I got new car seats, for safety reasons. You never know if someone is being truthful about whether they have had an accident with the car seat fitted. I did get a second hand twin pram, simply because the one I wanted was $1200 brand new but now I am trying to sell that one and I am selling a single reversible pram too. We will only have an umbrealla stroller and a 3 wheeler when this one comes along. The 3 wheeler and capsule are on layby now.

I have also laybyed a decent change table. The last things to be bought are mainly nappies for this bub but I need to do the majority of the buying early as DH will be away for most of the 2nd trimester and some of the 3rd. I have also bought a new breast pump on sale. We will be using the cot we bought new when Em was born.

With the older 2 we bought in the second trimester, when I was not in too much pain, but this time we need to buy early so that I am not lugging heavy items if my pelvis gives up again. And with DH away chances are that I would end up having to do it all by myself anyway.
