I waited until like 30 weeks (with the exception of little things here and there.) Only because we were in the middle of moving and all sorts of stuff. Just didn't have the space, time, or extra money until then.(:

I started as soon as I knew what I was having

I think waiting that long you'll be so overwhelmed by how much everything is going to cost you so instead of spreading $3,000+ over te course of months you'll be hit with a huge dent in just 2 months an in addition you'll have medical bills right after that. I say start now. I'm went shopping a week after we found out because it was Black Friday so I got a monitor, car seat, and a bunch of other stuff for just $300 any other day what I got would have cost more then double what I spent. After that I made a list of what we needed picked stuff out then broke down a shopping schedule by dollar amount for what we would spend ( and what we would buy) each week from 25 weeks to 38 weeks. Took the guess work out and made it so we'd have everything we would need and I knew weeks in advance how much we would be spending.

I find out what I'm having Saturday so after I find out I'm going right to babies r us and getting some stuff 💖

I started at 18 weeks I am now 24 weeks and have all the larger items required ! The little stuff I am going to save for my baby shower and finish up after that :) I am always buying little things here and there and if I find a good deal on something I don't ever pass that up :)
