I got a bassinet today, and my husbands aunt got us a crib several weeks ago, she is VERY excited! LOL those are our big purchases this time around.
I buy second hand though and buy stuff as I find it and if its a good deal. It's also my second baby and we don't need a whole lot. The new crib is wonderful, and I sold our last bassinet. Other than clothes if baby is a boy, we don't need a whole lot I kept most of my stuff from my daughter.
I would definitely start now and look for sales in stores and online. ❤️
I got the stroller and car seat at about 26 weeks and we got the bassinet at about 28 weeks, but we're just borrowing it from my aunt. We're buying her crib as well, but I'm not sure when we'll be getting it..
