When to buy?
Hi everyone
I'm 18 weeks pregnant with my second child and I was just wondering when everyone else is starting to buy baby things? we've kept the top 2 drawers of our chest of drawers in what will be the baby's room empty and I cant wait to start filling it with little outfits! we just came back from asda and they have some lovely little things. We're not finding out what we're having so we just want to buy neutral colors. So how soon is too soon to start collecting bits and bobs?

Alot of our newborn clothes are coming from friends, so I've jumped ahead started getting 3-6 mnths! Neutral sleepsuits and vests, a few unisex outfits.... Adams have a half price sale on, I was in there this afternoon spent ??25 but got tons for my money, really pleased )
Also taking advantage of the bogof offers in boots on baby wipes and cotton wool balls etc etc
We need to change a few things round and rip the study out before we start buying furniture and prams, can't wait for when we can though!!!
I keep having slight panics about getting everything ready so went and got some hospital bag essentials today. (I know it's early yet but I feel reassured if it's all organised and I know that in the last few weeks I will be too busy sorting and nesting at home to be worried about going round the shops).
Have fun filling your drawers!
(26 weeks today)

Unlike most ladies who have replied, I haven't brought much in terms of clothes. Im 31 wks and we dont know what we are having so we have stuck to neutral colours. I have brought a few things, such as body suits and mits etc. I hope to make sure i have everything s/he will need in hospital. I know my siblings have brought some clothes and said they are going to spoil the baby when it comes as its the first grandchild on each side. So im not planning on buying too much! In terms of other baby products, i didnt start buying until i was about 25 wks, but then again that was because my monthly income at the time was small. Now I have a better job we have all the main tings except choosing the travel system!
all the best xxx
We got a few bodysuits before the 20 week scan and decided to wait to get the bigger stuff. We went this weekend and got a few things although we are leaving them in their boxes until nearer my due date, boo hoo, I want to play with the gym and swing!LOL!
We also ordered our buggy on saturday as we have gone for the Phil and Ted sports buggy and the store we are buying it from are including the second seat free which converts it to a double (this is our first baby but we hope to have another one!).
We still have loads to get so its good to spread it out xx
