store it in a box or such until the nursery or baby's dresser is ready?

There's no appropriate time for that. Anytimeeeee!!! 😁

Start stocking up on diapers while you can afford it every paycheck. Because then you might not have to buy diapers for a year
