Hi mommies to be: how many of you have gotten started on buying things for your babies? I'm 5 months…
Hi mommies to be: how many of you have gotten started on buying things for your babies? I'm 5 months along and I haven't bought a single thing :/ I know my family will be throwing a baby shower for me but I still don't want to rely much on that. Besides I want to make sure I buy the stuff I want. I started a list of all the baby things that I'll need (bassinet, crib, car seat, breastfeeding pillow, stroller, etc) and I also looked into how much on average each of those things cost. I added it all up and now I have a much better idea of how much money my husband and I need to save each month in order to be able to afford it all. Good luck to everyone who is doing their baby shopping. My advice is look at as many stores and options as possible so you can get the best deal!

Yeah starting with the small stuff sounds like the best way to go. After all is like the everyday stuff they'll use @babydavis915

Yeah that's my plan and fiance agreed since I may have the baby early. I'm having two baby showers so I never know what I may get. I don't mind second hand things and I know a lit of my coworkers just had babies.@natsmommy,

what i did was throw my baby shower a little early so i knew what i had & didnt have. that way i can get it before the baby got here.

Well lucky you. You'll get ton of stuff. Second hand things are the best, cuz babies outgrow everything and it's so good for your wallet @babydavis915 Good luck with your delivery

I'm 7 months and the only thing we bought is clothes and purchasing a crib this week. the crib is the only thing that's not on our registry list. After the baby shower we plan to get what others didn't that she absolutely needs...cus you never know! someone is bound to get you the big necessities.

@heavensmommy, that's a great idea. And probably less rushed. I can't help but feel like when my baby gets here I'll be short on one thing or the other for not thinking ahead

@allierodriguez, yeah maybe I'll just get what I really like for example the crib and stroller cuz I want them to match and then wait until after the baby shower @allierodriguez

@natsmommy, We kind of sort found out but since my fiance didn't want to know he cover my eyes and had them put it in an envelope...so it's somewhere in our room tucked away until our reception June 27th 😞

I haven't bought anything either. I am also five months . I will wait til the middle of June - ish. Or maybe even beginning July? . Especially with a dog I'd have to go in and clean things and Tidey them up and it's not even occupied! Lol. I can do that for a little bit but not almost 5 or 4 more months! Lol
