    I've already started to buy things: PumpkinPatch and MillaRuby Designs online; Target during sales; at Aldi I buy things pretty much on a fortnighly basis; I've brought my Slider Chair from Baby Kingdom and books from book club. I just need the elusive bfp to start on the big purchases.
    Oh, I've even brought things from Tupperwear for food storage once we get to solids and I've got the freezer cubes for when I'm super organised and make up a big batch of food.
    Most of the clothing I've brought is for a girl :blush: so here's hoping for a girl.

    I put all the big stuff on layby at 14 weeks - after we got the all clear from our 12 week scan I am supersticious but not when it comes to pregnancies. I personally believe in 'The Secret' therefore making happen what you want to happen, if that makes sense.

    I had the nursery completely setup and ready to go by 25 weeks and my bags packed at 35 weeks. I went into spontaneous labour at 38+5 but had a couple of friends admitted to hospital early with PE and they were totally unprepared. I was so glad I was ready for bubs arrival no matter how early or late it was.

    I had a small amount of things before we conceived (wraps toys etc).

    DS1 put all big stuff (cot, pram, change table/tall boy) on lay by as soon as we had 20 week scan (at 16 weeks we picked what we wanted and had quote written down). Then bought clothes and things as time wen on.

    DS2 didnt buy anything till 26 ish weeks and only some neutral clothes.
