Everyone kept telling me to wait to get anything for Baby, don't buy clothes, bottles, a crib, etc. "Just wait!" they said. I figured they were telling me to wait because they were going to give me some of their secondhand stuff, or wanted to buy specific items.
Yeah, well, I'm nearing the end of my pregnancy, still have NOTHING, and none of the people who told me to wait are giving me anything. My sister in law told me she was giving me a bassinet, which is awesome, because my SO wants to build the crib. Well guess what??
IT'S NOT A FUCKING BASSINET, IT'S A GODDAMNED SEAT. BABIES CAN'T SLEEP SITTING IN A GODDAMN SEAT.
I'm so irate. I knew better than to listen to them, yet still did anyway. I figured, 'hey. I'm a first time mom. Maybe they're right; maybe a bunch of people will just give me stuff or want to help us out. That's what baby showers are for, right?'
Nope. I didn't even get shit at my baby shower. I'm trying not to stress, I really am, because I know it's bad for Baby Girl, but I'm just so emotionally exhausted and all this shit makes me want to distance myself even more from everyone 😪

I started as soon as I found out the gender. or a lil before like the basics bottles, diapers, blankets
Yeah, just saying "buy stuff on your own" is much easier said than done lol It would have been a lot easier if I had started buying stuff from the beginning. Now we have four paychecks or less to buy everything ourselves. @sheislovelyy
Don't stress over that you still have enough time just buy stuff on your own. Never depend or think people are gonna give you stuff always be prepared cause you never know..
I'm the same way, I know how that can feel! I hope everything works out for you!!
Don't stress.. You still have time. We don't have anything and I'll be 32 weeks this week! Lol my babyshower is Saturday. So we will get whatever else we need after shower
Thank you for the encouragement and positivity, but I've already looked into those things and they're all booked up until January 😔 I know it'll be alright, it's just disappointing. I'm not a very emotional person, but I got my hopes up when all my family said they would help. Then just had my spirit crushed when I found out they weren't. @babyjjsmommy
Yesterday I went out with my boyfriend went to watch a movie, me and him don't live together yet. but point is yesterday when he was dropping me off his like sleep over at my house witch the mom and dad lives. I said no,
his response was why is everyone deciding or making choices for you and their going to do the same with the baby, when I know that's not true. what he thinks is that my mom tells me not to sleep over. So he left all mad. and I felt in my heart that he went on and cheated on me...
I told my friend my mom wants to throw me a baby shower and write on the invite "monetary gifts only" and he told me that people aren't trying to pay for my "gas bill" I'm offended because a lot of money goes into a baby shower, and if you're gonna give me a 10$ blanket from Ross that I probably won't even use it's a waste. I rather use those 10$ for my honest company diaper subscription.
My OBGYN told me to stop breastfeeding because I'm having such a low supply... I don't want to give up!!!!:'(
Exclusively breastfeeding is stressful 😫. I'm so tired all the time but I want to wait to introduce bottles...I need encouragement! This was my goal from the beginning but it's all new to me so I just have to give myself time to adjust right? 😅
True, but just get what you need the important stuff you know like diapers, wipes, & some clothes. @efflyn
