What did you buy first?

Glider/rocking chair. It was on sale when I was 10 weeks pg. As I was in hospital for a week, then got a baby that slept through from 5 weeks it hasn't gotten a lot of use yet, as I don't feed her in the nursery during the day...

I keep telling DH we'll need to have a second baby (he's undecided!) to be sure we get our $$ worth out if it. Super comfy chair too!

At 13 weeks we put the following on lay-by (package deal) :
- cot & mattress
- change table
- pram
- car seat

I usually buy clothes and little items like that till further down the track. When i find out what gender baby is i go and buy something gender specific that day . With #7 i bought most of his big stuff after he was born (nappy bag, cot, change table, bouncer, bottle steriliser) as i realised i needed it.

We bought a pram! I think I was only about 6-8 weeks pg. We were looking on gumtree for something else and found a brand new 3-wheeler with a bassinet attachment and it was half the price of what we would have paid in the shops. I was ridiculously scared that I was jinxing myself but...... three weeks later we bought a handcrafted cot.

Both items have been put to good use and didn't jinx us at all!

The first thing I bought was a bunch of cloth nappies

The first thing I brought for DD was a green blanket. I got it when I was only a few weeks pregnant. I had previously had a MC at 6 weeks and one of my biggest regrets was that I had never brought that baby anything (that may sound stupid I know, but it really upset me). Anyway, I wanted to buy something for DD really early but didn't want something too big so I could hide it away if the unthinkable happened again, thus choosing the blanket We still use it in her pram to this day. She loves it

For DS it was Grover (from Sesame Street), although technically we bought a pram toy while we were TTC for luck!

For this baby, I am resisting the clothes shopping urge until we find out babys gender next month. But I've put two boxes of nappies and a breast pump on layby

I can't remember for DS!
For DD I bought a sling... then another...
