Just thought it would be interesting to see who's bought what already. I haven't yet but I have definetly been doing my shopping ( ie. stroller, crib, baby monitor, bedding, breast pump) just can't wait to acutally start buying it all!

I am on my 3rd cycle TTC#1...and I have to admit that I have bought 2 things: 1 is baby pastel multi colored yarn, which I am using to make a baby blanket , and 2 is a cross stitching kit which is a baby sampler for the baby room!

I haven’t bought anything yet. I don’t want to jinx anything just yet. I doubt I will buy baby things until I am in my third trimester. Most of what I need will be bought by family if I manage to get pregnant before the holidays.

I have bought decorations, crib sheets,lamp, etc and have collected childrens books. I have also made 4-5 bibs. I know it is a little crazy. Everyone ask me when I am due I just smile and say not soon enough.

I have bought clothes, books, pictures, wash cloths, bibs, blankets. I have went crazy. I can't help myself. Everything is so cute. I get this when I see them on sale. I have a head start right. My family will probably get us a lot of stuff also. When it happens.

Nope - don't want to jinx anything (call me superstitious). I just think it would be so desperately sad to have a partial/full nursery, but no baby.

Yep. Been buying up a storm! Mostly stuff from this consignment shop that has great prices. A bouncy seat, a nursing pillow, baby bathtub, special mirror for behind the carseat, and one of those baby gyms. A couple of new neutral clothes items, too. And I'm not even pg yet! Wait til I am ... then you'll really see me go to town! I won't need a thing by the time the kid's born!

I really WANT to buy stuff!! But since we just decided to start trying, it seems to be jumping the gun a little. I'm sort of afraid of jinxing it... but then I'm like, well, if I start NOW, then I will really be SAVING money LOL. I can rationalize almost anything! BUT, i do plan to just go look today! I can't help it :)

When I was little my grandfather made me a toy box...When I turned 12, I turned it into a "Hope Chest". So since then, I've been adding little things here and there. When I got married, I really didn't have to buy a lot of things, because I had so much already in my Hope Chest. So, now that I'm married, I've been putting baby stuff in there a little bit at a time. I have some clothes, bibs, and some toys and books... As far as the jinxing myself, I do worry about it, but I know that I will get pregnant when it is God's time for me to get pregnant...and If that is never, I'm sure I will be able to find someone who can use it!

I've only purchased the christening gown. The reason I did it even before we were TTC is that we were in Ennis, Ireland and I met this little old lady who had a fabric shop down an alley. She handmade the gown and it will be appropriate for a boy or a girl! My DH and I don't have many heirlooms, so I thought this could be one.

Even though I've only purchased one ite, I have done hours of research and have all my deicsions made on everything. I know exactly what I want in ways of diapers, formula, bottles, pack'n'play, nursery theme, travel system,etc. My DH even got involved when I was looking at the P'n'P and travel system. He did the manly thing and checked out the construction and durability of the materials!

We have fun looking at everything, but it is almost bittersweet because we want to be able to purchase! I'm TIRED OF WINDOW SHOPPING!!!!

I've bought one outfit, so far, at a rummage sale that I went to with my SIL a couple of weeks ago. It's a really cute, old fashion, Winnie the Pooh that I just couldn't pass up.
