Hey BW

Maybe it could be a LTTTC thing, but you know what, I really just think it's just a matter of personal preference. Don't feel bad about it! I don't think you are being snobbish! Do what makes you and your DH comfy. If you want new things for bub and can afford them- GO FOR IT! The experience of having your first bub is so unique, and will never happen the same way again so do what YOU want to do.
Secondhand things can be great in many circumstances, especially if money is tight, but do what makes you happy. This is such a special time, enjoy it!!
