yep my dd was born in july and stupid me the first outfit i bought for her was a santa thing that the sleeves turned over the hands to stop from scratching ended up using for bed silly me my dd spent the summer in vests i'm only buying vests and baby grows this time round half the clothes i bought still had the tags on as she didn't get to wear them xxxxxxxx

I cant wait to start buying(my mum has started already,bless her) I think I might wait until after my 20 wk scan though to make sure alls well and so I know the sex....... Yeah right !!!!Bring on the Jauary sales!

Hi - I'm gatecrashing, i was a DIJ08 Mummy.  The best thing to do is buy for the little one, the clothes, but what they will be in, in 9-12mths time, Ethan has lovely cotton dungarees now, but too cold to wear them.  I bought these in Mother care and Next sales.  So whenever you buy loads in the sale, work out what season it will be and do that.

Good luck with your pregnancys

I thought I'd remind people as it's easily mistaken. I had my first baby in October, and being pregnant all through the summer and seeing gorgeous romper suits and summer outfits in the shops made me buy them. When I had her, I realised I had loads of summer clothes for a baby born in October! It's so easily done.

So, remember we are buying summer baby clothes!!!! Not many outfits we can buy at the moment then, just the usual babygros and vests etc.

I think I will buy the toiletries, basic vests, babygros, socks, blankets and bedding etc until I have my 20wk scan anyway.

Thanks for the reminder. I had ds in oct so he was always covered from head to toe. I am looking forward to having a summer baby. Sorry for those who are not looking forward to summer pg but I am really hoping for hot summer. Just think at we should have bubs by the time it gets really hot..

Can't wait to start shopping xx

Daniel was due 18th July 2006, bang in the middle of the heatwave we had.

He was TWO weeks late and I was induced.

So I was 9.5mths pregnant in the heatwave from hell when he was born lol. (it wasn't funny then)

Knowing me I'll jinx it for us all and we'll have another heatwave this Summer.  Apoligies in advance if it turns out that way lol!

i have all my wee boys newborn stuff in a vac seal bag in the attic, will get it down after xmas.... but thats a good point... he was born in january, so it was freezing so alot of snowsuits and warm outfits....  this baby is a summer one,   yey an excuse to shop :P

at least we dont have to crry all the way through summer, two of mine were all the way through, one in aug 2000 very very hot lol. and one in 2005 sept another hot one.

my second baby was april and it was lovely we didnt need rain covers and cosy toes, spring is the best time for me lol

love to all x x

That's what I thought but it won't be slap bang in the middle of summer. Hopefully we'll just miss the sweltering months (if we have any warm weather that is!)

i really want to start buying, i have a massive urge just to shop till i drop and i hate any type of shopping lol.

but got to get xmas out the way 1st

Teenytiny, are you saying we're gonna have a nice summer next year hee hee

Point taken though, the fluffy white snuggley romper suits looks so cute I was almost tempted yesterday but said to my friend, suppose I should get it in a bigger size!

Love P xxx

Very good point there! I suppose we're lucky to be having summer babies because we shouldn't have to spend as much as if we were having babies now

Thanks for the heads-up

Yeah i agree on that, my last baby was born in july and all he had was baby grows and vest!! sarah 11wk 2days xx

All the baby clothes in the shops at the moment are gorgeous and fluffy and cuddly, because it's winter at the moment! I keep looking at snowsuits and things in the shops and wanting to buy them.... BUT....

DON'T FORGET OUR BABIES WILL BE SUMMER BABIES AND WEAR NOT MUCH MORE THAN BABYGROS AND VESTS WHEN THEY ARE NEWBORN!!!!!
