What did you buy when pregnant with your second child?

[Mum2Romone]

having all our baby stuff still from DS I'm wondering what people do, or buy in preparation for their second child.

what did you buy or use with your second bub that wasn't available or you simply didn't have for your first?

obviously if the baby is a girl we will buy lots of pink, and Girly colored clothes, and decorate the nursery different... But what else did you do differently 2nd time?

What worked for you?
any thing you can think of.... We will find out the sex in two weeks but until then I'm bored

I had 29mths b/w my first two...both girls. So even though DD#1 was only 20 mths when i fell pregnant, it felt like yonks since i had had a newborn in the house. I bought a new rocker (FP one, battery operated that sings, and vibrates etc). New pram (with a toddler and newborn, i needed a double one). Pink linen, new ornaments for her room. I went nuts on clothes...i remember she had clothes in sz 000 still with the tags on which she never wore...so whilst some things were useful....i prob could have held back on the clothes a bit...esp being my 2nd girl.

My second will be a different season to DD, so even if I have another girl, alot of the cloths won't fit at the right times. So once I know what I have may still need more clothes.

I haven't bought anythign extra yet, but in saying that I haven't organised everything yet and will have to wait to see what I am missing/needing.

I'll be watching this thread though as it might prompt my memory as to what I am actually missing.

I was going to get a double pram because I have no faith that DD will walk beside the pram. I think I will go through all the old clothes and see what else I need. If it's a boy - I will have to buy all new clothes.

I think I will still buy a few new outfits because who can't resist looking a little baby clothes!

Although I'm not pregnant as yet, next time I'll be buying a swing (one of the Fisher Price ones) for the baby as well as a new pram with a capsule.

I bought:

- New mattress for the cot (reduces SIDS risk)
- New mattress protectors
- Boyish sheets
- Cloth nappies, including some cute boyish customs
- Boy clothes

Great thread M2R! I'm kinda baffled as to what I will "NEED" (maybe not go so nuts on baby clothes this time around).

I will definately need a new carseat but instead of another convertible one like I have, I will upgrade DD to one of the toddler ones for 12kg+.

I have awesome condition rockers/playmats/jumparoo/jolly jumper etc so the accessories aren't too much of an issue. I might have to look at selling my Babyjogger city mini and getting a double pram of some description. Or I could just put DD in the pram and bubs in a sling hmmmmm

If I have a boy this round I will definately need new clothes for him. Everything for DD was super girly sans a few onesies and jumpsuits!

Ah yes, knew I forgot something...a sling too

We bought the toddler seat for the pram, a new carseat for Ds so his seat could be turned back around for the baby. We bought a co sleeper cot. And of course new clothes cos she was a girl

I think that's about it!

This time we just need to do carseats again to fit 3 across the back seat. Everything else we still have.

We bought a double pram, a bassinet (we borrowed one last time), some clothes (don't need alot, same sex at the same time of the year) and a carseat(toddler one for ds1). I am also planning on getting a new carrier, some new sheets etc for bassinet and cot and a new going home outfit for cupcake
