this is my second child, my first i brought alot of mutual clothes, and all the pink clothes i gave to my sister who had her baby 3 weeks ago! .. but still have lots anyway, but i relised i dont need many outfits this time, mainly vest and sleepsuits which dont cost much anyway

i have a mamas and papas ultima pram, which i used for 2 months, so good as new, will use it again, and get a buggy board for it!
and my DD is in her cot bed make into a bed, but i will make it back into a cot, and just buy a toddler bed for my DD she can keep the matress from her bed though, and i will get a new matress for the baby :D
i need a moses basket though!.. i have all bedding and loads of blankets and shawls!
and ive got a changing mat, top and tail bowl, and baby box, all in yellow and green
lucky i got alot of mutual coulours! all i need to buy is clothes really!
dont need bottles or steriliser as breast feeding again ..
this time round i want to get everything myself, and my partner aswell .. last time i was lucky i had my family to help, but they helped to much! and i ended up getting the grant and spending it on baby clothes, and puting most of it into my DD's saving acount :O
i havent brought anything as of yet though, i should be moving so dont want to get anything until i move!

I personally won't be buying anything until the 20 week scan has been done without incident. Just to point out the 20 wk scan is more than a sex scan following the experience with my ds I have become quite superstitous, also just to point out to first timers that generally you will be given so many gifts when lo arrives you really don't need to spend a great deal of money (its fine if you want to) but we were overwhelemed with everyones generositiy.

With ds we decided to buy a cuddly toy after 12 week scan & then a pair of shoes after 20 week scan when we knew pink or blue. We will probably be the same this time although if this ones pink god help my credit card as I will be off to the shops. If it's blue I have been very frugal/sensible & kept most of ds's stuff.

hi all i was just wondering when everyone is thinking of starting to buy things and prepare for their little ones? xx












I'll be getting bubs a soft toy after my 20wk scan, did the same for Daniel.
We didn't find out what Daniel was at our 20wk scan, we wanted the surprise. So we have 0-3mth clothes in white and unisex colours. Daniel hardly got to wear them as he grew so quick so they're still as good as new. So bubs will have these when born.
As for big things, like a new cot, we'll wait til we're a bit closer to our due date.
I've kept everything from when Daniel was a baby, the only thing we need is a steriliser.
