I am afraid that I am going to jinx myself. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-or-just-excited#post-179096 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 10:10:08 +0000 mrsjyw 179096@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was too paranoid to buy anything baby/maternity related pre-bfp. But, I have friends who "stock" up on deals too. I think it's more common than not actually.</p> <p>BABY dust your way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-or-just-excited#post-179043 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 09:30:49 +0000 Alivoo01 179043@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Like @Modern Daisy: , I've nonchalantly browsed, but never purchased anything. I do however, pick some shirts to wear now that I think could double up as "maternity" shirts! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-or-just-excited#post-179038 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 09:25:40 +0000 photojane 179038@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>three maternity items for less than $10 is awesome! i'm all about the stockpiling. getting little bits over time will save you money, and i think it's great to be excited. i feel like it's much better for you (and future baby) to be excited and have that positive energy around then be worrying all the time about those what ifs. :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-or-just-excited#post-179004 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 09:03:08 +0000 Modern Daisy 179004@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>That's really cute :) I totally picture myself doing that once we start seriously TTC later this summer. I've actually already looked online at maternity clothes, not to buy - just to get an idea of what's available and where I should shop when it happens. I'm a difficult body type to dress since I'm so short and curvy so I'm kind of dreading maternity clothes :) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-or-just-excited#post-179001 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 09:00:35 +0000 Rubies 179001@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I didn't/couldn't do it. I was also too paranoid. In fact, I didn't buy any maternity clothes until after my first trimester. BUT, we're all different! Good for you for finding great deals! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-or-just-excited#post-178998 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 08:55:02 +0000 Foodnerd81 178998@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Oooh I won't do that. I'm surprisingly superstitious with things like that. At the same time, I know I'll be getting a lot of hand me down maternity clothes coming my way, so I suppose that makes it easier to resist tempation anyway.<br /> I did by a shirt recently that now I'm wondering if it is maternity. It just fits weird, but I figure I can certainly where it while I'm pregnant at least. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-or-just-excited#post-178996 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 08:53:08 +0000 heffalump 178996@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'm way too paranoid to do that. But yay for you for finding some good deals, hope you get to use them! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-or-just-excited#post-178990 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 08:50:42 +0000 mrs. bird 178990@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>confession: i've done that too!! </p> <p>in my defense, i only do it if i can get an item for close to free. i get target coupons on my phone and my shop kick phone app also gets target coupons, they often put out $3 or $5 off maternity item coupons and if i'm looking through all the clearance clothes at target and stumble across something that's been marked down to $5 or under and i can use a coupon on it to get it for nothing or a few cents- i grab it! i figure it's weird, but whatever, it means i'll have a few basics when the time comes and wont need to spend a ton on things i could have gotten for free. a white tee shirt can be worn any season, so i stick to things that i will be able to use whenever i finally end up pregnant. if not, i can hold onto them for #2! =) i think i might stop for a while when i first get pregnant though, because right now, i don't associate any of it with a pregnancy, so if i had a loss i don't think the clothes would make me sad to see. but if i was pregnant when i bought them and i had made that connection between those clothes and that pregnancy i might not wanna wear them again.</p> <p>congrats on your find! baby dust to you &amp; me both so we can rock our non pregnant maternity finds =) </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-or-just-excited#post-178958 Tue, 05 Jun 2012 08:33:01 +0000 sorrycharlie 178958@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>baby dust to you! I picked up baby things, but not maternity because I didn't know what season I'd be pregnant in. That said, DH bought me 2 pairs of maternity jeans that I thought I wouldn't get much wear out of until post-partum, and it's been 50 in RI this week! So you never know! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-or-just-excited#post-178807 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 22:19:02 +0000 Mrs. Pen 178807@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>lol that's cute! Sending some baby dust your way! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/am-i-crazy-or-just-excited#post-178806 Mon, 04 Jun 2012 22:12:44 +0000 MrsCastro 178806@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So I went out to shop for some new work pants, and I ended up with three two maternity shirts and sweater. Granted they are for winter but I hope (crossing my fingers and toes) to be able to get pregnant in the next few months. So they would work out fine. I am a clearance hoarder, so I got the three items for less then $10 bucks. </p> <p>And again you read it correctly I am not pregnant (YET!!!). LOL </p>
