What's everyone bought so far?
I've went and bought loads of things already!
Ordered the pram and the cotbed. They were in the sale so got a bargain. I also got the cotbed set, tie backs and curtains and border.
I've been picking up some clothes as I go along. So far I've got some sleepsuits, vests ands scratch mitts.
I was in Mamas and Papas earlier buying a gift for my friend and ended up buying some bibs and a hat as they were too cute.
Feel like buying more but moving soon so need to calm down on the spending.

I've been told off for spending money from my sister as I've been offered pretty much everything. Have agreed to by a fisher price jungle swing from a mate for ??15 brand new. Think I will wait until everything I've been promised appears and see what I am missing.
My friend has decided not to have anymore LOs and has everything in her attic that she said I can have crib, cot, pram, car seat, steriliser, boys clothes, bedding, toys.... I would like to buy a few things but another mate has offered girl clothes and we'll I think we'll see how money goes whilst I'm on maternity.
I will need to get a child trailer seat for a bike and would like to use cloth nappies so we will have enough to buy!
Am trying not to spend money but I'm just so excited!

We've also picked up a newborn bathtub and a transition bathtub (again, hand-me-downs in good condition), as well as an exersaucer, a carrier and some play things. My OH's sister is sending us a stroller she used for her kid.
Trying to get ahead of ourselves and get stuff now, before I get too big to be bothered!
Otherwise we have most everything from the others, so I am putting my excitment into to creating instead of buying. I keep telling dh, he can't grump about me making things for the baby, that is really not the same as buying

Will probably get a couple of new outfits, sterilizer and breast pump but everything else we have still got from DS, as he will only be 18 months everything is in good condition still.
Had to buy new pram but only because I brought an I candy pear last year when i was pregnant but misscarried so we sold it on ebay and brought a mamas and papas switch which is lush! Hubby put it in the loft though so I cant play!!! I stockpile nappies while pregnant I did with Emily its great cos there is so many little bits to buy once baby here and your on maternity pay.
Hubby brought a few blue bits as soon as we knew he was a he but I scored a bargin from friend with 2 boys who is expecting a girl 2 days before me, a huge huge bag of the cutest boy stuff for ??45.
I like to be organised!!!
We went out on the day we had our scan and bought LOADS.
We've got almost everything just need our cotbed and sheets, which my step mum and dad are buying for us and the wardrobe and changing unit which OH is making as he feels it will be special
A few of my family members have recently had babies aswell so we have a few nice bits from them aswell.
It's so exciting and feels like time is flying by.
