I started buying 'white' and 'yellow' things mostly bonds wondersuits etc. when I first found out I was expecting. As for the nusery, i am still officially waiting to start her nursery as we moved twice in the past year and was in a rental property when she was born, finally we will be moving into our own home and I will be able to paint the walls pink!!!!
I purchased the main things like cot, pram, car seat around 3 months before her birth.
Good Luck with the decorating!!
Hi everyone, congratulations on your purchuses, sounds like you've been busy!
Fingerscrossed, my hubby was the same with closed in end cots but I managed to find one that was only closed in at one end and he was happy to compromise with that! So we both sort of got what we wanted!:dance:
Queenb1979, Wow you sound like me, I can't help but get excited everytime I walk into a baby store or baby section! Congrats on picking out all your things in 5 hours tho, don't think I could have done that!;)
Babushka Doll, Wow Congratulations on your beautiful baby girl, sounds like you're hanging to paint those pink walls! Hope all goes well and you're in soon!:)

Snoopea...... I couldn't believe I did it either. It's amazing how you change from looking at clothes/shoes for yourself & now it's all about the baby. I love it......everytime I see baby stuff I'm there. I went to Bonds on the weekend and saw the most cutest jump suits. My husband just smiled and said you have plenty of time to shop :ROFL:
wow queenb, I'm jealous - hubby and I have spent countless hours perusing baby stores and so far, all we've bought is a pram!! But it's fun, and I totally agree how you swap from shopping for clothes etc for yourself to shopping for baby. My bub's is gonna be betta dressed than me I'm sure :D
I'm actually struggling with buying a cot tho - I love the sleigh style one in Toys R Us for $700 but hubby's not prepared to spend that much, so we're probably looking around the $300-$500 mark - anyone have any suggestions or recommendations?
Mellys - considering I spent so long at Baby Bunting I did see cots around that price range and if you do see something you like they will give you a discount. I loved the Boori Sleigh and went for a $600 cot instead, however when I took hubby there to show him what I chose and what I wanted he went for the Boori LOLOL poor thing is doing lots of overtime now :doh:
thanks for you help queen - i live in nsw tho, and i checked on baby bunting website and i can't find any details on whether they deliver interstate or not.
the boori sleigh cot is gorgeous - it's just the style I'm after and is similar to the one in Toys R Us which was on special for $700 which was half price and included the change table - think I'll just have to convince hubby that it's worth it - I mean we'll have it for years and it will be a hand me down to all the other children we have....hmm if i can just come up with a few more reasons, i might be on the way to getting my sleigh cot :cryinglaugh:
I thought Baby Bunting was all over the country. What a shame. If the one at Toys R Us is similar then go for it. Just tell hubby that it's your first baby and you want to spoil it :) Also you'll use it again for your other babies right? then sell it on e-bay once you're done :dance: Good luck, let me know how you go
